The article says Chinese modernization is one that features a huge population, common prosperity for all, and material and cultural-ethical advancement. It also entails harmony between humanity and nature, as well as peaceful development.

It says to build China into a great modern socialist country in all respects, a two-step strategic plan has been adopted: basically realize socialist modernization from 2020 through 2035, and build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful from 2035 through the middle of this century.

The entire Party must forge ahead with confidence and determination; proactively identify, respond to, and steer changes and prevent and defuse risks; and keep on striving to secure new successes in building a modern socialist China in all respects, the article adds.
