This is not only a theoretical summary, but also a practical requirement, pointing out a broad road for comprehensively building a socialist modernized power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, we have spent decades completing the industrialization process that Western developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years, creating miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and opening up broad prospects for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
