Abstract: The cause from general modernization to specific Chinesestyle modernization has been pursued with the intensive promotion of transformation, upgrading and optimization, spreading and scaling up innovation, integration and invention. Modernization in China is first of all a modernization process that is forced to be initiated under the influence of the mode of “external shocksChinese response”, and it is the application and extension of general modernization models. Only by combining the universal and general quests for modernity with China's unique conditions, paths and models, and fostering the “Chinese paradigm” of modernization, would the Chinese-style modernization gradually dispel the myth of“modernization equals Westernization”claimed by developmentalism and developmental determinism, and defuse the negative image of China stereotyped by the Western Enlightenment discourse. A new image of China is thus created through integrating and innovating the universal requirements of modernization, the development path of the Chinese civilization and the new socialist civilization. The Chinesestyle modernization develops a new socialist civilization pattern and logic that surpasses the Western capitalist civilization through more “circulation” and “exchange”, ie. harmonious coexistence and winwin cooperation between man and nature, man and man, and country and country instead of the zerosum thinking based on plundering and slaughter, and presents a new pattern and vision of new world civilization. A mature socialist party and government are needed to prevent the blind expansion of the capital logic, to limit the extrapolation of global problems, and to ensure that the fruits of development are fairly shared by all rather than by capitals and elites. Only in this way can the new concepts, ideas and policies provided by the Chinese-style modernization be better realized.
