Abstract: Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the understanding of China's Road by the Western Left has undergone a phased change. Especially since the Eighteenth National Congress of the CPC, the Western Left has a deeper understanding of China's Road and a higher degree of recognition. However, at the theoretical level, the Western Left still has inadequate understanding of the “ThreePrinciple” and has not fully understood the achievements, values and significance of China's Road. At the level of consciousness, the influence of west centralism and the lack of understanding of China's reality still cause great trouble to the Western Left to understand China's Road. Chinese scholars should face up to the cognitive problems of the China's Road of the Western Left and give resolute response to the misunderstanding of the China's Road while explaining the China's Road.

Key words: Western Left, China's Road, cognition, ThreePrinciple, West Centralism

摘要： 改革开放四十多年，西方左派对中国道路的认识发生着阶段性的变化。特别是党的十八大以来，左派学者对中国道路的认知更加深入，认同度也更加提升。但是在理论层面，西方左派对“三大规律”的认识仍然存在不足，对中国道路的成就、价值和意义尚未完全理解。在意识层面，西方中心主义的驱使，以及缺乏对中国的现实了解，依旧给西方左派了解中国道路造成巨大困扰。中国学者应当正视西方左派的中国道路认知问题，在阐释好中国道路的同时，对误解中国道路的方面给予坚决回应。
