Looking back on the arduous journey the Communist Party of China has traveled in searching for the Chinese path to modernization since the founding of the Peoples Republic of China, from the perspective of the historical orientation to understand Chinas development, the national conditions in the primary stage of socialism determine the universality and particularity of the Chinesestyle modernization in the period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. The evolution of the principal contradictions in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics and changes in the international and domestic environments faced by China since it entered a new stage of development require an innovative development of the Chinese new path to modernization in the new era. From the primary stage of socialism, to the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and then to the new stage of development, there is a relationship between the three that features the mutual inclusion, progression and leap, and the main thread running through them is the primary stage of socialism. All of the above provides a reference with high consistency for the construction of a real, multidimensional and comprehensive discourse system of the Chinese path to modernization.
