Abstract: Modernization is a global proposition. The CPC has successfully opened up and actively promoted the Chinese path to modernization, which is permeated with the "doctrine" consciousness and civilization confidence. Study on the Chinese path to modernization includes the recognition of this successful model's empirical contributions to world modernization. The Chinese path to modernization has developed new ways to modernization for developing countries, exploring a new type of modernization—socialist modernization, and has created a new form of civilization—the modern Chinese civilization.

Key words: the Chinese path to modernization, world civilization, development path
