The building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects marks the historic realization of “moderately prosperous China.” It is based on the premise of modernization and localization of Marxism in China, and is achieved through the historical path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. “Moderately prosperous China” is a decisive achievement of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the current stage, and a staged progress of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Building a moderately prosperous society in all respects also means a positive openness. The new historical orientation of China’s development is of great significance to the Chinese nation, to world socialism and to the overall progress of mankind. Therefore, it presents the “significance of world history” and will undertake world historical tasks. The specific goal of a “moderately prosperous China” is to build a great modern socialist country. The actual implementation of the construction process will mean the creation of higher social principles from the possibilities of new types of civilization.
