(Abstract)

Wang Linggui

The xiaokang (or moderately prosperous) society is a great creation of the Chinese Communists, who integrated the basic tenets of Marxism with the realities of China and the fine traditional Chinese culture. In exploring the path from realizing a xiaokang life to completing the building of a xiaokang society in all respects, the Communist Party of China has led people in creating a new and uniquely Chinese path to modernization and a new form of human civilization. This path is the only path to a better life for the Chinese people, to a strong socialist country in all aspects, and to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Its enormous success highlights great advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics, providing an important example for developing countries that inspire to maintain independence while pursuing their modernization. On the basis of completing the building of a xiaokang society in an all-round way, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core unite and lead the people from all ethnic groups in embarking a new journey toward building a modern socialist country in all respects, and, from this new historical starting point, have established the strategic goal of basically achieving common prosperity, a new blueprint for the future development of Chinese modernization. This path is bound to expand and deepen under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and to create greater glory and make new and greater contributions to human civilization.
