Abstract:
Modernization has been a ceaseless pursuit of the Communist Party of China since its establishment, especially since the founding of new China. A direct leader of economic construction of China, Zhou Enlai set the “four modernizations” as the goal of economic development of new China. The shaping of this strategic objective went through more than onefifth the century, in which Zhou Enlai devoted all his energy and life to the whole practice and work of scientizing and normalizing this objective. In fact, it was through several stages and several different wordings from “industrialization” to “building a modern industrial country”, from “building a complete industrial system” to “constructing an independent system of national economy” and from the introduction of concept of “four modernizations” to the complete expression of them before the objective of “four modernization” took shape. All this belongs to the precious spiritual treasures of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese nation.
