Marx, Chinese-style modernisation, Material civilisation, Spiritual civilisationAbstract
Marx's theory of modernity, especially his critique of capitalist modernity and his initial exploration of socialist modernity, is an important theoretical resource for us to understand and grasp Chinese-style modernisation. Chinese-style modernisation is a modernisation that harmonises material and spiritual civilisation. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism with comprehensive development of material and spiritual civilisations. To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way and to march towards the goal of the second hundred years of struggle, it is necessary to improve both the construction of material civilisation and spiritual civilisation, and to realise that the country's material power and spiritual power are both enhanced.
