Abstract: Chinese modernization is construed as a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China.The explicit directives of socialism and the leadership of the CPC delineate the direction and nature requirements of political development in China.Chinese modernization constitutes a complex systemic endeavor,encompassing political,economic,social,cultural,and ecological domains,necessitating coordinated progress across these multifaceted dimensions.Notably,political development emerges as a paramount facet of national modernization,serving as the institutional underpinning for diverse modernization initiatives.The construct of Chinese modernization establishes a robust political system,a systematic and effective policy framework,and governance methodologies.It inherits and advances China’s distinguished traditional culture and the revolutionary traditions of the CPC,engendering distinctive perspectives on the people,democracy,governance,and development,thereby encapsulating a wealth of political values.Aligned with the characteristics and requisites of Chinese modernization,political development in China revolves around the core leadership of the CPC.While the political system has established a solid foundation and effective governance methods,key propositions related to institutions,values,reforms,and policy strategies necessitate further theoretical refinement through practical experience.It is imperative to distill the fundamental principles and experiences of political development in China,centered on the leadership of the CPC,to better propel the self-improvement and development of the socialist political system with Chinese characteristics and advance the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
