Abstract: Chinese-style modernization is an endogenous concept with theoretical originality, which has grown out of the Chinese soil. It is the product of following the “two combinations”, especially “the second combination”, rather than an imitation, transplantation or appropriation of Western civilization and culture. The innovation of its cultural form mainly stems from the new content generated by the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and with the excellent traditional Chinese culture. In particular, the profound heritage of Chinese culture has profoundly influenced the innovative orientation of Chinese-style modernization, thereby providing a value reference and internal specification for transcending the Western modernization model and expanding the dimension of modernity. The timely proposal of the major assertion of Chinese-style modernization is a manifestation of the Communist Party of China's progress from cultural confidence to cultural self-strengthening, an ideological crystallization of the Party's innovative theory, and the latest achievement of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism.

Key words: Chinese-style modernization, excellent traditional Chinese culture, modern values, new paradigm in human civilization
