After the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way is realized, the goal of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is put on the agenda. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party has made clear the mission and task of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the new era and new journey, that is, "to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, realize the goal of the second century, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization".This not only clarifies the goal of building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, but also explains the relationship between Chinese modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
On building a socialist modern country in an all-round wayRelationship with building a socialist modern power in an all-round wayGenerally speaking, building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is a process, and building a socialist modern power in an all-round way is the goal and result of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

In his speech at the second plenary session of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "China should unswervingly promote Chinese modernization, promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, and constantly make new and greater contributions to mankind." The important thesis of "promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization" has been clearly put forward here. The third historical resolution deliberated and adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, when explaining the connotation of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, emphasized that "upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the overall task is to realize socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" and "promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization".

Chinese-style modernization is the necessary stage and inevitable choice to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, laying a solid foundation and showing a bright future for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Defining Chinese-style modernization as the path to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is conducive to rallying the forces to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, clarifying the relationship between Chinese-style modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and dispelling the misunderstanding and prejudice of the international community in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
