Over its 105-year history, the CCP has led the Chinese people through various stages, including revolution, development, reform, and the "new era." Its efforts have resulted in the eradication of absolute poverty, the establishment of a comprehensive industrial system, and the creation of the world's largest education and social security systems. The article posits that the CCP's "Chinese-style Modernization" is characterized by its massive population scale, pursuit of common prosperity for all, and the harmonious integration of material and spiritual civilization, all while adhering to Marxist principles adapted to China's reality and cultural heritage.
