Abstract:In the process of world modernization, the unary mode of body and function formed in the 19th century (the industrialization created by the West as the function, the Western democratic system and the Western values as the body) has become unsustainable. More non-Western countries have created the binary mode of body and function (the industrialization mode created by the West as the function, the non-Western political system and the non-Western values as the body). The binary mode of body and function implies the existence of differential modernization, also known as diversity modernization. The “Chinese body and Western function” mode is actually an early expression of diversified modernization, and the current Chinese modernization provides a model for diversified modernization. In order to solve the contradictions of differential modernization of human society and the current common crisis, China has put forward the “community with a shared future for mankind” initiative, which goes beyond the debate of social system, ideology, and historical civilization. Based on this, Chinese modernization is called “a new form of human civilization”.
