Features: The arrival of the 21st century is not only a shift in the dimension of time but also signifies a transformation in the spirit of the era. On one hand, peace and development have become the themes of the current era, and the process of economic globalization is accelerating rapidly. On the other hand, the technological revolution worldwide is advancing at a swift pace, driving the automation, informatization, and intellectualization of production, and also bringing profound changes to the social industrial structure, technological structure, social lifestyles, and ways of thinking of people. History has revealed the inevitability of major transformations, which also means that humanity has once again reached a critical turning point in social development. For China, this is inevitably an era filled with contradictions between opportunities and risks, as well as conflicts between development and stability. How to build socialism with Chinese characteristics better, faster, and more harmoniously in the new century requires not only our firm confidence and courage to strive but also, more importantly, scientific theories and extraordinary wisdom, so that we can stand at the forefront of the times, observe changes in the world, and seek new ways for the development of human society. We must also review the past and present of the Chinese nation to explore new directions for China's future development.
