Features: Based on the findings of this book, the further research achievements are accumulated and compiled into a second book with the same title, "Modern Socialist Theory," but its subtitle has been expanded from "The Chinese Characteristics of the Socialist Construction Path" to "Exploring Two Types of Socialist Construction Paths." The two types refer to developed capitalist countries and developing countries. The socialist construction path of the former, as mentioned in "Critique of the Gotha Program," involves a brief transitional period before entering "socialism and communism." The socialist construction path of the latter, as envisioned by Marx, Engels, and Lenin for Russia, involves a considerably longer transitional period before entering "socialism and communism," with the socialist society further divided into stages. In this book, the focus is on researching the socialist construction path of developing countries and its characteristics. In the second book, the focus shifts to exploring the socialist construction path in developed capitalist countries, while further discussing the prospects of China's peaceful rise and Russia's "awakening."
