In the course of modernization, the capital-centered modernization has been dominant for a long time, but this solution raises the paradoxical problem that modernization and common prosperity cannot be achieved at the same time. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s theoretical and practical idea that Chinese-style modernization is “the modernization of common prosperity for all” in the report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC provides a scientific answer to this major paradoxical problem. The answer of Chinese-style modernization to the paradoxical question of common prosperity has resulted in three important achievements: at the theoretical level, it has reshaped “modernization”, “common prosperity” and their interrelationship from a general and systematic perspective, realizing an original theoretical development; in terms of realization, it adheres to the problem-oriented approach and completes the great practical creation of specific methods and paths to solve the paradoxical problem of common prosperity; in terms of institutional guarantee, it innovates the governance system and governance capacity to solve the paradoxical problem of common prosperity. The above major innovations are the innovative development of the Marxist view of world history in the new era, creating a new form of human civilization.
