Abstract
Global modernization provides rich experiential references and diverse perspectives for Chinese-style modernization. While Chinese-style modernization, as one with a huge population scale, faces unprecedented complexity and uniqueness, requiring the construction of independent knowledge and theoretical systems. This study proposes that the organic integration of Chinese-style modernization and the development of population theory to form a population theory system aligned with China's national conditions is an inevitable measure to advance Chinese-style modernization in a coordinated manner. This interconnected and integrated development model can not only clarify the value contribution of Chinese-style modernization to population theory innovation, but also elaborate on the value guidance of population theory innovation to Chinese-style modernization, thereby providing Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom for the global modernization process.
