A People's Daily commentary, the fourth in a series captioned 'This is modernization in
harmony with material civilization and spiritual civilization (people's point of view)——
Profoundly understand the Chinese characteristics and essential requirements of Chinese-style
modernization' said "Only by focusing on economic construction and comprehensively
enhancing economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive
national strength can we consolidate the material foundation for national prosperity, national
rejuvenation, and people's happiness". It said, "Achieving national rejuvenation requires both
strong material strength and strong spiritual strength". The commentary added "Development
is the party's first priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, and it is the "master key"
to solve all problems. Without a developed material civilization, a country and a nation will
lack the material foundation to stand on its own in the world. Chinese-style modernization
continuously promotes the development and progress of material civilization, which is a
process of material accumulation".
