Abstract:The parallel logic is the spatiotemporal expression of the Chinese path to modernization, which highlights the Chinese characteristics of the modernization. From the perspective of sequential comparison between China and the West, Chinese modernization has the following spatiotemporal characteristics: its time for development is highly squeezed, its space for development is simultaneous and multi-regional, its development tasks are highly superimposed, and its development strategy is catching up with and even overtaking others as a later-comer. The parallel logic of the Chinese path to modernization has notable advantages compared with the single linear theory, the gradual change theory and the dependent development theory, and shows great charm of the parallel path regarding its value. At the same time, the spatiotemporal characteristics of the parallel logic demands that advancing modernization in the new era must handle properly the multiple tension between vitality and stability, production and ecology, fairness and efficiency, and freedom and order.
