Modernisation is the process of development from a “pre-modern” or “traditional” to a “modern” society. In Western thought, modernization has been associated not only with technological advancement but also with secularization, democratization, and advancement of human rights. It is intimately linked to the ideas of enlightenment and rationality. According to the CCP, however, modernization includes the advancement of industry, agriculture, defense, and science and technology — while precluding political liberalization or democracy.
