Abstract: Chinese-style modernization entails controversies in two dimensions: the ancient and modern controversy, and the East and West controversy. “Chinese style” mainly answers the question of why this “modernization” is Chinese and why it is not Western, which is a powerful response to the East and West controversy; “Modernization” mainly answers the question of why this” Chinese style “is modern and why it is not ancient, which is a powerful response to the ancient and the modern controversy. The reason why Chinese-style modernization is able to effectively break the “ancient-modern-China-West controversy” is that the CPC has continuously deepened its theoretical knowledge and practical creation of combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's realities and excellent traditional Chinese culture during its century-long history, and has adhered to the principles of combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and excellent traditional Chinese culture. Adhering to Marxism as the guidance, the excellent traditional Chinese culture as the base, the Communist Party of China as the leader, and the people as the support, we have balzed a path to socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics.

Key words: Communist Party of China (CPC), Chinese style, modernization, ancient and modern Chinese-Western dispute, “two combinations”
