在一两年前,我国有些城市和地区就提出了率先实现现代化的目标,并规定了具体的时间表。这次党的十六大报告明确指出:“有条件的地方可以发展得更快一些,在全面建设小康社会的基础上,率先基本实现现代化”。如何正确理解、把握和贯彻这一决策,是需要科学和冷静处置的一件事情。 In a year or two ago, some cities and regions in our country set forth the goal of the first modernization and set a specific timetable. The report of the 16th National Congress of the CPC made it clear that “where conditions permit, we can develop even faster and take the lead in basically realizing modernization on the basis of building an overall well-to-do society.” How to correctly understand, grasp and implement this decision is one thing that needs science and calm handling.
