The new era is a major historical change. In the historical achievements of socialist modernization, "all-round and pioneering" achievements have promoted "deep and fundamental" historical changes. This change has been clearly reflected in productivity and relations of production, economic base and superstructure, and China's full integration into the international community.

Characteristics of the new era:

In the new era, new is new, and the main contradictions in our society have undergone new changes. The main social contradictions and their changes are the important basis for dividing the stages of social development. On the basis of great achievements made since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, China's development has stood at a new historical starting point. The main social contradiction has changed from the contradiction between people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production to the contradiction between people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development.
