Social justice is a critical issue that bears significantly on the success of modernization efforts. Broadly speaking, the success of a country’s modernization can be gauged by its performance in three key aspects: first, whether the modernization process is guided by a correct direction that effectively avoids significant deviations; second, whether it can garner a continuous driving force to prevent a decline in momentum; and third, whether it can proceed in a secure environment that effectively forestalls social upheaval, the forfeiture of past achievements, or exorbitant social costs. All these are directly related to social justice. In other words, actively maintaining and promoting social justice is an indispensable condition for the success of modernization.

摘要

Social justice is a critical issue that bears significantly on the success of modernization efforts. Broadly speaking, the success of a country’s modernization can be gauged by its performance in three key aspects: first, whether the modernization process is guided by a correct direction that effectively avoids significant deviations; second, whether it can garner a continuous driving force to prevent a decline in momentum; and third, whether it can proceed in a secure environment that effectively forestalls social upheaval, the forfeiture of past achievements, or exorbitant social costs. All these are directly related to social justice. In other words, actively maintaining and promoting social justice is an indispensable condition for the success of modernization.
