Keywords:

Industrialization, modernization, China, Vietnam

Abstract

The process of industrialization and modernization in China has been carried out over several decades to build a robust economy based on a foundation of modern industry and the application of advanced scientific and technological achievements. This effort has not only enabled China to achieve high labor productivity, improve production efficiency, and enhance product quality but also strongly promoted the restructuring of its economy toward modernization and sustainability. In the course of research, the combined use of historical and logical methods has made it possible to reconstruct a comprehensive and detailed picture of China's industrialization and modernization process. Through this, core and essential aspects of the process have been clarified, and valuable lessons have been drawn. These lessons not only inspire but also serve as a foundation for Vietnam to reference and apply in its current efforts to achieve industrialization and modernization in its economic and social development.
