Abstract General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the importance of “standing on the right side of history”, argued for learning from history and following historical trends, and called for peaceful development and common progress of all humanity. Faced with the rampant notion of the “end of history” at the end of the last century, the viewpoint of “standing on the right side of history” accurately grasps the historical laws and trends of reality, and on the basis of the materialistic historical view, provides a strong refutation and dissolution of the abovementioned abstract viewpoint. It can be said that the viewpoint of “standing on the right side of history” embodies the requirement, guided by the materialistic historical view, to abandon and transcend capitalist civilization and steadfastly pursue a new path of Chinesestyle modernization. History is not ended, as the “end of history” claims, but rather in a process of progressive development. It is crucial to keep up with the tide of historical progress, pursue a path of peaceful development aiming at the free and comprehensive development of all humanity, and construct a “community of shared future for mankind” based on “winwin cooperation”.
