Beijing has led China's modernization efforts for four consecutive years, according to the "2024 Chinese Modernization Index Report" released Wednesday by the School of Statistics of Renmin University of China. 

The report evaluates the progress of Chinese modernization across five key areas: economy, politics, culture, society, and ecology. 

The assessment framework comprises 24 indicators, including innovation, economic security, political participation, government efficiency, law-based governance, cultural engagement, social security, and pollution control. 

The report highlights steady progress in China's modernization journey over the past four years, with the most notable improvement seen in ecological conservation, demonstrating China's commitment to green development. Beijing, Shanghai, and Zhejiang province topped the rankings in this respect, each scoring over 80.

Beijing is also ranked first in social modernization, driven by expanded coverage in areas like education, eldercare, and healthcare.

The report recommends further economic development, strengthening government performance, promoting green development principles, and increasing people's cultural participation.
