Abstract
If surveyed from the general history of world industrialization, what kind of characteristics does China’s industrialization process have? To sum up, we may say that China’s industrialization process since the reform and opening up is a rapid industrialization process for a major country with a population of 1.3 billion, and a great modernization process unprecedented in human history.

The figures in the parentheses are the average annual growth rates of the comprehensive index for industrialization level. Since Shanghai and Beijing have successively completed industrialization around 2000, the standardized stage threshold value method used for this research cannot measure their economic growth at the post-industrialization stage; moreover, the 1995 data of Chongqing is unavailable. Thus these three regions are excluded from the ranking.
- 6.
It needs to be make clear that the judgment of the industrialization track in this paper is only proximate, since we have only calculated the comprehensive indexes for industrialization level for 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010, and the transition between different stages are not necessarily completed in these four years.
