ABSTRACT: Against the background of the important achievements of Chinese-style modernization, the review and reflection on the modernization process of the Third World countries around the world reflect important academic value and practical significance. In this paper, we have sorted out the theoretical and practical dilemmas faced by Latin America in the process of modernization, explored the specific measures taken by Latin America to break through the dilemmas and their effectiveness, and reflected and summarized the early attempts of modernization in Latin America, so as to extract the significance of Latin American modernization for Chinese modernization from the aspects of political construction, economic construction and social construction. As both China and Latin America are late-modernizing countries, it is of great significance for Chinese modernization to review the difficulties and attempts of Latin America’s modernization and pay attention to Latin America’s historical experience, so as to strengthen its autonomy and independence in the process of modernization.
