Marxism, as the ideology of China's modernization, its relations with the "New Enlightenment Thought" in the 1980s was complicated. In the light of this historical background, the article tries to review the intellectuall thought of China in the 1990s. It argues, the critical perspective of intellectual thought of contemporary China is too narrowly downed to the level of nation-state's internal socio-political affairs, especially the state behaviour. It cannot grasp the relations between the changing state behaviour and its economic process in the discourse framework of global capitalism, especially the market condition. The author points out, it is an crucial theoretical agenda that to review the historical condition and approach of China's modernity, it must be located onto the historical perspective of globalization.
