The deepening of the division of labor is an important driving force for the development of social productive forces and market economy. This paper, starting from Marxs view of division of labor, comprehensively explains the intrinsic connection between building a highstandard socialist market economy and developing new quality productive forces. From the divisioncollaboration relationship between market entities and the social divisionexchange relationship in the process of social reproduction, we systematically investigate the microlevel foundation and macrolevel mechanism of the highstandard socialist market economy to promote the formation of new quality productive forces, and elaborate the scientific connotation of the highstandard socialist market economy. On this basis, focusing on correctly handling the relationship between the government and the market, we expound on the series of important plans made at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on systematically deepening the reform of systems and mechanisms and giving full play to the advantages of the highstandard socialist market economy. We believe that the new ideas, viewpoints, and plans adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee on building a highstandard socialist market economy reflect the further deepening of the CPCs understanding of the theory of socialist market economy and the law of highquality development, which are another innovative development and creative application of the scientific theories of Marxist political economy in the new era of China.

The “six musts” are the practical philosophical expression of the Communist Party of China in governing the country. They have endowed the Marxist worldview and methodology with new contemporary connotations, consolidated the philosophical foundation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in pursuing the “two integrations”, and are the “golden key” to guide the solution of all problems in China in the new era. The basic concepts and methods implied by the “six musts” are to put the peoples interests above all else, maintain a firm grasp on the future of development and progress, forge ahead in consolidating the foundations, focus on contradictions and take targeted measures, take a comprehensive view of the overall situation and plan for the long term, and be dedicated to human progress and world harmony. These are not only the persistence and development of Marxist philosophy, but also the sublimation of fine traditional Chinese culture. They have a clear relevance to reality, provide sharp weapons for transforming the subjective and objective world, and are a powerful tool for us to improve our thinking ability and optimize our method of thinking. Only by persistently seeking truth from facts, linking ourselves with objective reality, and actively bringing into play our subjective initiative can we turn them into the power of practice and shoulder the historic mission.

In the development of Marxs philosophical thought, there have been three ideological transformations, namely, from the logic of rational selfconsciousness to humanistic logic, from humanistic logic to production logic, and from production logic to capital logic. After 1845, Marxs thought did not remain within the theoretical framework based on production logic. Through the historical ideas in The Poverty of Philosophy and the juxtaposition of production logic and capital logic in Economic Manuscripts of 1857—1858, Marxs thought completed the third ideological transformation in Das Kapital, taking capital logic as the basic logic to confront capitalist society. This ideological transformation has formed the theoretical basis for directly addressing capitalist society, and also provided us with theoretical discernment in understanding contemporary capitalist society and its ideologies.

The Communist Party of China is an advanced political party armed with Marxist theory. Using the basic principles of Marxism to guide China's practice is a musthave skill for the Chinese communists. In order to master the skill through earnest study of Marxist theory, the Chinese communists must learn, understand, and comprehend the Marxist classics with an attitude of making “breakthrough”; we must learn and master the Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method in a practical, honest, and targeted way with a “practical” attitude; we must study the Marxist classics with a “thinking” attitude and then grasp the spiritual essence of Marxist theory; and we must integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with Chinas specific realities with an “alive” attitude, and learn to apply Marxist theory to Chinas specific realities. Constantly drawing scientific wisdom and spiritual strength from the Marxist classics and accurately understanding the spiritual essence of Marxist theory not only reflect the scientific attitude and method of the Chinese communists in learning the Marxist classics, but also are the inherent requirement for the Chinese communists, as the backbone of the Chinese people, to take the lead at all times all along. 

After the October Revolution, the formation of the party leadership system in Soviet Russia did not take place overnight, but was a gradual and indepth process. In Lenin's understanding, the leadership of the Bolshevik Party over Soviet Russia was transformed from the holding of “political power” to the exercising of “power to govern”, and finally upgraded to an institutional system. The core clue behind it was the application and evolution of the early model of party leadership created by Lenin before the October Revolution in the postrevolutionary period. Lenin realized in practice that the mechanisms of ideological education and organization embedded in the early model of party leadership determined that the party was the only governing entity that matched the requirements of the socialist revolution and construction in Soviet Russia. Therefore, he consciously introduced the core mechanisms of the early model of party leadership into the political practice of the Soviet state  comprehensively, and then embedded them systematically into the state system, creating the fundamental leadership system in Soviet Russia.  

In the Internet era, the construction of cyberspace based on digital, networked and intelligent technologies has provided a new field of activity for human spiritual communication practice, which promotes the extension of spiritual communication activities in real society to cyberspace and gives birth to a new form of communication practice, namely, spiritual communication in cyberspace. Spiritual communication in cyberspace is a practical activity based on virtual practice, connected by digital relationships, dominated by meaning sharing, and produced by network ideologies. Changes in the mode of production of information, innovations in media technologies, the evolution of survival practice, and the needs of human spiritual communication in cyberspace jointly promote the generation and development of spiritual communication in cyberspace. In the face of the profound changes in the practice of spiritual communication, we should scientifically grasp the value connotation of spiritual communication in cyberspace in realizing the comprehensive development of human beings, promoting the common prosperity of the peoples spiritual life, promoting the construction of cyber civilization in the new era, and building a community with a shared future in cyberspace, so as to open new prospects for the practice of spiritual communication in cyberspace.

Contemporary China is faced with the problem of uneven development in such a large country, and the implementation of coordinated governance is an effective way for the state to solve the problem. Coordinated governance in contemporary China involves virtually all elements of national governance and runs through the entire process of national governance. It presents such distinctive features as being led by the Party, and being comprehensive, systematic, integrated, unimpededly communicated and balanced. All the activities of coordinated national governance are directed towards the common goal of balanced national development. In the process of realizing balanced national development, coordinated governance in contemporary China has reduced internal conflicts, strengthened national integration, transformed the countrys scale advantage into its development advantage, and improved the quality of national development. Whether viewed from a historical perspective or from a comparative perspective, coordinated governance in contemporary Chinese operates in a very unique political environment. The uniqueness of this political environment needs to be understood in order to explain the effectiveness of coordinated governance and to solve the riddle of balanced development in contemporary China.

As a concentrated manifestation of the bourgeoisies transfer of contradictions abroad, imperialism has an important impact on the direction of the major changes unseen for a century that the world today is undergoing. The differences between the existing concepts of “imperialism” in terms of time, level and moral evaluation are rooted in the changes in the phenomenon of imperialism and the differences in the dimensions of researchers understanding. In order to effectively bridge the differences in the study of imperialism, it is necessary to reconceptualize the term “imperialism” at the metatheoretical level. By examining imperialism in the process of changing contradictions in capitalist society, it can be found that imperialism is a phenomenon in which the bourgeoisie transfers contradictions abroad through different carriers in order to safeguard their own class interests and solve the contradictions in capitalist society. Imperialism runs through the entire process of capitalist development, and the bourgeoisie dominates the evolution of imperialism. Promoting the common development of all mankind and narrowing the development gap between developed capitalist countries and developing countries will accelerate the decline of the imperialismdominated world system and push the world system towards a more just and reasonable direction.

The objective world is generated by practice and knowledge constructs peoples thought and behavior, and people also construct practice and knowledge that are beneficial to themselves. Reification is the phenomenon that the product of human activities is independent of human beings, not subject to their control, and restricts the latter. In modern times, the Westerndominated international system and order and the international relations theory (knowledge) derived from the practice of Western international relations, as “objective reality” and “subjective reality”, continue to shape contemporary international relations, restrict the independent choice and external behavior of emerging markets and developing countries, limit their right to participate in international affairs and their creativity, and make them become passive recipients of the existing practices and theories of international relations. This paper analyzes the essence of the history and reality of Western international relations and the defects of relevant theoretical viewpoints. It holds that the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has adapted to the reality of major changes unseen in a century and put forward new principles and ideas to guide the future development of international relations, making it possible to usher in a new type of international relations.

Nowadays, the accelerated upgrading and largescale application of generative AI are ushering in a new industrial revolution, and digital capitalism is entering the era of large model production. In general, the “oneclick generation” in large model production has unleashed tremendous production efficiency, leading to a massive influx of capitalist digital wealth. At the same time, large model production reshapes the process, content and mode of digital labor, and promotes the increasingly predatory accumulation of digital capital, thus making the production boundaries of capital increasingly visible. Based on the critical perspective of Marxist political economy, this paper examines the “digital prosperity” created by large model production, elaborates on the “change” and “invariance” in the value movement of digital capitalism, and helps deepen our understanding of the regularity of AI application in the context of comtemporary capitalist economy. Furthermore, it is also beneficial to forge a path of large model development with Chinese characteristics, accelerate the development of new quality productive forces according to local conditions, and continuously promote the highquality development of Chinas digital economy.

The booming digital economy has profoundly affected the reproduction process of labor power while reshaping production technology, production organization, and labor process. Based on the Marxs theory of reproduction of labor power, this paper applies Lebowitzs dual circulation model of capital and wage labor to systematically examine the new changes in the reproduction process of labor power under the digital economy. We find that, first, digital products have enriched the range of living materials for workers, and the education received by workers has shown a polarized trend. Second, digital production and consumption activities have blurred the boundaries between production and consumption, and labor relations have become increasingly unstable. Third, the financialization of labor power reproduction and the socialization of housework have accelerated, and the new business model in the digital economy requires the improvement of the social security system. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made remarkable achievements in promoting the development of digital economy at the national level. In order to promote the digital economy to serve the highquality economic development, various social entities should make efforts to make sure the reproduction of labor power go smoothly, continuously fill the regulatory gaps in the field of the digital economy, and guide the healthy development of the digital economy. 《教学与研究》2024年总目录
