On Issues Concerning Socialism Characteristic of the Chinese Style TAO Wen-Zhao 2012, 47 (7):  5-13.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (7613KB) ( )   To take its own path of development, China has to meet two requirements. Objectively China has to be powerful enough; subjectively China must be ideologically mature. As Chinese characteristics mean differently at different times, it is necessary to avoid using this term too extensively. Chinese characteristics should also be complementary with the world vision in order to draw on lessons from international experiences, take international opportunities, and meet international challenges. While persisting in taking economic construction as the central aim, it is equally important to add new connotation of the time to this. A calm and scientific attitude should be adopted towards institutional maturity and stereotype, and simplified or over estimation of them should be avoided. In practice, the relations of institutional construction with reform and opening up should be properly handled. In the basically gradual and steady progress of the reform in China are also radical aspects. In the future, more emphases should be placed on application of comprehensive reform methods. And the theory of socialism characteristic of the Chinese style tends to be fine, systematic, precise, concrete, popularized, and supported by policies with maturity. Related Articles | Metrics

On Application of Differential Monetary Policies in East China and West China GONG Xiao-Ying-1, YANG Xiao-Yong-2 2012, 47 (7):  14-19.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (5015KB) ( )   That there exists a large gap between the east and the west parts of China in economic development leads to the fact that the same monetary policy effective in east China does not function as well in west China. In order to carry out the scientific concept of development with the purpose of achieving coordinated regional economic development and establishing a harmonious society, differential monetary policies should be applied with those in west China be relatively more flexible or loose.

Internationalization of RMB, Changes in International Balance of Payments and Adjustment of the Chinese Economic Structure HUANG Juan 2012, 47 (7):  20-27.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (6653KB) ( )   The internationalization process of RMB indicates that the Chinese foreign trade has changed from mainly exporting products to mainly exporting capital. In this process, there is the need for a large quantity of RMB output. Thus, China's international balance of payments will develop from double surplus to basically balanced, and then to trade deficit. Generally speaking, surplus represents competitiveness of a country and stands for the cornerstone of its monetary value. This is what we should stick to when the international balance of payments structure is changing, and China should choose to achieve capital deficit in financial projects. .The changes in the international balance of payments structure will cause adjustments in the Chinese import and export policies, opening of the financial market, and the Chinese economic structure as well. Internationalization of RMB will promote transformation of the Chinese economic growth model, making it turn to emphasize domestic needs. Related Articles | Metrics

Ideology and Visual Culture in Daily Life WU Xue-Qin 2012, 47 (7):  28-35.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (6648KB) ( )   Visual culture is a newly rising cultural pattern and thinking mode. It refers to a highly visualized culture based on “image”and“scenery”. It is also a new media of ideology that induces the audience to have an alternative illusion of the figures in the work. Thus, it becomes a new way of ideological control in daily life. Its internal mechanism is a character of visual culture, that is, “calling the individual interpellation as the principal part”. In other words, while viewing the image, it makes the viewers to indulge into it so much that they change their role as an outsider to that of the subject and become willing to identify with the ideological concepts conveyed through the image.
