China's National Rejuvenation Has Become a Historical Inevitability: From the Perspective of the CPC History Yang Fengcheng 2021, 55 (11):  5-13.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1979KB) ( )   From the perspective of the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China's national rejuvenation has become a historical inevitability thanks to a century of struggle of the CPC. The logic of this historical development is determined by the following aspects. First, the path determines destiny. By closely connecting the sinicization of Marxism with the Chinese path, the CPC has established and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, and found the right path to national rejuvenation. Second, institutions are fundamental. The institutions with Chinese characteristics provide a stable guarantee for China's national rejuvenation. Third, the comprehensive national strength of China has been ranked among the top countries, laying a solid material foundation for national rejuvenation. Fourth, the CPC is in its prime, which serves as a strong leading core for China's national rejuvenation. Related Articles | Metrics

The Theme of the CPC Centenary History and the Vision Expansion in the CPC History Research Chen Jinlong 2021, 55 (11):  14-21.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1468KB) ( )   As was made clear in the speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the conference celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the ultimate theme in the history of the CPC over the past 100 years, which provides a frame of reference for expanding the vision in the CPC history research. Interpretations of the historical stages, achievements, status, experiences of the CPC and the historical connections between the CPC history and the world history give guidance for obtaining a general picture of the CPC history. The research paradigm of the “history of China's national rejuvenation” centering on the ultimate theme of the centenary history of the CPC can not only include the “revolutionary history paradigm” and the “modernization paradigm”, but also present an overall understanding of the CPC history and highlight its historical theme. The clarification of the theme of the CPC's centenary history can serve as a reference in establishing the themes of the modern and contemporary history of China, the history of the People's Republic of China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialism.

The Value for the Times of Integrating Marxism with the Splendid Traditional Chinese Culture Wang Binglin, Li Gaiqi 2021, 55 (11):  22-29.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1673KB) ( )   Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for Party and state building, and the soul and banner of the Communist Party of China. And the philosophy, values, humanistic spirit and moral norms in the splendid traditional Chinese culture are very valuable intellectual resources. Combining the basic principles of Marxism and the splendid traditional Chinese culture is a necessity for upholding and developing Marxism, which can provide cultural resources to develop Marxism in contemporary China and in the 21st century. It is a necessity for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, because it can provide rich nutrients for expanding the socialist path with Chinese characteristics, facilitating the sinicization of Marxism, improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promoting the prosperity of the socialist culture. It is also a necessity for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, for it can provide a cultural foundation for creating new forms of human civilization.  Related Articles | Metrics

The China Miracle: Transformation and Growth Xie Fusheng, Kuang Xiaolu 2021, 55 (11):  30-42.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2812KB) ( )   What is crucial for explaining the China miracle is to clarify how, during the past stages of economic development, the economic system reform has solved the contradictions between the production mode and social demand in the old technological and economic system, removed institutional barriers in the formation of a new technological and economic system, and established the development direction of this new system to advance economic growth. Since 1978, the economic system reform in China has undergone three stages: the development of the planned commodity economy, the establishment of the socialist market economy system, and the improvement of the socialist market economy system. This process has successively given rise to three technological and economic systems, i.e. “quantitative subsistence consumption plus extensive production without technological progress”, “quality subsistence consumption plus extensive production with technological progress”, and “mass standardized consumption plus mass production”. Chinas economy has entered a state of new normal since 2012. A dynamic social consumption pattern featuring the coexistence of personalized demand and standardized demand has come into being. The current technological and economic system can hardly sustain China's high speed economic growth. It is necessary to further deepen the economic system reform and establish a new technological and economic system that can facilitate economic growth. Related Articles | Metrics

The Social Governance Community Construction from the Perspective of Coproduction: A Case Study of Public Security Coproduction in X District, A City Wei Na, Chen Junjie, Wang Huan 2021, 55 (11):  43-56.  Abstract ( )   PDF (3344KB) ( )   Constructing the “social governance community” is an important proposal of the CPC Central Committee on the modernization of national governance, which indicates the basic direction and goal of social construction for a period of time to come. Therefore, this paper selects a case of public security coproduction in X district of A city, attempting to explore how to promote the social governance community construction by coproduction. The findings show that the social governance community construction from the perspective of coproduction can start from the following aspects: subject—motivation (“coconstruction” arising from state initiatives and selfmotivation), action—process (“cogovernance” thanks to institutional guarantee, technological support and psychological empowerment) and value—outcome (“benefit sharing” featuring cultural cohesion, performance perception and emotional integration). By mixing the motivation, process and result streams, it will realize the “copresence” of both regular producers and consumer producers, and both the state and the society. In this way, joint forces of all related parties will be formed to enhance the durability of participation of citizens and make them benefit from it. Related Articles | Metrics

The Objectivity of Thought: From Hegel's Objective Spirit to Marx's Civil Society Zhang Na 2021, 55 (11):  57-65.  Abstract ( )   PDF (1683KB) ( )   The objectivity of thought as understood by Hegel is of foundational significance to Marx's thought. What is particular to it is that it requires the recurrence of things in the field of thought. This means that, firstly, thought can only obtain the truth about things by entering into the thing itself and grasping its essential attributes; secondly, thought can only gradually complete the truth about things by following the thing itself to understand its movement and development. Hegel not only reconstructed the objectivity of thought, but also provided objective thoughts implemented in family, the civil society, and the state. On this basis, through the analysis of social reality, Marx revealed the split and opposition in and the selfsublation movement of the civil society as a thing. If the objectivity of thought proposed by Hegel gives up the superiority of human beings over things, then Marxs theory of social reality manifests the meaning of things as the root of thought and spirit.

How Poverty Is Produced: Different Perceptions of Marx and Hegel—From Lectures on the Philosophy of Right to The Poverty of Philosophy Tian Shuwei 2021, 55 (11):  66-75.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2132KB) ( )   Within the framework of civil society principles, Hegel's thought on the cause of poverty has two problems. First, relative poverty can be produced by both natural differences of individuals and the social division of labor, but he only focuses on the former. He holds that the poor's discontent with the civil society is “arbitrariness” that is “against nature”, and regards this as a direct cause of the “poor rabble” (absolute poverty). Second, his thought on the “rich rabble” cannot explain why capitalists can obtain what they need without the exchange of equal values (oppression). In contrast, Marx gives up the civil society principles, and from the perspective of “class antagonism”, he argues that “oppression” and “being oppressed” derive from the class statuses of capitalists and workers, and poverty is produced by the socioeconomic structure, instead of individuals' natural differences or subjective factors such as “arbitrariness”. This objective understanding of history lays a solid social foundation for the poor to form their “class consciousness” and change their destiny. Related Articles | Metrics

Competition and Coordination: An Analysis of Japan's Interest Preferences in Its Perceptions of the “Belt & Road Initiative” Huang Dahui, Zhao Tianpeng 2021, 55 (11):  76-86.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2551KB) ( )   From the perspective of national interest preferences, this paper tries to analyze Japan's perceptions of the “Belt & Road Initiative”. The preferences for “relative material gains” and “normsshaped national interests” lead to Japan's competitionbiased perceptions, specifically involving the “threat” of this Initiative to Japan's geopolitical and geoeconomic interests, and the “challenge” to the Western values and international infrastructure construction standards. The “absolute material gains” lead to Japan's coordinationbiased perceptions, mostly reflected in its identification with global institutions, acceptance of regional institutional coordination, and exploration of pragmatic cooperation patterns. Since Biden took office, the US has been advancing the “IndoPacific” strategy with Japan and other countries. Japan's perceptions of the “Belt & Road Initiative” will probably remain the same in the future, i.e. competition will be the dominant perception, which is supplemented by coordination. However, there are still many uncertainties in this regard.   Related Articles | Metrics

How Socialist Countries Handle Relations between Internationalism and National Interests: Practice and Theory Sun Xihui 2021, 55 (11):  87-99.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2650KB) ( )   Faced with great changes unseen in a century and strategic pressures from the United States and other Western countries, China firmly safeguards its core interests, actively integrates into the international community, assumes responsibilities of a great power, and promotes global governance and the construction of a community of a shared future for mankind. This requires the proper handling of the relations between carrying forward internationalism and safeguarding national interests. This article uses a historical comparative analysis in the way of inductive reasoning to explore a theory about how socialist countries deal with the relations between internationalism and national interests. Based on the definition of core concepts, and a study of such practices of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China in different historical periods, this article summarizes the principles, standards and requirements about how socialist countries deal with the relations between internationalism and national interests.

Is “New Managerial Capitalism” Feasible? On Dumenil and Levy's Solution to the Crisis of Neoliberalism Liu Hui, Wu Haibao 2021, 55 (11):  100-112.  Abstract ( )   PDF (2822KB) ( )   Since the global financial crisis in 2008, the neoliberalist ideology has also encountered a crisis. To solve the crisis of neoliberalism and transcend the neoliberal order, Gerard Dumenil and Dominique Levy, two Western leftist scholars, have proposed the solution of “new managerial capitalism”. It advocates the use of the state power and the reliance on the socalled managerial class to regulate and suppress the financial parasitic class, in order to contain the financialization of capitalism and facilitate the return of financial capitalism to industrial capitalism. This solution is somewhat progressive, but lacks a profound understanding of the relations between financial capital and industrial capital as well as the inner contradictions in and the trend of the accumulation of financial capital. In addition, it does not show indepth insights into the nature of the managerial class. It also bypasses a core issue of socialism, namely the nationalization of financial capital. Therefore, it is essentially a capitalist reformist plan. Related Articles | Metrics
