Major Policy Innovations and Theoretical Contributions of Chinese-style Agricultural Modernization Kong Xiangzhi 2023, 57 (2):  17-27.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7584KB) ( )   The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed Chinesestyle modernization, of which Chinesestyle agricultural modernization is an important part. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party has made a series of major theoretical innovations in the exploration of the path of Chinesestyle agricultural modernization, including the following aspects: ensuring stability and continuously improving the basic rural management system; facilitating organic connections between smallscale farmers and modern agriculture facing the natural conditions of “smallscale farming of a big country”; correctly handling the relationship between “two resources” and “two markets” in terms of food security; and improving the adjustment of industryagriculture and urbanrural relationships and putting forward the strategy of the integrated development of urban and rural areas. These innovations made original contributions to Marxist political economy. To promote the realization of the goal of Chinesestyle agricultural modernization in the next century, we should respect the initiative spirit of farmers, put the farmers interests in first place, and identify the optimal point for urbanrural integration.

Implementing the Employment Priority Strategy and Promoting Sufficient Employment of High Quality Yang Weiguo 2023, 57 (2):  28-36.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7012KB) ( )   Implementing the strategy of employment priority is an inevitable requirement for fully implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and part and parcel of the efforts to promote Chinesestyle modernization. It is also an important content of improving people's wellbeing and a fundamental strategy to solve employment problems. To implement the employment priority strategy, we must adopt a problemoriented approach and apply systems thinking. Focusing on perspectives such as protecting employment rights of laborers, creating labor demand, promoting labor supply, optimizing the matching of labor supply and demand, and others alike, we should seek ways to solve the problem deeply and comprehensively, build a comprehensive employment policy system and employment policy evaluation and audit systems, and explore the establishment of new labor economics with more explanatory power based on Chinas employment practices and the evolution of employment paradigms.  Related Articles | Metrics

Living Conditions in the Post-Globalization Era and the Original Contribution and Significance of the Idea of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind Yuan Zushe 2023, 57 (2):  37-47.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7941KB) ( )   Community is the basic fact of the collective existence of civilized human beings. For human beings, community has always had multiple implications for cultural anthropology in terms of the ontology of existence, the rationality of historypractice, the coexistence of subjectscoexistence, the cocreation of values, solidaritycooperation and winwin, benefit sharing, the coimprovement of intellectuals, and the generation of identity and meaning. In this regard, community is the most basic way for human beings to achieve selfcultivation, selfconfirmation, selfrealization and selfreflection. The different forms in the evolution of the community can be regarded as the outstanding exploratory achievements of human beings in discovering, creating, and searching for the reasonable relationship between themselves and the objective world. Different from the previous ideas on community and their goal orientations and plans, the idea of a community with a shared future for mankind is not merely a new world view based on the theoretical foundation of Marxist historical materialism to reinterpret the world, and its most original ideological contribution lies in its emphasis on the collective action logic of “shaping the world” practically and realistically. It is also in this sense that because of its series of innovative achievements in human development rationality, community rationality, new value rationality, governance rationality and logic, and so forth, the idea of a community with a shared future for mankind, as a kind of Chinese wisdom and a Chinese solution for a just and beautiful world, has not only been written into UN resolutions, but also, as a new normative rational insight, have become and are becoming the basis for the international community to resolve conflicts, seek new value consensus, and search for the most appropriate rationale and value basis for “the strategy and wisdom of living a correct life in a community”.

On “Two Establishes” from the Perspective of the Body of Knowledge for the Discipline of the Chinese Communist Party History and Party Building: A Historical Investigation Based on a Political Concept Geng Huamin, Lu Xiaoying 2023, 57 (2):  48-57.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7086KB) ( )   As an original political concept, “Two Establishes” has been developed from “uphdding the leadership core”, the first “Establish”, the second “Establish”, “Two Upholds”, and “Two Establishes” in the political discourse of the Communist Party of China. It is an important embodiment of the Party's theoretical innovation in the new era and an excellent case of the integration and innovation of the intellectual concept of the Communist Party of China. Considering the semantics of the concept, the first “Establish” establishes the “core” position of the Party leadership in the Central Committee and in the whole Party from the political dimension; the second “Establish” establishes the guiding position of the Party's innovative theory from the theoretical dimension. Concerning the relationship between the two, the former is the premise and foundation of the latter, and the latter is the extension and sublimation of the former. Logically, the two have the same origin and direction, and have the ability to stay true to the original aspiration and founding mission. In the sense of disciplinary epistemology, the concept of “Two Establishes” has distinct characteristics of being endogenous, keeping pace with the times, and being commensurable, landmark and original. It is of great academic significance to grasp the essence of the great transformation in the new era.  Related Articles | Metrics

On the Relationship between the Discipline of Inner-Party Laws and Regulations and the Discipline of the Chinese Communist Party History and Party Building Meng Tao 2023, 57 (2):  58-67.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6960KB) ( )   Theoretically, the discipline of innerParty laws and regulations is an emerging interdisciplinary subject that is formed and developed from five firstlevel disciplines: jurisprudence, political science, Marxism studies, the discipline of Chinese Communist Party history and Party building, and the study of discipline inspection and supervision, while it is mainly established based on jurisprudence and the discipline of Chinese Communist Party history and Party building. Currently, jurisprudence plays the most important role in supporting the discipline of innerParty laws and regulations, while it is centered on state law and has obvious limitations. Based on the homology of taking the Chinese Communist Party as the subject of study, the discipline of Chinese Communist Party history and Party building adds new elements into the discipline of innerParty laws and regulations in terms of ideological theory, conceptual discourse, system construction, behavioral norms and external relations. It is necessary and feasible to set up the secondlevel discipline of innerParty laws and regulations in the discipline of Chinese Communist Party history and Party building. It can not only improve the body of knowledge for the firstlevel disciplines, enhance normative capacity and practicalness, but also expand the scope of growth of the discipline under the firstlevel disciplinary framework, strengthen the ideological depth, theoretical thickness, and historical breadth of academic research, as well as the intensity of talent cultivation.

The Construction of China-EU Digital Partnership and its Implications Fang Lexian, Fang Jingyi 2023, 57 (2):  68-80.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8220KB) ( )   Against the backdrop of profound changes in the international landscape, digital space has become one of the crucial sites of competition among major global actors. Stricken by the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic, the role of digital technology played in economic recovery and social governance has been underpinned. In order to enhance digital capability and discourse power, China and EU have implemented their respective digital strategies with priorities in digital transformation and digital sovereignty. In this context, in September 2020, China and EU announced to build a digital partnership, which can be a major new highlight of ChinaEU cooperation and a new growth point of bilateral relations, symbolizing that ChinaEU digital collaboration has gradually moved on the track of institutionalization. Nevertheless, the cognitive divergence between China and EU on the rules of global digital governance has limited the depth and breadth of this partnership, while the attitude of the US has remained to be one of the main obstacles to the current ChinaEU digital cooperation. The construction of ChinaEU digital partnership has become a common vision and pursuit for both sides. Upholding the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, China and EU should bridge differences through dialogue and work together to strengthen digital policy coordination and digital technology cooperation.

Bearers of Collective Power, Transfer of Profits and the Income of Enterprise Managers Zhang Kai, Wang Shengxiao 2023, 57 (2):  81-92.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8359KB) ( )   This paper constructs an average profit calculation formula that takes into account “manager salary”, ieaverage profit=profit of enterprise+special salary (manager salary), where “manager salary” is expressed as the fluctuation on the boundary of “wages of skilled labor” and “profit of enterprise”, and its variation depends on the dual effects of external constraints and internal constraints. And it introduces the excess profits generated by “collective forces” to describe the profit transfer mechanism and the income of managers. Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis of the Evolution of the Game Relationship between Digital Platform Founders and Capital Owners Zhao Xiuli 2023, 57 (2):  93-104.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8471KB) ( )   The digital platform is a new form of production organization, whose formation requires three major conditions, creativity, capital, and technology, and involves two major actors, idea owners and capital owners. From the initiation and operation to the phase of maturity and monopoly of digital platforms, the relationship between the idea owner (iethe “founder” of digital platforms) and the capital owner has undergone a series of evolutionary processes. With the evolution from the game relationship between idea owners and capital owners at the beginning of establishment of the digital platform to “the control relationship of creative labor over venture capital”, and to such relationship between “platform capital and venture capital” due to the maturity and monopoly of digital platforms, the creative labor is captured by capital and evolved into platform capital, forming a relationship in which capitals share surplus value. The essence of the evolution of the relationships between digital platform founders and capital owners is a sublation of the capitalist mode of production. The evolution of “creative labor” into platform capital has not changed the nature of capitalist production relations, while the division of labor, technology and organizational interaction are the ultimate forces driving the evolution of capitalist production relations. We can standardize the capital behavior on digital platforms through means such as strengthening the sovereignty of laborers on digital platforms through policy intervention, optimizing the innovative resource allocation on digital platforms by fully utilizing advantages of the organizational control models, and attaching more attention to creative work and innovative activities of laborers in the digital economy.  Related Articles | Metrics

A Comparison of Marx's and Wittgenstein's Perspectives on Society and Culture Zhang Xueguang 2023, 57 (2):  105-113.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6260KB) ( )   Although Karl Marx and Ludwig Wittgenstein both lived in the same age of modernity, they, in view of the differences in problem focus and degree of development of the times, had quite different attitudes toward a series of social and cultural issues, and had profound but different implications for future generations. Based on the theoretical need to develop a practical materialism and the serious social horizontal conflicts in the early stage of modernity, Marx attached great importance to the decisive role of social existence on cultural concepts, emphasized the profound influence of science and technology on social production and culture, and held a comparatively radical attitude towards the evolution of cultural forms. However, in the face of the historical task of defending the independence of language and culture and the historical vertical conflicts of different cultural forms in the midterm of modernity, Wittgenstein paid more attention to the description of spiritual life, objected to the erosion of science and technology into social values, and adhered to a comparatively conservative attitude toward the existence and continuation of culture. Therefore, we need to analyze the similar but differentiated positions and solutions of Marx and Wittgenstein against the background of modernity, and explore the complementary role and positive significance of their original ideas in solving the cultural problems of our times.  Related Articles | Metrics

On the Governance Level of and the Supply of Order in Villages: Also on How State Power Enters the Village Du Jiao 2023, 57 (2):  114-124.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8162KB) ( )   Village governance takes place at the most grassroots level in China and is an important part of national governance. The orderly supply of order in villages is directly related to the stability of the country and the vitality of social construction. With the enhancement of national strength, there is a close interactive relationship between the state and village governance, and state power fully enters village governance. Village governance is multilevel and can be divided into three governance dimensions: private domain, common domain and public domain. Affairs in these three domains have different properties and characteristics. This determines that there are essential differences in the guiding principles for dealing with affairs and achieving orders at different levels of governance. The supply of order in the village private domain should be led by individuals, while that in the common domain should be based on the principle of autonomy and selfgovernance, and state leadership should be ensured in the supply of order in the village public domain. The emergence of many current village governance dilemmas is related to the destruction of these principles caused by the entry of state power principles, especially reflected in the full squeeze of state power on the individual subjectivity of villagers in the supply of order in the village private domain and the collective subjectivity of village communities in the supply of order in the village common domain. The supply of order in the village private and common domains presents a trend of nationalization. In response, the exercise of state power needs to fully respect the characteristics of affairs that exist at different governance levels in villages, and give full play to its role in guiding and activating governance in village private and common domains, in order to achieve the precise and refined connection between state power and village governance and to achieve the goal of good governance in villages.
