On the Deep Logic and Historical Inheritance of the Great Founding Spirit of the Party He Husheng, Zhang Lin 2023, 57 (7):  17-27.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8821KB) ( )   As the spiritual source of the Communist Party of China, the great founding spirit of the Party has profoundly answered the fundamental questions regarding what the Party is and what it wants to do, ie. the Party is a proletarian party composed of people who adhere to the truth of Marxism, and promote the socialist and communist ideals in China. At the same time, it proclaims the fundamental mission of the Party for what it stands for and what it lives for, outlines the fundamental path of the Party to readily take responsibility and ably perform their duties, demonstrates the fundamental position of the Party on whom to serve and on whom to rely, and contains a deep logic from who I am to who I am for and from what I do to how I do it. In the course of longterm struggle, the Chinese Communists have inherited the great founding spirit of the Party, and generated distinctive spiritual forms according to social practices in different historical periods. From a macro perspective, they can be summarized successively as the spirit of great revolution, the spirit of hard work, the spirit of reform and opening up, and the spirit of great struggle. On the new journey, the key to carrying forward the great founding spirit of the Party in practice is to take it as a practical standard, and lead all Party members to strive to be sober minded, politically clear, spiritual guiding, and steadfast in work and become the Chinese Communists capable of shouldering the responsibility of national rejuvenation.

A Study on the Mechanisms by Which the Structure of Primary Distribution Affects the Dynamic Balance of the Reproduction of Material Goods and That of Labor Zhou Shaodong, Zhang Yuying 2023, 57 (7):  37-51.  Abstract ( )   PDF (11745KB) ( )   The dynamic balance between supply and demand is essential to promoting highquality economic development. The supplyside relationships affect the “reproduction of material goods” and the demandside relationships are associated with the “reproduction of labor”. Among the various factors affecting the two types of production, the distribution structure of labor and capital at the stage of primary distribution determines the way in which laborers can restore their working capacity. Therefore, it has a complex and profound impact on the dynamic balance between the reproduction of material goods and that of labor. Starting from the two dimensions regarding the degree of labor compensation and that of demand satisfaction, this paper classifies the labor reproduction model into three types: shrinking, expanding and developing. It compares the capitalist distribution according to the value of labor, the communist distribution according to needs, and the multiple distribution modes of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We summarize the internal mechanisms by which the primary distribution mode of socialism with Chinese characteristics promotes the two kinds of production to achieve dynamic equilibrium: the “mechanism to guarantee the expanded reproduction of labor” in the nonpublic sector, the “mechanism of mixed employment and diversified distribution” in the public sector, and the “mechanism of compensation benchmarking” formed in the interaction between the public and nonpublic sectors. The farreaching significance of achieving a dynamic balance between the reproduction of labor and that of material goods is that it provides us with a theoretical solution to issues as regards the relationships between “taking economic development as the central task” and “adopting the peoplecentered philosophy of development”.

An Analysis of the Limitations of Capital in Environmental Pollution Control: From the Perspective of the Three-sector Reproduction Schema Jia Diandian, Liu Wei 2023, 57 (7):  52-59.  Abstract ( )   PDF (6457KB) ( )   Capital is a critical participant in environmental pollution control. Analyzing the role and limitations of capital in environmental pollution control is a necessary prerequisite for regulating and guiding capital to fully play its positive role in improving the environment. The process of environmental pollution control of capital is a production process, and the commodities it provides are “pollution control services”. As a special sector of production materials, environmental pollution control is structurally bound to the general production materials and consumption materials. Only when smooth exchanges in value and in kind are enabled across all the three sectors can the dual goals of economic development and pollution control be achieved simultaneously. However, the limitations of capital will destroy the exchange conditions of the three sectors and lead to insufficient pollution control, which is specifically manifested in the coercion of capital interests over policies, the profitseeking nature of capital, and the serious imbalance between the supply and demand of pollution control caused by economic crises. In order to overcome the limitations of capital in environmental pollution control, we should insist on implementing the pollution control requirements through the environmental inspection led by the central government, rationally guiding capital to participate in pollution control through systematic design, and building an industrial structure of pollution control led by public capital and public institutions.  Related Articles | Metrics

The EU's Energy Policy towards Africa: Latest Developments, Motivations and Implications Kuang Shuxiao, Zhang Rui 2023, 57 (7):  60-70.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8759KB) ( )   The RussiaUkraine conflict has exacerbated the energy crisis facing the European Union (EU), and the strategic value of Africa as an alternative energy partner has become increasingly evident. This article traces the latest developments in the EUs energy policy towards Africa and argues that, with the considerations in four aspects, ie. energy security, market interests, climate leadership and geopolitics, the EU takes the acceleration of energy transition as the main focus and the natural gas trade as a supplement. In the new geopolitical context, the EUs energy policy towards Africa not only affects the energy transition process in both the EU and Africa directly, but also brings great challenges and opportunities to China, which attaches great importance to Africas strategic value.

The Reproduction of Social Memory: A New Perspective on the Ideological Construction in Cyberspace  Gu Jiamei, Zhao Shan 2023, 57 (7):  71-81.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8194KB) ( )   Social memory contains and carries the elements of ideological construction, and ideological security is the bottom line and foundation of the reproduction of social memory. With the iterative renewal of network media and technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, the reproduction of social memory has become a new perspective for analyzing and studying the ideological construction in cyberspace. First, the reproduction of forms of social memory is a new domain to enhance the sense of contemparaneity and attractiveness of cyberspace ideology, but there is a tendency of vulgarization, which leads to the dilution of the attractiveness of cyberspace ideology, so that it is necessary to rely on the transformation of reproduction in terms of forms to highlight the mainstream in cyberspace. Secondly, the reproduction of content of social memory is an another new domain associated with the credibility and leadership of ideological discourse in cyberspace, but there is a tendency of randomization, which affects the credibility of cyberspace ideology, and thus it is necessary to focus on the reproduction of content to consolidate the authority of mainstream discourse in cyberspace. Finally, the reproduction of meaning of social memory is the third new domain for the enhancement of ideological influence and cohesion in cyberspace, but there is a tendency of commercialization, which leads to the disintegration of ideological influence in cyberspace, and it is necessary to promote the transformation of meaning of reproduction in order to enable joint forces with the integration of the mainstream public opinion on the Internet.

Retrieval and Creation of Topoi in Ideological and Political Education Zhan Wei 2023, 57 (7):  82-92.  Abstract ( )   PDF (8637KB) ( )   As aesthetic categories, both the topos and ideological and political education have the consistency of being “beautiful”, and the existing topoi embody in themselves a wide range of topoi in ideological and political education. Topoi in ideological and political education are the product of the explicit and implicit relationships between “things” and “feelings” in ideological and political education, and their formation has unique mechanisms. Topoi in ideological and political education have the practical functions of strengthening an aesthetic sense of ideological and political education, generating an emotion of ideological and political education, catalyzing an identity of ideological and political education and creating an atmosphere of ideological and political education. In the creation of topoi in ideological and political education, it is necessary to stick to the critical principles of creating and constructing topoi, promote the individuals transformation from finiteness to infinity, ensure the connotation of ideological and political education to be concise in the new era, give full play to the shaping role of modern media, and realize the comprehension, internalization and sublimation of topoi in ideological and political education through practice.

On Building Up the History of the People's Republic of China as a Secondary Discipline of the Chinese Communist Party History and Party Building  Chu Zhuwu 2023, 57 (7):  93-103.  Abstract ( )   PDF (7585KB) ( )   The construction of the discipline of the history of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) has encountered problems such as the complicated establishment process and the unclear properties, which have directly affected the highquality development of the discipline. The establishment of the discipline of the Chinese Communist Party history and Party building has opened up possibilities for accelerating the construction of discipline of the history of the PRC. The establishment of the history of the PRC as a secondary discipline of the Chinese Communist Party history and Party building is a complementary and mutually beneficial event that enables mutual success for both disciplines. The discipline of the Chinese Communist Party history and Party building provides fundamental ideological and methodological guidance and important academic support for the development of the discipline of the history of the PRC, while the discipline of the history of the PRC better consolidates the historical foundation and research field for the development of the discipline of the Chinese Communist Party history and Party building. Standing at a new historical starting point of the new era and new journey, to build up the history of the PRC as a secondary discipline of the Chinese Communist Party history and Party building, we should insist on taking the primary discipline of the Chinese Communist Party history and Party building as the guidance, and making efforts in two major directions, ie. the research content and academic establishment.

The Relationship between Subjective and Objective Income Inequality and Democratic Satisfaction: An Empirical Study Based on 45 Countries Cheng Tongshun, Xiao Weilin, Chang Guangyao 2023, 57 (7):  104-120.  Abstract ( )   PDF (13482KB) ( )   his paper investigates the relationship between income inequality and democratic satisfaction in 45 countries and its effect mechanisms, and finds that they are negatively correlated. Perception of income inequality is more effective in explaining individual support for democracy, while objective income inequality is more significantly correlated with democratic satisfaction at the national level. Perception of income inequality affects democratic satisfaction by weakening peoples political participation. Both subjective and objective income inequality will undermine the democratic satisfaction in Western mature democracies, which provides empirical support for the recent theory of “democratic deconsolidation”.
