A Thorough Study on the Central  Mission of Building a Great Country and Moving toward National Rejuvenation on All Fronts through Chinese Modernization

Chen Li

  A vital lesson gleaned from the Party’s leadership in advancing reform and opening up is the strategic alignment of reform plans with the Party’s central mission. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC) has thoughtfully charted an overall roadmap for further deepening reform comprehensively， centered on the grand task of building a great county and moving toward national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization on this new journey in the New Era. This document stands as a foundational charter， a beacon guiding the next phase of profound reform. To truly grasp the gravity of the central mission established at the 20th CPC National Congress-namely, to further deepening reform comprehensively， centered on the grand task of building a great county and moving toward national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization-is of paramount importance for understanding and faithfully carrying out the guiding principles of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. This mission must be comprehended from various dimensions： the deep theoretical wellspring of Marxism， the invaluable lessons drawn from the Party and the people’s cause， and the new developmental imperatives born of the unique historical conditions of this New Era. Only by understanding these facets can we, with greater resolve and clarity of purpose, push forward the endeavor of building a great county and moving toward national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization.

An Investigation into the Systematization of Xi Jinping’s Cultural Thinking

Tao Wenzhao

  Systematization is both a fundamental requirement and a key method for theoretical innovation. Explicitly articulating Xi Jinping’s cultural thinking represents a landmark development in the systematization of the Party’s innovative theories in the New Era, further enriching and expanding Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the Marxism of contemporaryChinaand in the 21st century. Since the 18th CPC National Congress， the scope of Xi Jinping’s cultural thinking has continually evolved， from getting to the heart of issues to building on past successes and making innovations, and from the nine publicity principles to the seven focuses on communication and culture. Xi Jinping’s cultural thinking encompasses a comprehensive array of new ideas， perspectives， and judgments on leadership， objectives， tasks， fundamental approaches, core contents， and scientific methodologies for cultural development in the New Era. It is a well-founded and well-structured theory， suitable for effective implementation. To truly appreciate the profound significance of Xi Jinping’s cultural thinking, one must place it within a broader context-understanding it as part of his broader Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era， as an extension of Marxist cultural theory, and as a response to the practical challenges of cultural development in the New Era.

The Ideals and Practical Vision of Developing a Great Socialist Culture 

in China in the New Era

Duan Yan

  The strategic objective of developing a great socialist culture in the New Era marks a profound recognition of the historical mission to elevate social civilization, enhance public cultural services， and refine the modern cultural industry. This vision encapsulates a century of the CPC’s cultural development experience and highlights the seamless integration of Chinese civilizational consciousness with the cultural development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Developing a great socialist culture in the New Era is of profound significance-it draws from the rich gene pool of Chinese traditional culture, fortifies the cultural foundation for Chinese modernization， and strengthens cultural subjectivity, self-confidence， and self-improvement. This endeavor enriches the cultural lives of the people， promotes the well-rounded development of individuals, bolsters the country’s cultural soft power， and expands the global influence of Chinese culture. At this pivotal historical juncture, developing a great socialist culture requires unshakable cultural confidence and a holistic understanding of Chinese civilization. It also demands a commitment to openness and inclusivity， fostering mutual progress with global civilizations， while building on past successes and making innovations， deepening our understanding of the laws governing socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics.

China’s Role in Shaping and Leading the Transformation of Global Governance amidst Epochal Changes Unseen in a Century

Wu Zhicheng & Liu Peidong

  The world faces profound changes of a kind unseen in a century， and these changes serve as the backdrop for the ongoing transformation of the global governance system. In turn, the reform of this system has become a key factor accelerating and shaping these global changes， creating a dynamic interplay between the two. The current world order is marked by deepening imbalances， widening deficits, diminishing effectiveness， and growing fractures in global governance. Yet， these very challenges have also sparked a convergence of thought and galvanized a collective force for change and reform. In response to this epochal upheaval， advancing global governance reform must begin with the forging of consensus， with structural optimization as the central pillar. The principles of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration should guide the process， while the enhancement of institutional efficacy and the adaptation of inclusive values should remain the focal points. As both a key participant and a driving force in this transformative era,Chinamust steadfastly uphold its vision of building a human community with a shared future. It must embrace true multilateralism while strengthening its own core capabilities, enhancing its say in the formulation of global rules, and amplifying the reach and resonance of Chinese values. Through tangible actions,Chinawill exemplify the responsibility and leadership expected of a major country.

The Modern Economic System and the Synthesis of Chinese Modernization

Gu Hailiang

  When Xi Jinping introduced the concept of a modern economic system at the 19th CPC National Congress， he embarked on a comprehensive and synergistic exploration of its essence， characteristics， and structural integration. A scientific analysis of the evolution of Chinese modernization since the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee allows for a deeper comprehension of the new characteristics and directions of the modern economic system， particularly its “systematic, holistic， and synergistic” nature. This reveals the system’s integral role in comprehensive planning and strategic coordination, emphasizing its seamless integration in terms of overall design， systematic structure, and efficient collaboration. As a “new concept, new category, and new formulation” within Xi Jinping’s economic thinking, the modern economic system stands as a landmark achievement in the development of China’s independent knowledge system in economics. It has made innovative contributions to the development of this independent system.

Accelerating the Growth of New Quality Productive Forces: A Firm Advancement of the “Three Doubles” Initiative

Zhang Zhanbin & Wang Rui

  The “Three Doubles” initiative envisions the doubling， by 2035， of China’s per capita disposable income， the size of its middle-income group, and the number of market entities. The path to realizing this ambitious goal has been illuminated by a commitment to further deepening reform comprehensively， combining both problem-solving and goal-oriented approaches. While adhering to the overarching objectives of comprehensive reform, it is crucial to address the practical challenges that emerge in the course of Chinese modernization. The dialectical relationship between accelerating the development of new-quality productive forces and implementing the “Three Doubles” is a dynamic one, characterized by the interplay between theoretical insights and practical action. To solidly advance the “Three Doubles，” it is essential to remain focused on the fundamental and principal contradictions of society. The principle of “people first” must be upheld, with a singular focus on meeting the people’s aspirations for a better life， strengthening their developmental capacities, and making solid progress in promoting common prosperity. In drawing from the core principles of new-quality productive forces， the impetus for advancing the “Three Doubles” should be sourced from new technologies， emerging industries， and innovative productive factors. The optimization of laborers, means of labor， and objects of labor-along with their efficient integration-should be key priorities. Furthermore， a significant increase in total factor productivity must be pursued. Strategic dialectics should guide decision-making， ensuring a harmonious balance between the whole and its parts, past successes and innovations, and external introduction and self-reliance.

Xi Jinping’s Pioneering Statements on New Quality Productive Forces

Ding Renzhong & Li Ximing

  High-quality development calls for a new theory of productive forces, and Xi Jinping’s discourse on new-quality productive forces stands as a groundbreaking contribution to Marxist theories of productivity. His insights have enriched the conceptual framework of productive forces， addressing the purpose of productivity development in China’s New Era. Xi’s elaboration on the composition of productive factors and their modes of combination integrates modern economic characteristics into Marx’s original discourse, infusing it with contemporary relevance. In terms of the role of science and technology in productivity development， Xi emphasizes their “directness，” “internalization，” and “integration” with economic growth. Regarding the dialectical relationship between productivity and the natural environment， he charts a path for productivity growth that aligns with the demands of ecological civilization. In the realm of production relations， Xi has developed institutional mechanisms-including the socialist market economy， the new system of leveraging nationwide strengths， and the income distribution system-that are aligned with the development of new-quality productive forces. He has also introduced theoretical innovations regarding ownership structures， particularly in response to the technological revolution. This profound theoretical innovation not only enriches Marxist theories of productivity but also provides forward-looking guidance forChina’s pursuit of high-quality economic development.
