Historical Contribution of Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,especially after reform and opening up,the Communist Party of China has continuously advanced the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist political economy.Through the great practice of economic construction with Chinese characteristics,a socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics has been formed.As the latest theoretical achievement of Marxist political economy in contemporary China and the 21st-century world,Xi Jinping's economic thought deeply reflects the Communist Party of China's new understanding of the laws of economic development.With more pronounced subjectivity,originality,completeness,and theoretical richness,it not only provides a scientific guide for China's high-quality economic development and the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country but also propels the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics to a new stage,contributing Chinese wisdom to the innovative development of Marxist political economy.

Historical Contributions and Innovative Development of China's Inclusive Culture

Inclusive culture is a dynamic pattern of cultural integration and innovative development formed in the interactions between man and nature, man and society, and man and others. Chinese culture is among the sources of inclusive culture. Being inheritable, open, assimilative, innovative and self–driven, this inclusive culture significantly contributes to China's ideological evolution, ethnic integration, religious development, economic openness, literature and art prosperity, as well as political wisdom in building a community with a shared future for mankind. Inclusiveness is key to the lasting and sustainable development of traditional Chinese culture. During China's construction of a great modern socialist country, the CPC's leadership over cultural innovation and development must be strengthened; a strong cultural confidence must always be maintained; the prosperity of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics must be further enhanced; the sustainable and integrated development of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics must be promoted; people's need for an enriched cultural life must be satisfied; and more efforts must be made to build a community with a shared future for mankind. Only in this way can the light of China's inclusive culture illuminate the future of globalization.

Breakthroughs on Fundamental Issues of Socialist Political Economy in China's Economic Reform

How to effectively integrate the basic economic system of the primary stage of socialism in which public ownership is the dominant and diverse economic sectors develop side by side with a resource allocation model in which the market plays a decisive role is a fundamental issue in building a socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics.Western bourgeois economics and the traditional understanding of Marxist classical writers reject the possibility of such integration.In the transitional countries of Central and Eastern Europe,the practice and theoretical exploration of combining the two ended by abandoning public ownership.The fundamental feature of socialist economic reform practice with Chinese characteristics is to uphold their organic unity.This approach has already achieved great progress but at the same time is confronting a series of new problems.

Party Politics in Socialist Countries:One Hundred Years of Exploration

Over the long history of political civilization,the 100 years of the party politics of socialist countries has emerged as a new form of politics.Exploration of the last 100 years of the party politics of socialist countries deals with the self-governance and national governance of Marxist ruling parties.It reflects intraparty relationships,interparty relationships,relationships between party and government and relationships between party and society,as well as foreign relations,and spans three historical periods,comprising the first establishment of party politics in Soviet Russia;the adoption of party rule in other countries,with concomitant setbacks;and the achievement by China,Vietnam and other countries of party political innovation and development.A review of the experience of the past hundred years shows that success in making party politics the basic system in socialist countries and in tapping its full potential is attributable to the efforts made by Marxist ruling parties to undertake fruitful theoretical reflection and grasp values,adhere to the truth and correct mistakes on the basis of exceptional strategic confidence and policy commitment,while constantly opening up new stages of theoretical understanding and practical development.The party politics of socialist countries in the 21 st century drives their modernization andcultivates and improves their practice.The union of the two in the magnificent historical process of the sustainable development of socialist institutional civilization will have major and far-reaching significance for building a brighter future for humanity.
