Promote the All-round Development of China's Human Right Cause in the New Era——Summary of the Symposium on “Deeply Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and Adhering to the Chinese Path of Human Rights Development”

On November 8, 2022, the symposium on “Deeply Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the 20thCPC National Congress and Adhering to the Chinese Path of Human Rights Development” was held by the China Society for Human Rights Studies in Beijing. Focusing on “the leadership of the CPC and human rights development”, “adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times and human rights theories in contemporary China”, “the Chinese path to modernization and the new form of human rights civilization”, “Chinese human rights solutions and global human rights governance”, “making a better China’s story of advancing human rights and constructing human rights discourse system”, and other topics, the participants reached broad consensus after discussion, and the symposium achieved fruitful results.

The Historical Position and Value Dimensions of Human Rights Civilization

Human beings are the mainstay and the ultimate goal of civilization.The history of human civilization is a continuous struggle to realize the respect,liberation,protection,and development of humanity.Human rights are an achievement of humanity and a symbol of progress,and the human rights civilization is an important component of human civilization.Understanding and interpreting human rights from the perspective of human rights civilization means that human rights are not only a concept or an idea but also a grand historical and long-term social practice.Up to now,the development of human rights civilization has roughly experienced four awakening eras:initialization,revolution,popularization,and globalization.In terms of its value dimensions,it has the characteristics of progressiveness,diversity,commonality,inclusiveness,indivisibility,openness,and so on.The historical position of human rights civilization and the development of its value dimensions have shown to the world that human rights are the common wealth of humanity,and human rights belong to all mankind;human rights are historical,concrete,and developmental;the concept of human rights is constantly evolving,and its connotations and categories are constantly expanding;achieving the free and well-rounded development of every person is the highest value realm of human rights civilization.The Chinese modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength and opens up new horizons for human rights civilization.The new pattern of human rights civilization to be created by Chinese modernization not only possesses the common characteristics of human rights civilization but also enjoys Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions,enriching and developing the diversity of human rights civilization for all mankind.

Rationale and Pathway for New Industrialization in the Context of Chinese Modernization

The concepts of modernization and industrialization have different connotations that are specific to their historical backgrounds,and their theoretical innovation and development may benefit from China’s experiences.Industrialization is the cornerstone of modernization,and holds the key to its success.China’s experiences in blazing a new trail of industrialization are challenging the traditional Western theory of industrialization and deepening the connotations of Chinese modernization.New industrialization is a key entry point for steering China’s modernization drive and theoretical innovations.This paper offers an overview of the theory of Chinese modernization and its evolving trend along China’s socialist industrialization path,as well as the rationale and pathway for new industrialization in the context of Chinese modernization.As our findings suggest,the new industrialization concept has taken hold in every key aspect of Chinese modernization.When combined with the theory of Chinese modernization,the theoretical implications of new industrialization play a crucial role in propelling Chinese modernization forward along a new journey in the new era.

New Industrialization: Characteristics, System Development and Implementation Pathway

New industrialization in China, different from its past economic development pattern or patterns in developed nations, is the country’s theoretical innovation based on the positive and negative experiences of industrialization at home and worldwide. New industrialization has various novel characteristics, including new sources of efficiency, new factors of production, new organizational forms, and new constraints. In addition, it has certain particularities arising from modernization with Chinese characteristics. This article summarizes the characteristics of new industrialization from the perspectives of people-centered approach, quality-first concept, independent innovation, green low-carbon economics, digital-real integration, and open circulation. There are four systems for promoting new industrialization: A self-sustained scientific and technological system, a high-end advanced manufacturing system, a green low-carbon circular system, and a division of labor system with domestic and international circulation. The Chinese new industrialization proposes the pathway and policy measures considering the new global situation and the requirements of new goals of strengthening organization and leadership, reducing factor cost, accelerating independent technological innovation, smoothing domestic and international circulation, and optimizing competition environment.

On the Beginning and Transformation of Modern Chinese Historiography

After the First Opium War (1840-1842) there were increased academic interests in studying the history and geography of China’s northwestern borderlands,introducing foreign history and geography and writing the modern history of China.Such interests,however,were no more than reflections of the times in history studies and could hardly improve the whole picture of historiography.At the turn of the 20th century,Liang Qichao published “The Introduction to Chinese History” and “The New Historiography”,which marked the emergence of a new trend of thought in historiography and should be deemed the beginning of modern Chinese historiography.Soon after,the “national quintessence school”(guocui xuepai) called for preserving the quintessence of Chinese culture and attempted to bridge Chinese and Western scholarship.Then the “Reorganization of National Heritage”(zhengli guogu) Movement came,urging to re-arrange traditional scholarship.Hu Shih (1891-1962) explicitly put forward the goal of “compiling a history of Chinese culture,” helped dissolve the boundary between modern and traditional historiography and indicated the approach to the transformation from ancient to modern historiography from a perspective of discipline classifications.This “new trend” of Chinese historiography,centering on new materials,new methods and new issues specified the research path for the early stage of modern Chinese historiography.

Promoting Chinese Modernization of the Rule of Law and a New Form of Human Advancement of the Rule of Law-Interpretation of the Essence of the Rule of Law of the Report to the 20th National Congress of Communist Party of China

One of the significant theoretical contributions of the Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC)is a well-conceived systematic Chinese modernization theory,which is developed based on the profound summarization of the successful experience of Chinese modernization,and on the modernization theories of China and other countries.Chinese modernization of the rule of law,a section of the lawbased Chinese modernization,focuses on the subject of rule of law.Breaking the myth of Western centralism,it creates a new model of modernization of the rule of law and produces a revolutionary effect on the modernization of the rule of law modernization in the world.It presents distinctive Chinese features and Chinese vision.Led by the CPC,it is an independent exploration,people-centered,organized,and planned,and has lofty value goals.Driven by modern science and technology forworld peace and development,the principal task of Chinese modernization of the rule of law is to create a system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics and a new form of human advancement of the rule of law.Its great mission is to build China into a modern socialist country in all respects under the rule of law,ensuring that the rule of law runs through all areas and aspects of national governance and construction,so that building China into a great modern socialist country with the high-quality rule of law can be guaranteed.

新质生产力:中国式现代化的新动能与新路径

纵观西方现代化和中国式现代化的历史进程,生产力的持续发展是现代化的共同特征。人类历史上每一次生产力的重大跃升都以一系列开创性的科学发现和技术突破为先导,因而科技创新是社会生产力发展的关键因素。随着新一轮科技革命和产业变革的孕育兴起,新质生产力将取代传统生产力,成为推动中国式现代化的重要力量。新质生产力是以科技创新为主导,实现关键性、颠覆性技术突破的生产力,本质上是社会生产力的一次重大跃升。发展新质生产力是推动高质量发展的内在要求和重要着力点,亦是中国式现代化的必然选择。加快形成新质生产力以推进中国式现代化,应在宏观层面坚持市场与政府有机结合,使二者协力推动科技创新;应在中观层面培育战略性新兴产业和未来产业,增强发展新动能;应在微观层面坚持“两个毫不动摇”,激发各类创新主体活力。

大国竞争背景下新质生产力形成的理论逻辑与实现路径

新质生产力是习近平总书记基于大国竞争背景下我国发展阶段、发展环境、发展条件变化,作出的具有根本性、全局性、长远性的重大战略判断。在新一代信息技术加速突破应用、先进制造技术加速产业转型的新发展阶段,形成新质生产力既是构建新发展格局、推动高质量发展的必然要求,也是我国建设现代化经济体系的关键动能,关系我国在未来发展和国际竞争中赢得战略主动。新质生产力的内涵是以引领国际经济体系变革、重塑现代化产业体系、提升企业核心竞争力为目的,从传统生产力向新质生产力的演化升级应该包含国际竞争、国家优势和企业发展三个层面整个生产范式的转变。文章以马克思主义政治经济学、习近平经济思想、习近平生态文明思想为理论支撑,提出“新质生产力”的理论构建包括三个维度:一是微观载体——打造世界一流企业;二是中观治理——提升国际竞争优势;三是宏观发展——构建人类命运共同体。文章将新质生产力形成的理论逻辑和实践路径融入中国当前的发展战略中,从转变企业发展范式、重塑现代化产业体系和建设新的全球治理体系三个方面提出形成新质生产力的改革路径,三条路径相辅相成、协同发力,共同为新质生产力的形成注入活力,使得生产力发展更好地服务于中国高质量发展的战略定位。

The Evolution Course,Profound Connotation,and Advancing Path of Chinese Modernization

The Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC)decides to“comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization”as a central task,listing nine essential requirements for Chinese modernization with the creation of a new form of human civilization as its goal.This paper analyzes the evolution of Chinese modernization led by the CPC and the pursuit of civilization,and reveals the inner connection and unity between Chinese modernization and the new form of human civilization.It is helpful to deeply understand the historical logic,realistic logic,and future logic of Chinese modernization,enabling better study and implementation of the spirit of the Report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC.Also,this paper boosts confidence in the path,theory,system,culture,and history of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

新质生产力的内涵特征、内在逻辑和实现途径——推进中国式现代化的新动能

新质生产力是生产力在信息化、智能化社会中,随着科技创新的提质增速和高端产业的勃兴融合呈现的高级形态,主要包含“高素质”劳动者、“新介质”劳动资料和“新料质”劳动对象三大要素。生产力的发展是实现中国式现代化的根本前提,作为先进的生产力,新质生产力同中国式现代化全体人民共同富裕的目标指向、协调发展的根本要求、和平发展的实现路径具有高度适配性,是推进中国式现代化的新动能。为使新质生产力真正增益于中国式现代化,要以新质生产力服务高质量发展,为中国式现代化奠定坚实的物质基础;要推进原始创新、集成创新、开放创新,以科技创新涵养新质生产力;要壮大战略性新兴产业、积极培育未来产业,推动新质生产力茁壮成长;要塑造劳动者的科学思维、增强劳动者的创新能力、培育劳动者的协作精神,确保新质生产力竞相迸发与充分涌流。

新质生产力发展水平、区域差异与提升路径

2023年9月,习近平总书记在黑龙江省考察调研期间强调了“新质生产力”这一重要概念,新质生产力是创新起主导作用,摆脱传统经济增长方式、生产力发展路径,具有高科技、高效能、高质量特征,符合新发展理念的先进生产力质态。新质生产力的提出具有全新的理论内涵和丰富的现实价值,结合习近平总书记的相关重要论述和当前中国经济发展事实,文章认为新质生产力是一个至少涵盖科技、绿色和数字三大方面的集成体,并基于科技生产力、绿色生产力和数字生产力3个一级指标构建了新质生产力的综合评价体系。文章采用改进的熵权-TOPSIS方法测度了2012—2021年我国30个省级区域的新质生产力水平,测度结果表明,我国新质生产力水平由2012年的0.302 6上升到2021年的0.874 7,年均增速为21%,对应的,科技生产力、绿色生产力和数字生产力的水平也稳步上升。研究发现,针对不同区域,东部地区新质生产力水平不仅增速最快,总量也高于中西部地区,中部地区新质生产力水平高于西部地区,但增速低于西部地区;针对具体省份,新质生产力形成了广东省和江苏省“双雁领航”断层式发展格局,不同省份之间的差距极大,反映了中国新质生产力水平的区域异质性。进一步研究,Kernel密度估计和Markov链分析结果表明,一方面我国省际新质生产力水平的差距有逐渐拉大趋势,但这一趋势主要存在于个别新质生产力发达和落后的省份之间,大部分中间省份差异不明显,且新质生产力发展存在俱乐部趋同现象,新质生产力发达省份之间的趋同现象更为明显;另一方面,新质生产力发展具有明显的空间外溢效应,在与邻近省份的新质生产力水平存在差异的情况下,本省的新质生产力将会受到邻近省份的影响。新质生产力水平的基尼系数计算及其分解结果表明,区域间差异是全国新质生产力发展不平衡的主要原因,也就是说当下导致新质生产力水平差异的主要原因是地区间的发展不平衡。针对上述问题,提升新质生产力的发展路径应该着重从统筹区域联动合作促进平衡发展,加大对新质生产力发展的引导力度,在新质生产力构成的三大指标上进行新部署等方面展开。

以新质生产力赋能中国式现代化的重点与任务

发展新质生产力是中国式现代化的主要推动力,以新质生产力赋能中国式现代化是适应我国社会主要矛盾变化背景下推动中国式现代化的新要求,是打造中国式现代化质量版的客观要求,是实现中国式现代化目标转型的必然要求。以新质生产力赋能中国式现代化的战略重点在于构建现代经济体系、培育现代化新动能、提高供给体系质量。以新质生产力赋能中国式现代化新发展的战略任务是形成以新质生产力赋能中国式现代化的内生驱动力,推动供给侧的产业结构升级,以新质生产力形成中国式现代化新优势;推动动力转换,形成中国式现代化新动力;实现数字经济赋能中国式现代化,以数字新质生产力打造中国式现代化的升级版;以新质生产力推动新型工业化,形成新型工业化的新优势。

高等教育强国建设的中国道路

高等教育强国建设是科技强国建设的基础性保障,是人才强国建设的关键性支撑,对中国式现代化建设具有突出的战略意义。推进高等教育强国高质量建设需要厘清中国式现代化引领高等教育强国建设的逻辑谱系,探明符合中国国情与现代化共同特征的强国建设路径;梳理高等教育强国建设的发展机理,增强高等教育强国建设的使命感和紧迫感;深化高等教育改革,回应新时代高等教育强国建设对新质生产力的迫切需要;明晰高水平科技自立自强支撑高等教育强国建设的核心要义,实现科技创新层级与能级的双跃升;以“两个大局”的时代理念作为高等教育高质量发展的时空坐标,厘清高等教育强国建设的行动逻辑。此外,在高等教育强国建设的关键阶段,我国必须以教育评价改革为抓手,破除制约高等教育强国建设的障碍,进而推动高等教育体系实现结构性变革、系统性重塑。

新质生产力推进中国式现代化的战略重点、任务与路径

在历史唯物主义的框架下,生产力是人类社会现代化的重要动力。新质生产力作为新科技革命背景下的先进生产力,以创新驱动作为核心,代表着传统生产力发生了重大跃迁,能够为中国式现代化提供新的生产力基础要素、新的生产模式以及新的发展动能。新质生产力推进中国式现代化的战略重点是以新质生产力推动共同富裕、绿色发展以及开放发展的中国式现代化。在这个过程中,新质生产力推进中国式现代化的战略任务是建设现代化产业体系、发展新型工业化、推进经济高质量发展。新质生产力推进中国式现代化的战略路径是以新质生产力实现包括人口规模巨大的现代化、全体人民共同富裕的现代化、物质文明和精神文明相协调的现代化、人与自然和谐共生的现代化、走和平发展道路的现代化在内的中国式现代化。

如何辨识中国式现代化新征程上的战略新机遇

当前国际上出现一些“看淡中国发展前景”“唱衰中国经济”的论调,这反映了一些西方国家对世界发展大势和中国发展优势缺乏准确认知,无法辨识中国式现代化新征程上的战略新机遇。事实上,从历史维度看,国际体系转型蕴含着双重战略机遇。一是国际秩序整体上从殖民秩序、霸权秩序不断向更加公正合理的国际新秩序转型;二是中国式现代化顺应了世界多极化、经济全球化、发展模式多样化、国际关系民主化的潮流,体现了中国发展的历史主动性和不断上升的塑造能力。从空间维度看,随着技术和产业的深刻变革,中国在推动开放型经济发展过程中蕴含着重要的战略机遇,尤其是超大规模市场和生产性权力结构所形成的市场空间整合效应,铁路物流和数字贸易的发展,数字化转型和绿色化产业变革等,都为中国带来了战略新机遇。从关系维度看,中国以人类命运共同体理念为引领,超越西方国际关系理论的传统逻辑,推动构建新型国际关系范式,促进全球治理机制改革创新,合力应对全球性挑战,为大国关系总体稳定及巩固和拓展中国的全球伙伴关系提供了战略新机遇。
