  Ownership is a core issue in Marxist economic theory, and the common development of various ownership economies represents a concrete manifestation of Sinicization of Marxist ownership theory. Since the reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China has continuously deepened its understanding of Marxist theories on ownership, proposed a series of new perspectives, judgments, and measures to support the common development of various ownership economies, and created China’s globally remarkable economic miracle. In the new era and on the new journey to promote high quality development and advance Chinese modernization, it is essential to uphold and implement the “two unswervinglys” and create an institutional and policy environment conducive to the complementary advantages and common development of various ownership economies.

  WANG Ping, SHI Yawei

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2024, 212(6): 39-52. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2024.06.039

  Examining the intrinsic mechanism by which the united front supports Chinese modernization reveals an objective chain of empowerment logic that goes from “whole-process people’s democracy to the united front, and ultimately to Chinese modernization”. First, governance is the cornerstone of modern social development, and advancing Chinese modernization is inseparable from the five major governance approaches of “selecting capable and virtuous officials”, “safeguarding the interests of the people”, “making wise plans and decisions”, “governing effectively and taking action”, and “correcting deviations in an orderly manner”. Next, the united front serves as a powerful tool for uniting people and gathering strength, playing a significant role in empowering Chinese modernization. By utilizing the “five questions” mechanism, which includes seeking wisdom from the people, understanding their needs, asking for strategies from them, consulting with them on governance, and assessing governance efficiency with them, it empowers each of the five major governance approaches in the field of the united front to advance Chinese modernization. Finally, to further utilize the “five questions” mechanism effectively, the united front must also accumulate energy or be empowered. The whole-process people’s democracy empowers the “five questions” mechanism of the united front in sequence by practicing the “five democracies” work path in the field of the united front, which includes democratic elections, democratic consultations, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic supervision.

  The Chinese national community constitutes a multifaceted national entity encompassing politics, economy, culture, society, and geography. In the context of comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization, the promotion of formation of the Chinese national community has a clear civilization dimension. The civilization dimension of formation of the Chinese national community is to integrate and focus on the consciousness of the Chinese national community in the process of building a modern Chinese civilization and creating a new form of human civilization. It involves a comprehensive and collaborative effort across various fields to strengthen the consciousness of the Chinese national community, aiming to build the Chinese national community into an ethnic entity that leads the new form of human civilization. In terms of political civilization, efforts should be made to advance the construction of a new type of political order that unifies the country, thereby laying the political foundation for the unity of the Chinese national community. In terms of material civilization, the practice of Chinese modernization must be promoted, steadily advancing towards common prosperity for all members of the Chinese national community. In terms of spiritual civilization, efforts should be made to promote the construction of modern culture centered on the modernization of individuals, creating new cultural carriers for the Chinese national community. In terms of social civilization, it is necessary to enhance the rationalization of social relations and behaviors among all ethnic groups, establish a modern social norm system, and form a system of behavioral norms that are collectively adhered to by the Chinese nation. In terms of ecological civilization, the focus should be on safeguarding the territorial space that sustain the survival and development of the nation, improving the ecological space for the prosperity of the nation, and ensuring the long-term sustainable development of the entire nation. In terms of symbolic civilization, efforts should be made to advance the construction of the theoretical discourse system for the Chinese national community, strengthen the construction, promotion, and protection of specific symbols of the Chinese national community, and present a beautiful image of the Chinese national community to the world.

  YIN Xiaohu

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2024, 212(6): 81-95. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2024.06.081

  The capacity building of non-CPC (Communist Party of China) parties is a fundamental requirement for the development and improvement of the new type of political party system, as well as an important aspect of the self-construction of these parties in the new era. To correctly understand and grasp the connotation of capacity building of non-CPC parties, it is essential to start by fully understanding and mastering its internal connections and specific requirements. The system composition of the capacity building of non-CPC parties in the new era is determined by the nature and connotation of this capacity building itself. It represents a theoretical and systematic articulation of the nature and connotation of capacity building for non-CPC parties, which holds significant theoretical importance for in-depth research and discussion on this topic. The goals and pathways for capacity building of non-CPC parties focus on how to further enhance the capabilities of these parties through their own capacity development. This not only demonstrates the capacity building of non-CPC parties but also represents the questions that need to be answered and resolved in the self-construction of non-CPC parties in the new era.

  Enhancing National Identity of Ethnic Minority Groups Through Social Security Satisfaction: An Empirical Analysis from the Perspective of Typological Subdivision

  LI Yanxia, LENG Xueyan

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2024, 212(6): 96-113. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2024.06.096

  This paper, aiming to move beyond a holistic understanding of the social security system and national identity, constructing an analytical framework based on type subdivision of national identity and social security systems, conducts an empirical analysis using data from the “2021 China Social Survey” (CSS2021). The findings indicate that the social security satisfaction among contemporary ethnic minority groups in China has a supportive and promoting effect on their rational endorsement of national identity, but does not enhance their emotional attachment to it. The satisfaction of ethnic minority groups with “inclusive social security” has a supportive effect on their national identity, but the satisfaction of ethnic minorities with “relief social security” has no impact on their national identity. These empirical analysis results, to a certain extent, respond to the theoretical debates in the academic community regarding the relationship between social security satisfaction among ethnic minority groups and national identity, thus providing a theoretical reference for targeted implementation of social security policies aimed at ethnic minorities and supporting the cultivation of a sense of national community for the Chinese nation.

  The Willingness of Overseas Talents to Return in the New Era and Its Implications for Talent Policies of Shanghai

  XING Haiyan, ZHANG Yingying

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2024, 212(6): 114-131. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2024.06.114

  As an important component of China’s high-quality talent pool, returned overseas talents possess advanced global expertise in technology, management, and a broad international perspective. They play a crucial role in enhancing independent innovation capabilities and developing high-tech industries. Additionally, they are an indispensable strategic resource in the process of socialist modernization. However, in recent years, China has faced economic sanctions and technological blockades from the West, which have hindered the development of some high-end and sophisticated industries. In this context, attracting more overseas talents to return, and fully leverage their intellectual advantages to support the implementation of national strategy of reinvigorating China through talents in the new era, thereby realizing China’s international talent dividend, is a crucial issue of immediate concern. Taking the returned overseas talents in Shanghai as a case study, this paper, adopting a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research, with a particular focus on the application of digital ethnography, examines the primary factors influencing the decision-making process of overseas talents returning to China, from both macro and micro perspectives, considering multiple dimensions. It also assesses the current implementation status of the policies in Shanghai for attracting returned overseas talents and further explores innovative pathways for building Shanghai into a talent hub. The findings aim to provide experience and evidence for China’s construction of major global talent centers and innovation highlands.

  Based on the materials collected in recent years, this paper recounts the basic trajectory of activities of the Shanghai Zhi Gong Hall a century ago during its transformation from the hall into a political party, thereby compensating for the previous shortcomings in the study of the history of the establishment of the Zhi Gong Party, which has often been biased towards North America (Huang Sande) and Hong Kong (Chen Jiongming). Based on these findings, it argues that the Shanghai Zhi Gong Hall was one of the “three major cradles” in the history of the founding of the Zhi Gong Party, alongside North America and Hong Kong.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, youth, as a vital force in the integrated development across the Taiwan Strait, have played an increasingly important role in the development of relations on both sides. A series of favorable policies for Taiwan issued by the Chinese mainland have become an important driving force in guiding and promoting the integrated development of youth on both sides. The widespread use of new media in the practice of youth integration across the Taiwan Strait has also emerged as new characteristics, creating new channels for interaction and collaboration. Currently, the integration of youth in areas such as education, community governance, entrepreneurship and employment, as well as folk customs and culture across the Taiwan Strait, has become an important model for the integrated development of youth on both sides, which has profoundly shaped the direction of youth integration and development on both sides. On this basis, this paper explores the space, problems, and corresponding measures for fostering integrated development among youth across the Taiwan Strait, in order to achieve stability and continuity in the integrated development of youth on both sides, laying a beneficial foundation for strengthening national identity and promoting unification.
