  Adhering to the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with fine traditional Chinese culture is the fundamental approach to promoting the sinicization and modernization of Marxism. The “two integrates” are inherently an inseparable unified whole. The integration of Marxism with China’s specific realities necessarily requires cultural mediation as its essential pathway. The proposition of the “second integrate” highlights the significance of cultural power. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always attached great importance to drawing wisdom and nourishment from fine traditional Chinese culture. The CPC is a faithful inheritor and promoter of this culture and has achieved its creative transformation and innovative development. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to further seek spiritual strength from the historical culture of the Chinese nation. Xi Jinping Thought on Culture serves as the ideological guide for a new leap in Chinese civilization on this new journey. The “two integrates” provide the theoretical support for this leap forward. The Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPC on Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively to Advance Chinese Modernization (hereinafter referred to as the Resolution), which was deliberated and adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, focuses on promoting modernization that coordinates material and spiritual civilizations. It makes special arrangements for cultural development, providing comprehensive guidance and fundamental principles for the construction of a culturally strong nation. Further comprehensively deepening the reform of cultural systems and mechanisms, in accordance with the reform arrangements proposed in the Resolution, serves as the institutional guarantee for effectively leveraging the “two integrates”, the ultimate key to our success

  Intelligent Revolution and Governance Transformation: Theoretical Framework and Institutional Innovation of Generative AI-Empowered Public Decision-Making

  HE Jinghua

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2025, 215(3): 16-49. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2025.03.016

  In the context of the accelerating evolution of digital-intelligent civilization, the traditional paradigm of public decision-making is undergoing systematic deconstruction and reconstruction. The rapid advancement of generative AI has not only reshaped the knowledge production mechanisms underpinning government decision-making but also driven the public governance system to transition from a bureaucratic model to an intelligent paradigm. Generative AI transcends the constraints of “bounded rationality” inherent in traditional decision-making through the dual mechanisms of knowledge emergence and value alignment, thereby establishing a dynamically evolving framework for policy cognition. Research indicates that the decision-making process, undergoing intelligent transformation through the stages of data-driven analysis, algorithmic collaboration, and human-machine verification, compresses the policy response cycle from traditional monthly intervals to real-time responsiveness. This study reveals that institutional innovation is characterized by a technology-governance symbiosis, which facilitates adaptive evolution in human-machine collaboration through flexible regulatory mechanisms and embedded ethical frameworks. It proposes a new paradigm of responsible intelligent decision-making, which synergistically enhances decision-making efficacy, democratic values, and risk control. This framework not only provides a theoretical solution to the governance paradox of technological empowerment versus value disorientation but also, through China’s practice in institutional and technological co-innovation, contributes a novel paradigm of intelligent governance to global digital governance.

  Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, during the 20th group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that it is imperative to “comprehensively advance artificial intelligence (AI) innovation in science and technology, industrial development, and application empowerment, improve AI regulatory systems and mechanisms, and firmly maintain the initiative in AI development and governance”. The new generation of large AI models, represented by GPT-5, are expected to be released successively around mid-2025. Unveiling their developmental pathways, assessing the evolution of the inherent power dynamics, and systematically formulating strategies to address future risks are important dimensions to firmly maintain the initiative in both AI development and governance. In terms of development pathways, scaling laws remain valid, and the reasoning, reflection, planning, and autonomous behavioral capacities of large AI models continue to increase rapidly. Regarding power dynamics, technological power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few organizations and individuals, while extreme risks that challenge human subjectivity are beginning to emerge. The governance of the new generation of models is increasingly reliant on the models themselves. Practical strategies include effectively promoting the development of this “young” and “youth-oriented” field, building global highlands for scientific and technological innovation and intelligent governance with demonstrative effects, and coordinating relevant legislation and institutional reforms to modernize AI-driven governance. The Artificial Intelligence Law currently under formulation takes large model technology monitoring, risk early warning, and emergency response as its main “entry point” and thematic focus, aiming to address several fundamental issues and propose solutions related to the governance of basic social contradictions and the acceleration of social development momentum.

  The private economy is an important component of the socialist market economy. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) made an important decision to formulate a law to promote the private economy. This legislation represents a key measure to implement the CPC Central Committee’s policy directives on the development of the private economy and to advance its high-quality development. This paper, grounded in the development practice of China’s private economy, systematically reviews the exploratory achievements of legislation aimed at promoting the private economy and analyzes the implementation of “a set of legislative concepts”, namely, the essence of Xi Jinping’s important discourses on the development of the private economy. The legislation should adhere to the “three basic logics”: the legal logic of promoting the development of the private economy as prescribed in the Constitution and the Civil Code, the political logic grounded in the CPC and the report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, and the practical logic shaped by the current state of China’s private economic and social development. This paper further proposes that, to enhance the development of the private economy, the legislation should align “three collaborative arrangements”: coordination between legislation, the judiciary, and enterprises.

  ZHANG Weijun, ZANG Xiuling

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2025, 215(3): 122-140. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2025.03.122

  The construction of the discourse system of China’s new type of party system is a practical necessity for its development and improvement. Tracing the generative logic of this discourse system from multiple dimensions lays the foundation for further constructing an independent, standardized, systematic, and scientific discourse system of China’s new type of party system. China’s new type of party system has been constructed and shaped by the Communist Party of China (CPC) through a century of practice under the guidance of Marxism, and it serves as the fundamental support of the political system of the country. Marxist theories on party democracy, party coalition, and party development constitute the political foundation of this system. The discourse system of China’s new type of party system is generated from the revolutionary, construction, and reform practices of the CPC.CPC members have articulated discourses on the party system and formulated policies on party relations in response to the political situation and needs of different historical periods. They have evolved from developing party relations into establishing a party system, and they have accomplished the standardized articulation of the discourse on the new type of party system in the new era. China’s new type of party system has grown from the soil of Chinese society, deeply rooted in the rich heritage of fine traditional Chinese culture, and is closely aligned with the political pattern of “great unity”, the inclusive political culture of harmony, and the political goal of serving the common good. The profound practice of Chinese modernization in the new era, advancements in philosophy and social sciences, and the continued improvement of the multi-party cooperation system have contributed new content and momentum to the development of the discourse system of the new type of party system, further enriching and enhancing the discourse system of China’s new type of party system.

  The Narrative Logic Behind US International Discourse of Policies on Hong Kong Since Trump’s First Term

  ZHANG Jian, LIU Jia

  Journal of Shanghai Institute of Socialism. 2025, 215(3): 141-157. https://doi.org/10.3969/J.ISSN.1672-0911.2025.03.141

  Since the first term of Donald Trump, the US has leveraged its advantage in international discourse to actively shape public opinion on the Hong Kong issue, providing a so-called narrative basis for its intervention in Hong Kong affairs. Since Trump took office, the US has adopted international discourse narrative strategies on the Hong Kong issue, relying on think tanks to promote the global dissemination of the concepts of freedom and democracy through the Hong Kong issue, and constructing a cognitive framework at the level of public opinion propaganda. These multi-level strategies aim to influence the policy choices of both the government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Chinese central government by exerting its international discourse power. This paper aims to explore in depth the specific pathways through which the US government employs discourse construction to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. By summarizing the core policy characteristics of the Trump administration (version 1.0) and the Biden administration in handling Hong Kong-related affairs, and conducting a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences in their use of international discourse, it elucidates the distinct international narrative models demonstrated by the two administrations regarding the Hong Kong issue. On this basis, and combined with an analysis of the characteristics of the US international discourse power, it attempts to propose strategies that China can adopt in response to international discourse challenges.

  At the end of 1935, Soong Ching-ling, then in Shanghai, was the first to learn of the arrival of the Central Red Army in northern Shaanxi after the Long March through a secret radio. She subsequently helped reestablish contact between the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Party organizations in Shanghai, promoted the formation of the anti-Japanese national united front, and made outstanding contributions to the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Soong Ching-ling was a steadfast defender of Sun Yat-sen’s political ideals. After Sun Yat sen’s untimely passing, she spent a decade in observation and reflection before decisively breaking away from the Kuomintang, choosing instead to place her trust in and support the CPC. She consistently stood on the side of historical progress, committed to seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Her correct political choice at a critical historical turning point posed a tremendous challenge and test in her life. Her glorious achievements were born of hardship, endurance, and resilient struggle.
