Abstract:
Since its founding, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has attached great importance to shaping the people’s spiritual life, that is, the ideological world, continuously leading the Chinese people to forge a spiritual realm belonging to the Chinese nation with a mindset of self-awareness, self-reliance, confidence, and self-strengthening. During the period of New Democratic Revolution, the CPC led the Chinese people in striving for a beautiful vision of common prosperity in spiritual life and achieved spiritual initiative. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, on the basis of establishment of a spiritual and cultural system, the universal supply of spiritual and cultural products was gradually realized, enabling the self-reliance of the people's spiritual life. In the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, while vigorously promoting the construction of spiritual civilization, attention was paid to consolidating the social foundation of the people's spiritual life, achieving the self-confidence of the people’s spiritual life. Since the entry into the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the proposal of common prosperity in spiritual life has provided a strong spiritual impetus and ideological support for addressing the principal social contradiction in China, advancing the Chinese path to modernization, and realizing the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Abstract:
The socialist system with Chinese characteristics is an institutional form that has been formed based on an internal logic under specific temporal and spatial conditions. It is the key to interpreting “China’s governance”, revealing “China’s miracle”, and understanding “China’s solution”. This institutional form demonstrates an advanced ideological system, constructs a comprehensive normative system, forms a modern governance system, contains a valuable experience system, and presents a distinctive discourse system. In the long-term historical evolution process, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has formed a unique methodology for institutional construction, accumulated valuable historical experience, and deepened the understanding of the regularity of institutional construction. These are not only of great significance for us to continue to adhere to and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, but also provide inspiration for other countries in the world to explore their own paths of institutional construction.
A Study on the Assessment of Values in Summative Examinations of Ideological and Political Courses in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract:
The high degree of compatibility between fine traditional Chinese culture and the fundamental principles of Marxism in handling the relationships among values, knowledge, reality, and practice provides a logical premise for assessing values in the summative examinations of Ideological and Political Courses in higher education institutions from the perspective of the “Second Integration”. This approach thereby addresses major challenges commonly observed in such examinations, such as obscuration of values, detachment from reality, and disconnection between knowledge and practice. Methodologically, it is necessary to integrate the fundamental thesis that “the essence of human beings is the sum total of all social relations” with traditional concepts such as “humans are capable of forming groups (ren neng qun)”, to combine the basic requirement of “proving the truth of one's thinking in practice” with traditional experiences like “learning ends with putting it into practice (xue zhi yu xing zhi er zhi yi)”, to unite the fundamental method of “embedding values guidance within knowledge impartation” with traditional cognitive approaches such as “like the weft crossing the warp, yet never exceeding the loom (heng xie chao zong, bu chu yu pan)” , and to marry the basic law of “negation of the negation” with traditional wisdom including “verifying through interwoven comparison (ou can wu zhi yan)”. Regarding the design of subjective test questions, four aspects require attention: the setting of the introductory context, the selection of the scenario subject, the allocation of specific knowledge, and cross-validation judgment. In terms of procedural safeguards, it is necessary to coordinate the processes before, during, and after the examination; with institutional guarantees, synergy across levels, types, and content standardization is needed; and regarding resource support, the integration of personnel, information, and cultural elements must be coordinated.
Research on Rural Development Pathways under the Guidance of Ecological Construction Concept-Based on Practical Investigation in Fujian
HUANG Ruirui, LIN Zhen
2026, 42(2): 26-34. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025050100
Abstract(20) HTML (18) PDF(9)
Abstract:
During his tenure in Fujian, Xi Jinping based on the local mountain and sea resource endowments and development realities, proposed and implemented a series of concepts and measures to promote rural development through ecological construction. These include adhering to a people-centered approach to promote the value transformation of ecological resources, promoting regional cooperation as a collaborative path for ecological poverty alleviation and sustainable development, integrating cultural protection into rural construction to safeguard rural “nostalgia”, and providing long-term guarantees for ecological rural construction through institutional innovation. These concepts have been centrally reflected in the rural construction such as the development of the “Mountain and Sea Economy” in eastern Fujian, the cooperation between Fujian and Ningxia, and the construction of Changkou Village, as well as in practices such as the reform of collective forest right system and the control of soil erosion in Changting, effectively promoting the coordinated development of rural economy, culture and ecology. The exploration experience during the Fujian period has also provided a practical sample and conceptual inspiration for the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy in the new era.

Research on the Innovation Mechanism of “Immediate Response to Complaints” Work in Colleges and Universities from the Perspective of the New Era “Fengqiao Experience”
LI Jiabin
2026, 42(2): 35-41. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025070095
Abstract(36) HTML (18) PDF(9)
Abstract:
The “immediate response to complaints” work in colleges and universities is highly consistent with the “Fengqiao Experience” of the new era in terms of value orientation, governance logic, and practical approaches. As a vivid practice of the “Fengqiao Experience” in higher education, the “immediate response to complaints” work in colleges and universities is a practical need to enhance the governance capacity and level of colleges and universities, an important means to strengthen the work style construction of colleges and universities, and a powerful measure to prevent and defuse campus conflicts and risks. Under the perspective of the “Fengqiao Experience” in the new era, the “immediate response to complaints” work in colleges and universities is confronted with practical obstacles in aspects such as top-level design, response mechanisms, collaborative governance, and assessment and evaluation. Taking Beijing University of Technology as an example, this article constructs an “four-in-one” optimization and innovation mechanism that includes strengthening the leading role of Party building work, improving the expression and analysis of demands, building collaborative governance, and innovating assessment and evaluation. This provides a reference for the high-quality development of the “immediate response to complaints” work in colleges and universities in the new era, thereby promoting the modernization practice of the governance system and governance capacity of colleges and universities.

Abstract:
With the annual increase in the number of university graduates, the issue of graduate employment has become a hot topic of widespread social concern in Chinese society. The difficulty of securing employment for university graduates is also a key challenge that universities must address. The challenges of university graduate employment can be attributed to both external and internal factors. While external factors are largely beyond the control of individual students, internal factors are closely tied to personal development. Therefore, this study started from the needs of enterprises and institutions and conducted a questionnaire survey of 423 enterprises and institutions nationwide through University of Science and Technology Beijing. Statistical analysis was used to systematically explore the characteristics and variations in enterprises’ demands for graduate employability. The findings reveal that currently, enterprises most value university graduates’ execution skills, teamwork abilities, and problem-solving capabilities. Significant differences exist across industries, and state-owned enterprises and private enterprises emphasizing distinct competencies. Based on these findings, the study proposes a competency development pathway for university graduates grounded in enterprise needs, structured around four dimensions: “clarifying demands, optimizing training, strengthening collaboration, and building awareness” This framework provides practical guidance for universities to enhance targeted education and for students to boost their employability, thereby supporting the implementation of the national high-quality employment strategy.

Abstract:
Red Culture and the Steel Spirit are highly aligned in their spiritual core and value pursuits, mutually reinforcing and integrating. Integrating both into the educational process has significant contemporary and educational value. This study, based on universities in the metallurgical industry, effectively promotes the integration of Red Culture and the Steel Spirit throughout the educational process through the practical strategy of “value internalization—scenario experience—mutual empowerment”. On this basis, a full-chain practical education model of “Red Culture + Steel Spirit” as the main line is constructed, integrating red resources and industry resources. Relying on the four major platforms of classrooms, campuses, society and the internet, to achieve the deep integration of value guidance and professional shaping, providing an innovative exploration for other industry-specific universities to carry out characteristic practical education.
Research on the Operation Mechanism of Supervision and Inspection in Colleges and Universities in the New Era
LI Fangmo, YU Dian
2026, 42(2): 58-65. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025090115
Abstract(19) HTML (6) PDF(5)
Abstract:
The “Implementation Theory” holds that the vitality of a decision lies in its implementation. Without implementation, even the best blueprint remains a mere piece of paper. The supervision and inspection work in colleges and universities is an important means to promote implementation of work and an essential part of achieving scientific leadership, strengthening school management, and promoting high-quality development. Although many colleges and universities have recognized the importance of supervision and inspection work and have introduced relevant systems, there are still problems in practice, such as non-standard work processes, weak coordination and linkage, inadequate process tracking, and insignificant effectiveness. This article, oriented towards solving practical problems, explores that to further strengthen the supervision and inspection work in colleges and universities, it is necessary to establish a hierarchical and classified supervision system, a coordinated responsibility mechanism, a full-process tracking mechanism, and a result feedback mechanism. It aims to answer the questions of “why to supervise”, “what to supervise”, “who supervises”, and “how to supervise” in the operation mechanism of supervision and inspection work in colleges and universities.

Abstract:
To address the practical dilemmas in Curriculum-Based Ideological and Political Education (CBIPE) at science and engineering universities, such as the disconnection between technology and humanities, and the superficial implementation of value guidance, this study, based on the Marxist view of practice and the core socialist values, conducts practical research on the integration of CBIPE using the “Pengpai” Torch Design Project for the Asian Winter Games as a carrier, and further analyzes the educational logic and effectiveness of CBIPE in these universities. The results demonstrate the following paths are effective: Cultivating the national spirit by following the educational chain of “cultural elements—professional practice—value identification”, empowering the spirit of science through the system of “practice norms—process management—competency evaluation”, and constructing a holistic educational pattern in accordance with the mechanism of “teacher guidance—student ownership—multi-party collaboration”. By achieving the organic integration of knowledge impartment, competency development, and value guidance within a realistic professional practice environment, this process has pioneered a replicable and innovative practical model of CBIPE for science and engineering universities.

The Regulatory Dilemma and Solution for Algorithmic Personalized Pricing
ZOU Kailiang, XU Peijie, ZENG Wenqin
2026, 42(2): 72-79. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025040089
Abstract(14) HTML (15) PDF(2)
Abstract:
In the era of digital economy, algorithmic personalized pricing—a method approaching first-degree price discrimination—has emerged as a novel tool for profit maximization. While creating business opportunities for operators, it simultaneously triggers multiple risks: infringing consumers' legitimate rights, disrupting fair market competition, and eroding aggregate consumer welfare. Confronting this new pricing paradigm, existing legal frameworks—including the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, Pricing Law, Anti-Monopoly Law, and Anti-Unfair Competition Law—demonstrate inadequate adaptability. Systemic deficiencies persist in holistic oversight and collaborative regulation, compounded by insufficient algorithmic internal controls within platforms and deficient consumer algorithm literacy. To prevent and mitigate hazards of algorithmic personalized pricing, a three-pronged approach is imperative: refining legal norms, strengthening regulatory enforcement, and advancing collaborative governance. This integrated strategy will overcome current regulatory dilemmas and foster a healthy, upright digital economic ecosystem.
The Value Basis, Interpretation and Application of the Property Division Rules in Non-marital Cohabitation
WEN Shuwan, XUE Ninglan
2026, 42(2): 80-91. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025040028
Abstract(17) HTML (9) PDF(2)
Abstract:
Non-marital cohabitation has gradually become a more common form of intimate relationship in society. It is a value choice for the law to select some of the de facto cohabitation relationships for evaluation; its legitimacy is based on the equality of legal regulation and the realization of legal values, but the appropriate boundaries should still be grasped with reference to the marital relationship, and demonstrate varying degrees of significance in gender relations, property relations, and parent-child relations. Article 4 of the Interpretation (II) of the Marriage and Family Part has constructed the property division rules in non-marital cohabitation in response to practical needs. In dealing with disputes over the division of property in non-marital cohabitation, the value principles should differ from those of the marital property system and property law, respecting the freedom of will and the protection of the family by the state. In the application of the rules, it is necessary to make a reasonable distinction between disputes over the division of property in cohabitation relationship, disputes over the division of property in divorce and disputes over betrothal property, accurately identify “non-marital cohabitation”, “cohabitation period” and the internal application logic of the rules, and to understand the determination and treatment of debts in non-marital cohabitation from the perspective of systematic interpretation. In addition, the adjudicators can still refer to the application of the rules on compensation for domestic labor in marriage and family based on the litigation request of the parties in disputes over the division of property in non-marital cohabitation.
Reflection and Reconstruction of the Case Selection Mechanism for Securities Special Representative Litigation
NIE Guoqing, QIAN Yuwen
2026, 42(2): 92-104. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025050128
Abstract(17) HTML (6) PDF(3)
Abstract:
The “Securities Law” stipulates that investor protection institutions “may” participate in litigation in the capacity of a special representative, granting investor protection institutions the procedural option to initiate special representative litigation; the China Securities Regulatory Commission has preliminarily defined the scope of case selection and fully delegated the substantive case selection authority to the Investor Service Center. However, in the case selection rules formulated by the Investor Service Center, the listing of specific situations is mixed with catch-all provisions, the application logic is ambiguous, the listed scenarios are broadly worded, and the self-empowerment lacks boundaries, failing to effectively distinguish them from ordinary representative litigation. At its root, the functional positioning of special representative litigation is not yet clear, as it has the dual effects of safeguarding the public interest in securities and realizing private rights; the role positioning of the Investor Service Center as a statutory public welfare organization is not clear enough. While attempting to exert private law enforcement effectiveness, it actually undertakes public law enforcement functions and lacks corresponding incentives and external checks and balances mechanisms. Restructuring the case selection mechanism for special representative litigation should establish a selection principle centered on “safeguarding the securities public interest” and determine the criteria for judging damages to the securities public interest. Clarify the case selection rules of the Investor Service Center, with the general principle of meeting three specific situations simultaneously, and the exception of the catch-all provisions, and provide clear and detailed standards for the application of these two types of situations. Give full play to the private law enforcement effectiveness of the Investor Service Center, ensure the independent exercise of the right to choose cases, appropriately expand the scope of eligible investor protection institutions, strengthen the honor incentives of the Investor Service Center and reduce its litigation costs, and establish a collaborative supervision system where administrative agencies are responsible for the supervision of case selection behavior and work discipline, and judicial agencies are responsible for the substantive review of case selection rights.

“Watching Labor”: A New Form of Labor Alienation in the Short Video Era and Its Criticism
ZUO Luping, ZHU Liang
2026, 42(2): 105-113. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2025010088
Abstract(12) HTML (6) PDF(3)
Abstract:
With the deepening development of digital technology, short videos have become a preferred leisure activity for the majority of internet users. The emergence of short videos blurs the boundary between labor and leisure, allowing users to create surplus value for platforms under the guise of leisure, and engaging in self-exploitative unpaid labor for short video platforms. “Watching labor” has thus emerged as a new form of labor. Examining this novel labor form through Marx’s theory of alienated labor reveals that “Watching labor” still exhibits Marx's fourfold characteristics of alienated labor, and this alienation has become more concealed and harmless through short video leisure activities. Therefore, to transform the current “laborization” of leisure in “watching labor” towards the “laborization” of labor, three approaches should be prioritized: strengthening institutional construction, promoting data sharing, and enhancing value guidance. These measures aim to dismantle capitalist logic, restore the essence of digital technology productivity, and return to human-centered principles, and realize the return of the user’s subjectivity in “watching labor” and promote the overall development of people in the digital age.
Middle Powers and “the Belt and Road” International Cooperation: Research on Role Attributes, Functional Positioning and Countermeasures
DING Gong
2026, 42(2): 114-121. doi: 10.19979/j.cnki.issn10082689.2024120129

Abstract:
In the new stage of high-quality joint construction of “the Belt and Road”, it is necessary to achieve the goal of enhancing cost-benefit effect and increasing the resource utilization and concentration of “the Belt and Road” by focusing on the key points and taking the overall situation into consideration, following the cooperation path of one-way drive, two-way interaction and multi-directional linkage, and through the way of “gathering points to form a line, and bringing along the entire area”. The middle powers do not form a direct competition with China as a major country, and are generally more active towards “the Belt and Road” than the group of large countries. At the same time, middle powers are the group with the highest comprehensive strength ranking outside of large countries, and play an undeniable guiding and interconnected role at the global and regional levels. Especially in the interregional interaction between the world and regions, the distinctive attributes of middle powers—being more capable than ordinary small and medium-sized states and more willing to play a role than big powers—determine their high compatibility with the functional positioning of “the Belt and Road” as a new model of regional cooperation at the present stage. Therefore, from the perspectives of subjective will and objective conditions, this paper draws the conclusion that middle powers can play a supporting role in the high-quality joint construction of “the Belt and Road”. It also proposes that middle powers should leverage their pivotal role by strengthening targeted, reserve, and forward-looking research, as well as by strategically managing diplomacy with major powers.
AIGC Impact on and Reshaping of Expert Authority-Analysis Framework based on Authority Theory
LI Xican

Abstract:
The iterative upgrading of artificial intelligence technology and the diversification of application scenarios have profoundly impacted on expert authority. The core mechanism of AIGC impacting and reshaping expert authority needs to be explored. Based on the theory of expert authority, this study constructs an integrated framework of five key influencing factors, including professional knowledge, evaluation methods, related resources, value norms, and audience needs. It summarizes the process and mechanism of AIGC reshaping expert authority. On this basis, the realization form and evolution direction of future expert authority are proposed. The research results show that: (1) The impact of AIGC on expert authority is reflected at two levels: experts and social audience. At the expert level, both the “truth” of expert knowledge and the “goodness” of expert behavior are impacted by AIGC to varying degrees; at the social audience level, AIGC has achieved knowledge empowerment and promoted the process of knowledge democratization. (2) In response to the limitations of AIGC, the expert community has made self-adjustments and improvements in knowledge production and dissemination to a large extent. The irreplaceable superiority of experts lies in creativity, emotion, morality, and humanistic care, which constitute the core values of experts. (3) On this basis, the realization form and evolution direction of expert authority in the future will be reflected in focusing on forward exploration, deep communication and connection with society, correction of AI technology and data, adherence to moral responsibility, and leading the direction of knowledge creation.
