AbstractXi Jinping′s important exposition on “modernization” is an original theoretical system based on the Times, Sinicization, and Globalization. It reveals comprehensively and systematically the major issues such as “where does Chinese-style modernization come from”, “what does it present”, “how does it promote”, and “why does it succeed”, and so on. A deep understanding and overall grasp of Xi Jinping′s critical exposition on modernization requires a focus on three dimensions: In terms of the scientific system, it follows the four-dimensional framework of “Objective-Process-Content-Characteristics”, presenting modernization as “Objective”, “Process”, “Content” and “Characteristics”. In terms of internal logic, the basic questions of “why to promote Chinese-style modernization”, “what kind of Chinese-style modernization to promote”, “how to promote Chinese-style modernization with high quality”, “how to guarantee the promotion of Chinese-style modernization with high quality” and “for whom to achieve Chinese-style modernization” are profoundly answered around the creation of a new road of Chinese-style modernization. Thus, a theoretical system of modernization with strict internal logic has been constructed in the dimensions of “Ontology-Practice -Methodology-Axiology”. In terms of original contributions, Xi Jinping′s critical remarks on modernization have innovated and developed Marxist modernization theory, guided and created a new path of Chinese-style modernization, and contributed Chinese wisdom to the modernization of the world′s developing countries. These havefully demonstrated their original value in theoretical, practical and global dimensions.

However, it must be transformed before applying it to modern national administration. The Communist Party of China is the leading core of Chinese society and the subject of national governance. In the creative transformation and development of traditional governance experience, the Communist Party of China has completed three principled transformations. China′s traditional governance experience is compatible with conventional social conditions, while China′s contemporary governance is under modern conditions. The Communist Party of China has completed the condition transformation by combining the beneficial part of traditional experience with modern necessities. Traditional Chinese governance experience is elite-oriented, while contemporary Chinese governance is people-oriented. The Communist Party of China has not only adhered to the principle of people first but also learned from and transformed traditional experience to complete the positioning transformation. While the fundamental orientation of traditional Chinese governance experience is domination, the primary direction of contemporary Chinese state governance is service. Following the essential purpose of serving the people, the Communist Party of China has reshaped the traditional governance experience and completed the orientation transformation.

AbstractSupporting regulations is the experience of building intra-party laws and regulations systems summarized in the practice of governing the Party according to rules. Supporting statutes and regulations have both instrumental rationality and value rationality. However, China′s supportive laws started late, and there are still supporting blank, supporting delay, supporting rigidity, supporting insufficient problems in practice; the reason lies in the main body of supporting regulations ineffective, unclear system norms, oversight, lack of accountability for dereliction of duty. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the practical efficiency of supporting regulations by improving the suited technologies, optimizing the formulation procedures, perfecting the supervision system, intensifying the accountability mechanism, and strengthening the construction of specialized institutions and personnel.

AbstractThe dissemination of the classic works of Marxism is an important perspective for the formation of the Sinicization of Marxism, which fully highlights the inherent tension between history and logic, theory and practice, political parties and the masses, and party spirit and human nature. From the perspective of the generative logic of the Sinicization of Marxism, the “social need” of the theory is the ideological driving force for the dissemination of classic works. as a foundational work of socialist ideology, Lenin′s “WHAT IS TO BE DONE? Burning Questions of Our Movement”, has been widely disseminated in China, has profoundly enhanced the Chinese Communist Party′s grasp of historical consciousness, and has influenced the development of theory and practice of socialist ideology for more than a hundred years. From the perspective of the historical consciousness of the sinicization of Marxism, the sinicization of Marxism shows the great power of classic works to spread the idea of “explaining the world”, and the power of communication of classic works stems from the realistic guiding power of “revolutionary theory” in constructing the ideological principles of Marxist parties. From the perspective of the methodological awareness of the sinicization of Marxism, the sinicization of Marxism has witnessed the practical power in “changing the world”, which has helped the continuous development of modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Under the historical orientation of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, the value of the classic works of Marxism is still everlasting.

AbstractThe construction of rural grassroots Party organizations and developing a new rural collective economy are closely related. This paper first focuses on the overall behavioral logic of the practice of “three links” to promote the development of a new rural cooperative economy in Hanyin County, Ankang City, and Shaanxi Province. It then analyzes the innovative process and mechanism of rustic grassroots party building leading to developing a new rural collective economy in two dimensions: institutional isomorphism and institutional activation. This study found that under the specific institutional situation and development orientation, villages with different resource endowments and development status through the compulsory, normative, and competitive mechanisms to construct “the joint construction of branches” rural grassroots model. Therefore, the development mechanism of “industrial alliance and resource sharing” is formed by taking joint branch construction as the core drive, thus boosting the high-quality development of a rural collective economy. The practical model of party building in Union Village breaks the basic unit of administrative governance and embeds the institutional advantages of party building leading to rural development and grassroots governance. It reshapes grassroots party building according to the needs of village development and administration, strengthening the leading, integrating, and service functions of grassroots party organizations. It is an effective way to develop and maintain the leading rural industry and the new rural collective economy in the resource-deficient areas of central and western China.

AbstractAs a bridge linking the Communist Party of China(CPC) and the government with the people, mass organizations have significantly contributed to the cause of revolution, construction, and development at different times. To a certain extent, modernization reform is a process of mobilizing and integrating human and financial resources, namely developing and strengthening the national capacity, and then establishing an effective state and promising government. In the process of China′s modernization and reform, mass organizations also shoulder the critical responsibility of national capacity construction, and they have dual roles and tasks: On the one hand, as implementors of the reform plan for the modernization of national governance, mass organizations have been strengthening their basic capabilities of certification, enculturation, regulation, absorption and integration, and integrating individuals, groups and other organizations into the political system with the CPC as the core. On the other hand, as promoters of their modernization transformation, mass organizations are also continuously strengthening their leadership capacity building. The two-way reform of mass organizations influences and intersects with each other and constitutes an integral part of the modernization of national governance and the political and social transformation.

AbstractAlthough, by rights, the policy arrangement of providing home-based services for the elderly should meet this rigid demand, the misunderstanding of the concept of home-based services results in many policies having obvious shortcomings, with poor efficiency and effect. Based on the analysis of many related images such as “Home-based Service” and “Ageing in the Right Place,” this paper proposes a policy idea of “Elderly Health Care Community on Pastoral Residential Style” that can cover all the above correct concepts. Hopefully, we can find a service model for the elderly that integrates urban and rural, combining home-based, community, and institutional services.

Abstract“Administration” and “Autonomy” are a pair of fundamental relations in rural governance in China.In the relationship between administrative power and autonomous power, whether it is considered that “autonomy is dead” or advocates “recovery of autonomy”, the structural tension and operational difficulties between “administration” and “autonomy” are demonstrated. It is especially reflected in the ebb and flow of state power and rural social forces, the incoordination between vertical administration and horizontal autonomy, and the inconsistency between public reason and individual choice. From the point of view of the deliberative system, “administration” and “autonomy” are not dualistic relationships that cannot have both because both of them are key elements in grassroots governance. In a grassroots deliberative system that has the characteristics of equality, inclusiveness, dependence, and scientific division, “administration” and “autonomy” can be regarded as important components of the deliberative system. Promoting the effectiveness of deliberative governance can be achieved by establishing a grassroots governance community that is effectively connected and interacting, creating a good deliberation environment, clarifying the boundary between “administration” and “autonomy”, and ensuring their independence and functional characteristics. At the same time, it further provides a new path for promoting the co-progress of “administration” and “autonomy”.
