    Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has summarized the Party’s relevant theoretical experience and made a series of important expositions around major issues such as “what is meant by upholding the Party’s leadership over cultural work”, “why we must uphold the Party’s leadership over cultural work” and “how to uphold the Party’s leadership over cultural work”. These expositions constitute an important part of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture and have significant theoretical and practical value. Studying and expounding Xi Jinping’s important expositions on upholding the Party’s leadership over cultural work is of great theoretical and practical significance for building a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and guiding power.

    Modernization is the foundation for nurturing modern civilization, while the Chinese path to modernization is the foundation for the “newness” of the new form of human civilization, which exerts a comprehensive and far-reaching influence on this distinctive quality of “newness”. As a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China, the Chinese path to modernization consistently centers on the free and all-round development of the individuals in its theoretical conceptualization and practical advancement, proactively addressing the relationship between the individual and the community and promoting their harmonious integration. The foundations of the Chinese path to modernization drive the development of the “newness” inherent in the new form of human civilization, enabling it to be fully manifested through innovation and transcendence over the capitalist form of civilization. These foundations establish the material base, provide political assurance, consolidate cultural roots, pool social forces, and strengthen ecological support for this new form of human civilization. Moreover, they open up broader prospects for development in advancing the building of a human community with a shared future. To ensure the stable and sustained development of the “newness” inherent in the new form of human civilization and to maintain its transcendent comparative civilizational advantages, it is essential to adhere to the Party’s self-reform as a guide for social revolution, uphold a people-centered approach to further realize human subjectivity, and persist in comprehensively deepening reforms to promote institutional development.

    The supply mode of ideological and moral idols, as a form of ideological distribution using idols as the main carrier and medium, has long played a significant role as an important means of implementing moral education in social life. Since the new era, the supply mode of ideological and moral idols has changed significantly: its structure has become more diverse, its channels have become more effective, and its social, political, and moral functions have been further enhanced. However, with the widespread adoption of new forms of social interaction, especially the Internet like online social media platforms, the social ideological sphere has become increasingly complex. The supply mode of ideological and moral idols is now facing challenges posed by “new situations, new characteristics, new problems, and new environments.” Therefore, we should adhere to the basic logic of ideological and moral idol supply and innovate its supply mode based on the contemporary needs. In specific, we should vigorously strengthen the political function of ideological and moral idol supply; elevate its overall credibility and ability to exert influence across contexts; improve its scientific basis while enriching its cultural connotations and civilized implications; and effectively strengthen the supply of ideological and moral idols for priority groups, while highlighting idols’ self-discipline and steadfast adherence to moral principles.

    Against the research gap in the relationship between industrial upgrading and artificial intelligence (AI) governance, this paper explores AI governance for boosting manufacturing upgrading from the perspective of balancing liquidity and security of platform-based data assets, drawing on the multi-tier principal-agent model. The study reveals the following key findings: Enhancing the capabilities of platform-based AI improves the liquidity of data assets but simultaneously compromises their security. Therefore, a higher AI capability does not translate to a greater total utility for the platform; instead, there exists an optimal range of AI capability. This optimal range is primarily influenced by two endogenous variables—platform risk aversion and trust in AI—and two exogenous variables—data signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and market stability. Therefore, it is suggested that during the intelligentization of the manufacturing industry, the industry can develop an AI governance system conducive to upgrading by focusing on four dimensions: the industry’s degree of risk aversion and level of trust in AI, data quality, and market stability.

    Strategic emerging industries play a crucial role in driving economic transformation and upgrading and leading social development. At present, China’s strategic emerging industries face a dual challenge: on the one hand, they face the “chokepoint” dilemma where core technologies are subject to external constraints; on the other hand, they confront development bottlenecks of limited industrial scale and insufficient market competitiveness, which, to a certain extent, have constrained their ability to serve national strategic needs. Against this backdrop, this paper takes the domestic large aircraft industry as a representative case and systematically analyzes its industrial characteristics and developmental bottlenecks, with the aim of revealing the inherent laws governing the scale expansion and quality upgrading of strategic emerging industries. The study finds that promote the scaled development of the industry is the fundamental pathway to overcoming these dual challenges. To this end, this paper innovatively proposes the theoretical concept of “strategic pillar industries”. Furthermore, it argues that, in practice, the joint functioning of an efficient market and an effective government is essential for nurturing and upgrading strategic emerging industries into strategic pillar industries, thereby fully unleashing their strategic value. The paper argues that cultivating and expanding strategic pillar industries is not only a solution to overcoming technological bottlenecks and fostering new quality productive forces, but also an inevitable path to breaking through the development constraints of the national economy.

    As China is currently in a critical period of transitioning from old to new growth drivers, accelerating industrial upgrading and transformation is a top priority for current development. As a derivative of digital technology, the industrial internet platform is a hybrid institutional arrangement distinct from a single administrative or market-based institutional arrangement. This type of institutional arrangement can not only leverage external regulation to promote enterprises’ transformation and upgrading, but also stimulate the motivation for transformation and upgrading from within enterprises, which is conducive to addressing the long-standing challenges in China’s industrial upgrading. This paper argues that industrial internet platforms can drive industrial transformation and upgrading in three aspects: Facilitate the standardized and personalized development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and enhance the internal production efficiency and overall quality of enterprises; Break the objective constraints of geographical distance to enable virtual industrial agglomeration, thereby effectively promoting the efficient and flexible supply and allocation of resources; Amplify the “network effects” of leading enterprises to accelerate the accumulation of factors required for industrial upgrading, thus promoting the integration and upgrading of manufacturing and service industries. As a hybrid institutional arrangement, industrial internet platforms can systematically advance industrial transformation and upgrading. Among them, market-driven institutional arrangements stimulate the vitality of enterprises, while administrative-led institutional arrangements facilitate enterprise upgrading.

    As digital platforms have gradually become the core hubs of business activities, interactions among different digital platform ecosystems have become increasingly prevalent. Understanding the complex interactive relationships between platforms in the context of digital economy and facilitating platform firms in formulating differentiated cross-platform collaboration strategies has emerged as a critical research agenda. Drawing on the cross-ecosystem flow of elements in natural ecosystems, we can systematically explore the interaction mechanisms and patterns among digital platform ecosystems. The results reveal the following findings: (1)Interactions among digital platform ecosystems constitute a multidimensional, multilayered complex process. The formation of these interactive mechanisms stems from the interconnectivity characteristics that digital platforms exhibit in data sharing, user migration, and dynamic evolution; (2)Interactions among digital platform ecosystems are classified into two basic types: scale expansion-oriented and function complementarity-oriented. These two interaction types can be achieved either under single-firm dominance or through collaborative cooperation among multiple firms, reflecting the diversity and flexibility of interactions among digital platform ecosystems; (3)Through in-depth analysis of user flow patterns across digital platforms, three typical interaction patterns are identified: cross-platform user flow and diffusion pattern, cross-platform user-complementor role exchange pattern, and the platform periodic interaction-triggered seasonal user migration pattern. Each pattern has its unique participants, operational mechanisms, and implementation paths. Platform firms should formulate differentiated cross-platform collaboration strategies based on predictions of user behavior.

    Against the complexity and uncertainty of supply chain procurement decisions in a dynamic risk environment, this paper constructs a multi-period, multi-objective mixed-integer programming model based on Markov chain theory to optimize the collaborative decision-making mechanism of supply chain resilience, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Through numerical simulation and sensitivity analysis, the study reveals the following findings: First, the Markov chain-based decision-making model can effectively depict the dynamic evolution characteristics of suppliers’ states, thus providing enterprises with scientific procurement decision-making tools; Second, there exist inherent conflicts between cost, service level, and environmental performance in supply chain procurement decisions, requiring enterprises to dynamically adjust the priority of objectives; Third, the multi-source procurement strategy significantly improves supply chain resilience, but it is necessary to balance the conflicts among multiple objectives; Finally, although the emergency procurement strategy can mitigate the risk of supply disruption, its costs and negative environmental impacts need to be incorporated into dynamic evaluation. Therefore, this study suggests that manufacturing enterprises can construct a multi-tiered and multi-supplier supply network, establish a rigorous supplier evaluation framework, and develop decision support tools to address the challenge of dynamic balance among multiple objectives in supply chain management.

    Blockchain technology has become an important tool for maritime enterprises to promote collaboration and digital upgrading within the maritime supply chain. However, the adoption of blockchain technology by maritime enterprises is influenced by multiple factors. Academic research has primarily conducted in-depth studies focusing on technological, organizational, and environmental factors. A comprehensive review of relevant research findings reveals the following: technological factors are key influencers of blockchain adoption in maritime enterprises, as the characteristics of blockchain exert a dual effect, serving as both drivers and constraints; organizational factors act as critical determinants, directly shaping firms’ adoption behaviors and decisions; the influence of external environmental factors is mainly reflected in legal safeguards, policy and regulatory systems, market demand and social influence. Future research should emphasize systematic investigations of how the characteristics and different types of blockchain technology affect adoption decisions, strengthen the study of environmental factors, and further enrich research perspectives and methodological approaches to deepen the understanding of the factors influencing blockchain adoption in maritime enterprises.

    As a typical representative of new quality productive forces, the low-altitude economy is an economic form emerging from the in-depth development and utilization of low-altitude resources driven by the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. It consists of six major systems: the aircraft R&D and manufacturing industrial system, low-altitude infrastructure system, low-altitude basic institutional system, low-altitude airspace support system, low-altitude safety support system, and flight service application industrial system. Driven by the dual engines of major technological innovations and rich application scenarios, it exhibits characteristics such as the factorization of low-altitude resources, the integration of air-ground activities, and the scaling of value creation. Currently, China’s low-altitude economy is still in the initial stage of development. We should adhere to supply-side priority, promote supply-side structural reform through low-altitude technological innovation and the integrated opening and development of air-ground resources, and adapt to existing demand with high-quality supply to create and lead new demand.

    ESG, as an emerging investment philosophy and corporate evaluation criterion, has evolved from an added corporate value to a core determinant of corporate viability. It signifies a shift from a shareholder-centric governance model to a multi-stakeholder governance paradigm, guiding new directions for corporate governance paradigms and sustainable development, and bringing new challenges to modern corporate governance. Under the ESG trend, a comprehensive transformation and reshaping of corporate governance is required. Therefore, this paper suggests that firstly, ESG concepts should be integrated into the corporate purpose to make it a fundamental criterion guiding corporate operations and governance; secondly, corporate governance bodies should be reformed, shareholders and supervisory boards should be empowered with ESG capabilities, and an ESG committee at the board level should be established; and finally, incentive and restraint mechanisms should be improved, the obligation system governing directors’ assumption of ESG responsibilities should be reshaped, so that a brand-new ESG-driven corporate governance mechanism can be constructed.

    With the continuous deepening of railway reform, China has established a competitive landscape featuring the coexistence of various types of railway transport companies, making corporate governance optimization an inevitable choice. Currently, restructured railway transport companies have achieved the transformation of operational mechanisms and the establishment of supporting systems, with certain progress made in corporate governance. However, the unrationalized layout of the governance system, the unscientific construction of the governance structure, and the imperfect operation of the governance mechanism. Judging from Baoshen Railway Group’s practical exploration in market-oriented operations, optimizing corporate governance is the key to enhancing the company’s competitiveness and sustainable development. Therefore, this paper suggests that firstly, we should strengthen the systematicness of the governance system layout, restructure the rights and responsibilities interface between the parent company and its subsidiaries, and promote market-oriented management; secondly, we should improve the scientificity of the governance structure, and further clarify the right-responsibility boundaries of the governance subjects,build a substantive board of directors and enhance the role of external directors; and finally, we should ensure the effective operation of the governance mechanism, strengthen the supervision and assessment mechanism, improve the communication mechanism, and establish an error-tolerance and correction mechanism.

    The rapid development of internet finance, while promoting social and economic growth and stimulating economic vitality, has also given rise to issues of unfair competition in commercial promotion. How to identify and handle illegal commercial promotion in internet finance is an important issue that needs to be addressed in the construction of economic rule of law. Traditional criteria for determining unfair competition fail to fully address the new changes in internet finance, leading to regulatory dilemmas regarding such criteria. Anti-unfair competition regulations are misaligned with internet finance consumption scenarios, and there is a lack of normative standards for identifying unfair competition in internet finance commercial promotion. To standardize the identification of unfair competition in internet finance commercial promotion, it is necessary to accurately grasp the theoretical assumptions of traditional identification criteria, deepen the understanding of the basic theories underlying these criteria, and develop a systematic framework for identify unfair competition practices, that is, taking “unfairness of conduct” as the core thread, “whether it distorts consumer decisions” as the core object, and “form + substance” as the core content. The normative construction of criteria for determining unfair competition in internet finance commercial promotion should focus on key links in the identification standards; establish formal standards for the reasonable disclosure of information, including standards such as legality, authenticity, accuracy, sufficiency, rationality, and comprehensibility; set substantive standards for the extension of suitability obligations, including requirements such as effectively presenting the risk-return relationship, maintaining neutrality and objectivity, and giving reasonable attention to differences among target audiences of commercial promotion, establish the suitability obligation standards among internet financial products, commercial promotion and financial consumers.

    The copyright and copyrightability of artificial intelligence (AI) products are pressing academic issues that require resolution. Following traditional thinking, AI products are not considered copyrightable, necessitating a shift in legal perspective to explore copyright protection paths for AI products. From the object-oriented approach, AI products are an extension of human will, with AI simulating human will in an auxiliary manner. From the subject-oriented approach, AI products can be defined as special works made for hire or as special collaborative works, enabling natural or legal persons to obtain copyrights for AI products. Regarding the specific ownership of copyright, the concept of open-source software can be used as a reference for resolution. We can refer to the collective management system of copyright to confirm the copyrights of AI products, update legal interpretations to provide a jurisprudential basis for the legality of their copyright without amending legislation, and establish a review and supervision mechanism for AI products through public authority intervention.

    Constructing a scientifically sound physical literacy index system for college students is an important foundation for achieving scientific evaluation and effective intervention of physical fitness. Using the Meta-method, evaluation indicators of physical literacy are selected and extracted from domestic and foreign literature. The CRITIC-entropy method was employed to assign weights to the indicators, thereby establishing a physical literacy index system for college students. A measurement analysis was conducted on 1,196 samples of college student data. The research results show that college students’ physical literacy overall exhibits a multi-level characteristic dominated by behavioral habits, supported by cognition and motivation, and basically guaranteed by physical ability. However, performance across various aspects is uneven, with notable deficiencies particularly in the implementation of behaviors and the transformation of cognition. To effectively enhance the overall level of college students’ physical literacy, college physical education should focus on strengthening the cultivation of behavioral habits as the core, establishing a physical literacy promotion mechanism that integrates classroom and extracurricular activities, connecting cognition and practice.
