SUN Cheng-wu, SHENG Li-li “Political culture within the Party” and “socialist culture with Chinese characteristics” are two major propositions put forward by the Communist Party of China in the practice of leading reform and opening up and socialist modernization， which provide a cultural strategic design and path for comprehensively promoting the great project of Party building and the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Although the main value functions of the political culture within the party and the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics serve the construction of the party and the country respectively， they are two relatively independent cultural forms. However， they are closely related and interconnected， with a high degree of historical and practical internal unity. In terms of generating logic， both are guided by Marxism， based on excellent traditional Chinese culture， and rooted in revolutionary culture； In terms of value logic， both take firm belief in Marxism and the ideals and convictions of socialism and communism as their core content， and both take the core socialist values as their main value orientation. In terms of development logic， the two are integrated and mutually reinforcing， jointly leading and promoting the development process of contemporary Chinese economy and society. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 1-9 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (492 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 10 New Quality Productivity： Profound Connotation， Formation Background and Implementation Path Hot! MA Rong, WANG Hao-xiang, YAN Zhen The proposal of new quality productivity reflects the iterative upgrading of inefficient old quality productivity in the pursuit of quantitative production. This leap in productivity embodies new ideas for the development of China’s productive forces and a new trend in its economic development. In the new era， on the path of promoting China’s high-quality economic development， the new quality productivity， as an unprecedented new productivity concept， is extremely forward-looking and pioneering， and requires in-depth insights to understand and grasp. From the perspective of exploring “where the novelty lies， what gives rise to the novelty， and how to achieve the novelty”， the novelty of new-quality productivity lies in the new content within classical theories and the new paradigm that surpasses existing productivity. It is an actual necessity for unleashing new drivers of high-quality development， a proper measure for consolidating the foundation of the modern industrial system， and an inevitable countermeasure for shaping new international competitiveness. Its implementation paths ultimately point towards four “new” aspects： new growth drivers， new industries， new technologies， and new talents. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 10-17 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (554 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 18 Summary and Prospect of Research on the System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China Hot! HUANG Xiao-juan Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China， the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has become a key theoretical issue in academic research. The academic theoretical community has conducted comprehensive research on the scientific connotation， formation process， significant features， advantage construction， and profound significance of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics， and has achieved fruitful research results， laying a solid foundation for further research. To continue to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics， it is necessary to strengthen the basic theoretical research on the socialist system with Chinese characteristics， clarify the deep-seated multiple logical relationships of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics， broaden the research perspective of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics， and enrich the research methods of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 18-25 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (514 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )        Applied Economics Studies 26 Prospect of China’s Economic Situation and Policy Expectations in 2025 Hot! LIU Wei, SU Jian In 2024， China’s GDP grew by 5.0% year-on-year. The economy achieved a stable performance while at the same time secured progress， successfully achieving the growth target of around 5 percent set at the beginning of the year. Looking ahead to 2025， domestic and foreign factors such as declining national population， weak market expectations， adjustments in pillar industries， geopolitical risks， and changes in the energy landscape will continue to affect China’s economic development. The natural trend of the China’s economy will be a pattern of contraction in both supply and demand， with the contraction in demand being more significant than that in supply， and the overall economic level remaining below its potential. Risks in the real estate sector， local government debt， exchange rates and currency， as well as trade frictions， will become potential risk points for China’s future economic development. Therefore， the policy objectives in 2025 still need to focus mainly on the demand-side. Meanwhile， necessary support should be provided for the stable operation of the supply-side and the continuous improvement of the market environment. The macroeconomic policy mix should be mainly dual expansion of demand and supply， supplemented by market environment management. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 26-37 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (644 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 38 New Challenges and Paths for China as a Large Developing Country： From the Perspective of Economic Development with a Focus on GNI Per Capita Hot! ZHENG Jiang-huai, CHEN Xi, LAI Lin-lin A review of various benchmarks for determining the status of a developing country reveals that assessing whether a nation is in the category of developing countries requires a further consideration of the country's relative capacity to obtain factor returns compared to others. Specifically， it involves examining whether the ratio of the country's Gross National Income （GNI） per capita to Gross Domestic Product （GDP） per capita has long been below 1， which is characteristic of a developing economy. China is still a developing country in terms of the ratio of GNI per capita to GDP per capita. With the changes in the international environment and the domestic economy entering a new phase， China's economic development now faces new challenges. These challenges include structural problems such as the external dependence of the economic growth model， the relatively limited contribution of mid-to-high-end industries to the global value chain， noticeable shortcomings in the high-tech innovation field， and the constraints of the international economic environment. These problems have led to a relatively low level of China's ability to earn factor returns， indicating that China still remains in the status of a developing country. To achieve a higher-level of economic development， China needs to further boost the international competitiveness of scientific and technological innovation， reinforce the core competitiveness of industries， promote trade diversification and international cooperation， deeply integrate into the global industrial and supply chains， and enhance trade competitiveness. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 38-43 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (506 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 44 Challenges and Development Strategies for Building a Modern Economic System Hot! YAN Qiang-ming, ZHANG Hui Building a modern economic system is a significant strategic deployment undertaken by our Party， reflecting a comprehensive consideration of the development of the Party and the nation as a whole. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specifically proposed the goal of “building a modern economic system” by 2035. Currently， there are noticeable weaknesses and shortcomings in China in aspects such as dealing with external risks and challenges， promoting total factor productivity with new technologies， innovating structural allocation of resources， upgrading the industrial structure， and deeply integrating the real economy and the digital economy. Therefore， we should adhere to the problem-oriented approach， break through the obstacles in building a modern economic system， and accelerate the construction of a modern economic system through measures such as expanding diversified cooperation partners， shortening the misalignment cycle between technological progress and the growth of total factor productivity， optimizing the allocation of innovation resources， synchronously developing advanced manufacturing and modern service industries， and deepening the integration of the real economy and the digital economy. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 44-53 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (1249 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )        Material Flow Studies 54 County-level Retail Model Based on Fourth-Party Logistics： Taking Yidu Convenience Store as an Example Hot! TIAN Xin, REN Jia-ning, ZHOU Xiao-xue, LU Zhao-xu, TAO Ye, SHENG Hui-zhan The fourth-party logistics can facilitate information sharing and collaborative cooperation in the supply chain， and integrate multiple business models. It offers a feasible solution for county-level retail enterprises to overcome bottlenecks in logistics capabilities， broaden profit-making channels， and enhance revenue scale. Based on a fourth-party logistics framework， this paper takes Yidu Convenience Store， the only county-level chain retail enterprise ranked among the top 20 convenience stores in China， as a case study to explore and summarize the feasible models for the development of chain retail enterprises in county-level areas. The research findings indicate that actively establishing a comprehensive informatized logistics system and transitioning to the fourth-party logistics model are practical ways for the development of county-level chain retail enterprises. By leveraging efficient logistics to implement diverse profit-making models， such as physical stores and community group-buying， these enterprises can reduce costs through resource reuse and achieve synergistic efficiency gains. Moreover， the transformation of the management model can facilitate the expansion of the scale of retail enterprises. Therefore， county-level retail enterprises should strengthen logistics construction， draw on the fourth-party logistics model， adopt multiple business models， cut operating costs， and expand profit-making channels so as to achieve the development of chain-store operations. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 54-62 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (1278 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 63 On Risk Assessment Methods for Hazardous Goods Transportation Considering Road Network Dynamics Hot! Cui Han-xing, Zhao Qi-lan, Song Guang, Guo Jun-Jie The dynamic characteristics of traffic flow in urban road networks make the risk assessment of hazardous goods transportation in cities a complex systemic issue. When conducting a risk assessment of road transportation of hazardous goods， the dynamic characteristics of urban road networks should be fully considered to ensure the scientific validity of the results. Based on the expected-risk assessment framework， this paper takes into account the dynamic change characteristics of the urban traffic road network and the variation in vehicle driving speeds， and treats the transportation of hazardous goods as a process in which risks gradually accumulate over time on each road section. Consequently， a dynamic risk assessment method is proposed. The research results indicate that the dynamic road network-based method proposed in this paper can evaluate more accurately the risk levels of hazardous goods transportation within dynamic road networks， with vehicle speed significantly impacting the risk levels of hazardous goods transportation. Therefore， it is advised that enterprises can utilize the dynamic risk assessment method to optimize transportation routes， and relevant management departments may refer to this method to formulate more scientific and effective transportation regulations， thereby enhancing the precision management level of transportation safety. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 63-74 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (1557 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )        Management Studies 75 Enterprise Cross-Boundary Service Innovation Based on Digital Ecosystems： An Action Research Hot! RAN Jia-sen, XIAO Jing-hua The application of digital technology has reduced the cost for enterprises to acquire external resources and propelled the construction of digital ecosystems and service innovation. Based on the digital affordance theory and actor-network theory， this paper conducts a two-phase action research on Company J， an integrated automobile service provider， to explore the process mechanism through which enterprises achieve cross-boundary service innovation via digital ecosystems. In the first phase， the establishment of a digital ecosystem is achieved by leveraging the affordances of cross-platform data sharing and the action network between humans and digital platforms， thereby forming the foundational basis for cross-boundary services innovation. In the second phase， the empowerment of digital services is realized through the affordances of cross-platform resource integration and the action network between humans and artificial intelligence （AI）， leading to the innovative applications of cross-boundary services. The findings from the action research reveal that the process framework of the action research has become an effective tool for guiding enterprise practices and can promote communication between researchers and practitioners. At the same time， it can deepen the understanding of theories， ensuring that research results can not only guide practices but also advance theoretical development. In practice， enterprises should attach importance to the crucial role of digital platforms in data integration， recognize that building a digital ecosystem to achieve cross-sector innovation is a dynamic process， and pay attention to the new models it provides for enterprise collaboration and competition. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 75-85 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (979 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 86 Cost Assessment and Potential Analysis of Carbon Emission Reduction in China’s Transportation Sector Hot! TIAN Jin, TONG Qiong, LIANG Dong With the transportation sector a significant source of carbon emissions， its emission reduction effectiveness plays a critical role in achieving the “dual carbon” goals. This study adopts the shadow price method to estimate the carbon emission reduction costs of the transportation sector across 30 provinces in China from 2010 to 2020. On this basis， the carbon emission reduction potential of each province is evaluated from the perspectives of equity and efficiency， and the Spatial Durbin Model is used to analyze the factors influencing carbon emission reduction potential. The research findings are as follows：（1） From 2010 to 2020， the carbon emission reduction costs of China’s transportation sector exhibited an upward trend with fluctuations， characterized by higher costs in the western regions compared to the eastern regions. （2） Significant disparities exist in carbon emission reduction potential among provinces， with the eastern regions generally showing higher potential than the western regions. （3） The main factors influencing the carbon emission reduction potential include scientific and technological investment， transportation structure， economic development level， industrial structure and informatization level. Among them， the increase in scientific and technological expenditure is the key factor in reducing carbon emissions in the transportation industry. To effectively promote carbon reduction in the transportation sector， efforts should focus on reducing emission reduction costs， fully leveraging emission reduction potential， and deeply promoting regional collaborative emission reduction. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 86-98 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (930 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 99 Research on the Threshold Effect and Spatial Effect of FinTech on Regional Financial Risks Hot! MENG Miao-miao, ZHANG Zeng-lian, LI Pei-yi From the provincial-level perspective of regional financial risks， and based on provincial-level panel data from 2011 to 2022， this study applies the panel threshold model and spatial threshold model to examine the threshold effect and spatial effect of fintech on China’s regional financial risks. The research shows the following findings： First， there exists an “inverted U-shaped” relationship between fintech and regional financial risks， with fintech first promoting and then suppressing regional financial risks， and this is equally applicable to both the breadth of fintech coverage and the depth of its use. Second， the development level of fintech in China is in a reasonable state overall， which is conducive to the prevention and control of regional financial risk. Third， the non-linear impact of fintech on China's regional financial risks has spatial effects. Therefore， in the future， China should accurately grasp the development laws of fintech， develop fintech steadily， incorporate fintech supervision into the existing regulatory framework， continuously improve the long-term fintech regulatory mechanism， and accelerate the circulation of fintech development factors among regions， promote inter-regional collaborative development of fintech and collaborative governance of financial risks. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 99-110 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (788 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )        Law Studies 111 The Construction of Special Rules for the Search Engine’s Personal Information Deletion Obligation Hot! BI Ying, HE Jing-shan Search engines， as special processors of personal information， cannot fully apply the principle-based provisions of the law on the right to erasure of personal information， we， therefore， propose to formulate special rules on the obligation of search engines to delete personal information. The justification for the rule-formulation should be based on the characteristics of search engines themselves， the legal risks of their processing behaviors， and the limitations of current legal norms， and the value orientation of rule construction should highlight the balance of interests among information subjects， search engines， and the public. The system of personal information deletion obligation of search engines should be constructed from such aspects as the applicable circumstances of the deletion obligation， the scope of deletion obligation and the ways to fulfil the deletion obligation. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 111-121 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (703 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] ) 122 Regulatory Sandbox for Autonomous Driving： Application Exploration and Legal Construction Hot! DING Zhi-hua The development of autonomous vehicles has brought unprecedented challenges to the regulation of motor vehicles in various countries and regions， making regulatory innovation an urgent necessity. Countries such as Singapore and the Republic of Korea， as well as Taiwan region of China， by introducing the regulatory sandbox that originated in the Fintech regulation field into the regulation of autonomous driving， have established regulatory sandbox for autonomous vehicles through experimental legislations， providing a relaxed， secure and law-based external environment for the development of autonomous driving. The legal exemption mechanism designed to remove many legal obstacles to the development and use of autonomous vehicles constitutes the legal core of regulatory sandbox for autonomous vehicles. Corresponding to its operation phase， the institutional system of regulatory sandbox for autonomous vehicles mainly consists of sandbox access institution， road testing and application implementation institution， and sandbox exit institution. Given the complexity of the motor vehicle regulatory system and the needs of the development of autonomous driving at present， it is also urgent for China to draw on the practices of these countries and regions， initiate special legislation on autonomous driving at the national level， focus on promoting the innovation of regulatory concepts and paradigms， and accelerate the construction of an autonomous driving regulatory sandbox. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 122-133 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (569 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )        State Governance and Social Governance Studies 134 Application and Risk Mitigation of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Policy Dissemination Hot! SHI Hui-ling, ZHANG Zhuo-ya As a leading technology in the digital intelligence era， generative artificial intelligence finds its application in policy dissemination， which is prominently demonstrated in aspects such as the intelligent upgrade of each element within the policy dissemination structure and the continuous optimization of the overall dissemination structure. Specifically， it transforms the subject form of policy dissemination， driving their development towards the direction of human-machine interaction， human-machine co-construction， and human-machine symbiosis. It also alters the generation mode of policy dissemination content， improves the matching efficiency between the supply and demand of policy dissemination information， promotes the development and intelligence of integrated media， and comprehensively improves and optimizes the policy dissemination structure， thereby promoting the healthy development of policy dissemination. However， the application of generative artificial intelligence in policy dissemination is extremely complex and will also face non-negligible risks， such as the weakening of the “gatekeeper” status of policy dissemination subjects， the reinforcement of “information cocoon” of policies， the out-of-control spread of “policy public opinion”， and the continuous emergence of “policy rumors”. To avoid these risks， it is imperative to heighten the in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the entire populace regarding digital technologies represented by generative artificial intelligence and the social transformations they instigate； strengthen the construction of scientific and technological ethics and morality in the whole society， and focus on improving the technological ethics literacy of policy dissemination subjects and audiences； attach importance to the unity of the instrumental value and humanistic value of policy dissemination； and regulate the governance of generative artificial intelligence technology in accordance with the law. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 134-141 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (548 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )        Feature Articles 142 Spatial Layout and Cultural Context Inheritance in the Planning and Construction of University Campuses： A Case Study of Beijing Jiaotong University Hot! ZENG Zhong-zhong, LIU Ming-zhu, HAN Xin-rui, HAN Bing The cultural context of universities refers to the unique cultural connotations and spiritual characteristics that gradually take shape during the development of the university. It is often manifested through campus spatial planning and layout， architectural forms， and landscape construction. The inheritance of the cultural context of universities is of great significance and value in highlighting the educational mission， enhancing the campus quality， and strengthening the sense of belonging among teachers and students. Judging from the practical exploration of Beijing Jiaotong University and the development process of universities in China， three aspects can be considered as the basic routes to inheriting the cultural context of universities through spatial layout. Firstly， maintaining the coherence of the overall architectural layout with the original style through appropriate innovation， adding new ideas while “following the traditions”. Secondly， continuing and deepening the cultural connotations by using campus cultural symbols to showcase the “past and present” of campus development. Thirdly， constructing a characteristic cultural belt to present the development context of the campus. 2025 Vol. 24 (1): 142-150 [Abstract] ([an error occurred while processing this directive] ) HTML (1 KB)  PDF (2114 KB)  ( [an error occurred while processing this directive] )
