    Abstract:
    With the success of China’s poverty alleviation in 2020, the focus of the work of “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” has been comprehensively shifted to rural revitalization. The No.1 Document of Central Party Committee in 2024 pointed out that the goal of building an agricultural power should be anchored and the comprehensive rural revitalization should be promoted. Finance is a strong support for rural revitalization. Rural inclusive insurance under the support of government policy through market-oriented operation can provide effective risk protection for agriculture, farmers and rural areas. On the basis of theoretical analysis of the mechanism of rural inclusive insurance serving rural revitalization, we investigated four insurance companies in Jiangsu province and summarized the innovative measures of rural inclusive insurance service to build rural areas with thriving businesses, pleasant living environments, social etiquette and civility, effective governance, and prosperity. The entropy weight method and entropy weight TOPSIS method are used to measure the rural revitalization level of 13 cities in Jiangsu Province. It is found that the level of rural revitalization in all cities has been steadily improved and the gap is obviously narrowing. Then using the systematic GMM regression method, it is found that the development of rural inclusive insurance has a significant positive impact on the rural revitalization of Jiangsu Province. However, the impact on the specific five dimensions is different, among which the impact on thriving businesses and pleasant living environments is the most obvious, and the impact on the other three dimensions needs to be further strengthened. Finally, we put forward five paths of rural inclusive insurance to serve the rural revitalization of Jiangsu Province including controlling agricultural production risks to stabilize farmers’ income, easing rural industry financing constraints to help industrial upgrading, improving farmers’ living security to serve livelihood, designing more green insurance products and mechanisms to achieve green ecological development and participating in rural governance to improve rural culture.

    Abstract:
    The increasing population aging and population inversion leads to an increasingly prominent problem of the rural elderly care. Under the situation of weakened family elderly care functions, carrying out the public-funded-private-run reform of elderly care institutions in rural areas has become an important measure to improve the socialized elderly care system in rural areas. However, although the public-funded-private-run reform of elderly care institutions in rural areas has broadened the channels for the participation of multiple subjects, it has also encountered many bottlenecks such as distorting the policy intention and poor practice effect. It is found that the discussion of the relationship of multiple subjects between rights and responsibilities is the key to solving the bottleneck of the reform. Through the two concepts of “multi-subject welfare” in welfare pluralism and “multi-subject governance” in social governance, this study constructs the analysis frame of “multi-subject identification-multi-subject participation-multi-subject coordination”, and discusses possible prerequisite and optimization path of the public-funded-private-run reform of elderly care institutions in rural areas. The practice in County A in central China shows that it is the precondition to clarify the rights and responsibilities of the multiple subjects, while the logic of the multiple subjects themselves is the root of the dilemma of system reform, which is manifested in the offside management of the county civil affairs bureau under the policy involution, the absence of the township government work under the bureaucratic logic, the target deviation of market entities under the over-reliance, and the lack of experience of institutional directors under the rational life. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the county civil affairs bureau grasps the direction without overstepping its bounds, reshapes the supervision and communication responsibilities of township governments, clarifies the role of market entities and product positioning, and improves the role positioning and ability improvement of the institutional directors, so as to realize the coordinated development of multiple subjects. Only in this way, can we achieve the original intention of the public-funded-private-run reform of elderly care institutions in rural areas, improve the construction system of elderly care institutions in rural areas, and provide a boost to the diversified and high-quality development of socialized elderly care in rural areas.

    Abstract:
    The urban-rural integrated development is a major theoretical innovation generated by the combination of Marx and Engels’ urban-rural integration thought and China’s reality. It is also an important strategic measure to guide the healthy development of urban-rural relations in China in the new era. This strategic move abandoned the drawbacks of western capitalist modernization, fully demonstrated the significant advantages of Chinese-style modernization, and constituted the proper meaning of Chinese-style modernization. From the perspective of Chinese-style modernization, the urban-rural integrated development has rich connotations and distinct characteristics. In terms of connotation, there are two aspects. First, it is clear that urban-rural integrated development is an inevitable choice for Chinese-style modernization. The second is to emphasize that the urban-rural integrated development is neither “homogenization of urban and rural areas”, nor “urbanization of rural areas”, nor “elimination of villages”. Instead, on the basis of respecting the differences between urban and rural areas, it emphasizes the preservation of the unique features of rural areas, allowing beautiful rural areas and modern cities to complement each other, jointly building a community of shared life between urban and rural areas to achieve symbiosis and prosperity. In terms of characteristics, the urban-rural integrated development is embodied in the essential attribute of the people, which is also the key to maintaining the strong vitality of Chinese-style modernization. At this stage, to promote Chinese-style modernization with the urban-rural integrated development, we must improve the relevant institutional mechanisms, thoroughly implement the concept of new development, promote high-quality economic development, consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation, and effectively link them with rural revitalization, take multiple measures and continue to work hard to achieve the second centennial goal and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    Abstract:
    The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental guarantee for further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization. The modernization transformation of rural grassroots Party building is the key to the realization of Chinese modernization in rural areas. Based on the empirical research of the whole country, this study constructs a two-dimensional analysis perspective of politicized construction and organized action from the perspective of Party building function, divides rural grassroots Party building into four types including formalization Party building, suspension Party building, involution Party building and organized Party building, and analyzes the performance, distribution and causes of each type of Party building. The study holds that the organized Party building with strong political construction and strong organizational action ability is the direction of the modernization transformation of rural grassroots Party building. The political structure of “Party building guidance and three governances” provides political conditions for organized Party building. Organized Party building can redistribute grassroots public power, which not only ensures the political leadership of the Communist Party of China, but also endows grassroots society with political vitality. The demand for distributive mobilization action provides the era conditions for the organized Party building. Under the background of resources going to the countryside, the grassroots Party organizations need to form rules recognition aggregation and collective action consensus through the allocation of resources, so as to realize the “re-politicization” of farmers. The innovation of the theoretical discourse of “the mass line” provides ideological support for the transformation of rural grassroots Party building, and the mass route in the context of organized Party building has new theoretical connotation. To move towards organized Party building, it is necessary to take affairs as the clue and the mass line as the value to run through political organizations and organizational society, extend the resources to the countryside into governance ability in function, transform the overall requirements of central integration into local technical practice, and respect the adaptability and creativity of rural grassroots Party building.

    Abstract:
    “The Second Combination” scientifically explains the inherent logic and historical logic of Marxism’s innovation and development in China, and raises the Communist Party of China’s understanding of the regularity of the Chineseisation of Marxism and the inheritance and innovation of excellent traditional Chinese culture to a new height. It is a theoretical proposition with original significance in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.To understand this proposition, it is necessary to make it clear that the Communist Party of China is the main body promoting the ideological theory and action practice of “The Second Combination”, realizing the dialectical unity of“transforming” excellent traditional Chinese culture with Marxism and “transforming” Marxism with Chinese excellent tradition, and our Party promotes the“transformation” of Marxism with excellent traditional Chinese culture into a belief of the people. The belief eventually transforms into a powerful ideological weapon for the transformation of the objective world and the subjective world. The proposal and practice of “The Second Combination” contains profound theoretical logic, historical logic and value logic, which not only contains the two-way interaction of premises, conditions and results, but also presents the evolution and development from form, content to meaning, and also deeply highlights the dialectical unity of nationality, contemporaneity and global characteristics.“The Second Combination” has a clear practical orientation. During the critical period of comprehensively promoting the construction of a powerful country and national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization, we must adhere to and apply the “Six insist on” well, and take the “Six insist on” as the guiding ideology of comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization, and implement this ideology throughout the entire process the work of the Party and the state, constantly opening up a new realm of combining Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

    Abstract:
    As a cultural wave sweeping the contemporary society, the “new China-Chic” is winning the widespread favor and resonance of the public with an unprecedented attitude, and its essence is an innovative way for society to inherit and develop the essence of traditional culture. In the new era, the internal mechanisms such as people’s spiritual needs, consumption upgrading, youth cultural identity, and the development and dissemination of online media have formed and boosted the breakthrough and expansion of the “new China-Chic”. On the one hand, “new China-Chic” draws on the essence of China’s excellent traditional culture and becomes unique in social culture with its characteristics of “retro” and “rejuvenation”. On the other hand, in the context of network communication, the “new China-Chic” has expanded from a small crowd to a popular, even globalized, and has become a cultural trend with cutting-edge aesthetic and trendy ideas and highlighting China’s self-confidence and world vision. The content elements of “new China-Chic” enrich and develop the connotation of excellent traditional culture, its communication form has innovated the carrier and method of inheriting and developing excellent traditional culture, and the cultural narrative strategy has promoted the construction and dissemination of excellent traditional culture, showing a distinctive era value and far-reaching cultural significance. With the help of the social and cultural phenomenon of “new China-Chic” to continue to promote the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture, we need to pay attention to the power of the public on the basis of digging the essence and connotation of Chinese traditional culture. Through precise efforts in thought, way, object, technology and other aspects, the “new China-Chic” will radiate continuous vitality and mental outlook, thus igniting the “boiling point” of people’s recognition of traditional culture, and improving cultural confidence and national cohesion.

    Abstract:
    Xi Jinping thought on culture, as a cultural part of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, embodies significant epochal value in the aspects of cultural subject, cultural education, cultural construction, and cultural exchange. General Secretary Xi Jinping particularly emphasizes that Jiangsu Province should “explore new experiences in building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation”. In the field of cultural subject, Jiangsu has continuously demonstrated the people-centered approach, local characteristics, and institutional advantages of cultural construction by conducting various mass propaganda and education activities, initiating the Jiangsu cultural heritage sorting, research, and dissemination project, and deepening cultural system reform. In the field of cultural education, Jiangsu Province has made outstanding achievements in promoting the construction of a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, widely disseminating the Party’s innovative theories, and strengthening the integrated development of ideological and political courses at all levels. In the field of cultural construction, Jiangsu Province has consolidated the overall favorable trend in the ideological field, effectively built the new advantage of media integration, and demonstrated a demonstration effect in promoting the construction of modern Chinese civilization. In the field of cultural exchange, Jiangsu Province has showcased the charm of diverse world cultures in the practice of “introducing” and told the story of “colorful Jiangsu” in the practice of “going out”,promoting cultural exchanges and mutual learning. Looking ahead, to continue the thorough implementation of Xi Jinping thought on culture, it is necessary to adhere to and strengthen the leadership of the Communist Party of China in cultural construction, achieve coordinated efforts between the online space and the real world culture, critically evaluate the implementation path of Xi Jinping thought on culture from a historical, theoretical, perspective, leverage the collaborative efforts of all parties in implementing Xi Jinping thought on culture, and contribute to making Jiangsu a vivid practice ground for Xi Jinping thought on culture and an important showcase of the achievements of modern Chinese civilization.

    Abstract:
    As an externally embedded resource, digital technology has the potential to alleviate challenges in grassroots governance. However, its application is not flawless and often struggles to deeply integrate with grassroots governance scenarios, resulting in the phenomenon of “digital suspension.” Such phenomena manifest as digital technologies hovering above grassroots work, governance entities, public demands, and governance processes. This leads to various issues, including increased digital burdens on governance entities, wastage of governance resources, digital governance involution, and digital formalism. The root causes of digital suspension can be categorized into four aspects. Firstly, the bureaucratic structure of grassroots governance results in rigid management modes that hinder flexible application of digital technologies. Secondly, many digital governance tools fail to adequately consider the actual needs of grassroots settings, making these tools ineffective in practice. Additionally, the digital literacy of grassroots staff and the general public is generally insufficient, lacking the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively utilize digital tools. Finally, the path dependence on traditional governance methods obstructs the deep integration of new technologies. To address these issues, an optimization based on a “de-suspension” path encompassing “structure-tool-subject-object-method” should be pursued. Specific measures include optimizing grassroots governance structures to reduce rigidity caused by bureaucratization, developing digital governance tools that cater to actual grassroots needs, enhancing the digital literacy of governance entities and the public through training and education, and innovating governance methods to establish more efficient and flexible governance mechanisms. Through scientific approaches, we aim to enhance governance efficiency and promote deeper integration of digital technology with grassroots governance, enabling digital technology to truly become an empowering tool for improving grassroots governance.

    Abstract:
    With the development of “AI+” action, generative AI applications (AIGC) represented by ChatGPT, Sora, ERNIE Bot, etc. will gradually realize commercialization and become an important quality of new quality productivity. However, while AIGC improves people’s productivity and creativity, it also raises many data risks. Based on its technical principles, these risks can be divided into stages of illegal data acquisition risk, data security risk, and malicious content generation risk. Agile governance, as a new governance model, is a reflection and transcendence of traditional governance models such as exploratory, responsive, and centralized at that time. By embedding it into AIGC governance, it will have new connotations and characteristics in governance concepts, governance subjects, governance objects, governance tools, and other aspects. AIGC applies agile governance, which not only conforms to the trend of intelligent revolution and implements the requirements of technology for good, but also can overcome the difficulties of traditional governance. The guidance of national policy guidelines also creates a good legal environment for its application. Under the guidance of agile governance, the principle of risk prevention should be implemented and the data risk response mechanism should be strengthened. It is also necessary to strengthen the interpretation power of algorithms and build a data security guarantee system, improve the application generation mechanism, promote technology integration-based rule of law, effectively alleviate AIGC data risks, and empower the development of new quality productivity.

    Abstract:
    Digital governance is a new form of governance that deeply integrates digital technology with social governance to create greater public value. It is a necessary requirement for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. In the process of digital governance, the relationship between government and digital technology has gradually evolved from technology assisted to technology led. This has led to a phenomenon of technology dependence in social governance decision-making, behavior, and system construction, where intelligent decision-making replaces governance subject decision-making, technological behavior replaces governance subject behavior, and platform construction replaces structural process optimization. The ethical risks brought about by technological dependence include the erosion of government power systems, the failure of ethical principles and procedures in governance processes, and unclear attribution of responsibility for governance results. These ethical risks not only hinder the creation of public value through digital governance, but also hinder the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. In practice, we should start from three key variables in the digital governance process, such as data information, governance decision-making, and governance systems, to clarify the boundaries of digital technology embedded in social governance, explore the implementation path of optimizing digital governance, including controlling the access and outflow of social governance data information to promote governance fairness, optimizing the reasonable division of labor between human decision-making and algorithmic decision-making to demonstrate public value, and promoting the co-construction of digital power and government power to clarify governance responsibilities. By regulating the ethical risks brought about by technological dependence, promoting digital governance to create more public value, advancing social fairness and justice, and promoting people’s happy lives, the strategic goal of modernizing the national governance system and governance capacity can be achieved.

    Abstract:
    Common prosperity is the essential requirement of Chinese modernization. As a new form of financial development, whether the development of digital inclusive finance, which integrates digital and inclusive, can provide a starting point for the realization of common prosperity, deserves great attention. For this purpose, the paper first constructs a two-sector model including institutional factors for analysis, and puts forward relevant research hypotheses. Then, using the panel data from 2013 to 2019, based on the core connotation of development and sharing, the index system is constructed to measure the common prosperity level of prefecture-level cities, and the common prosperity effect of digital inclusive finance is tested. The benchmark test found that digital financial inclusion can promote common prosperity, and this effect is more obvious in urban agglomeration areas, and the result is still robust after easing endogeneity, transforming samples, adjusting variables and replacing empirical models for regression. The mechanism analysis shows that the common prosperity effect of digital inclusive finance is enhanced mainly by reducing transaction costs from geographical distance and cultural distance within urban agglomerations. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the common prosperity effect of digital inclusive finance is more obvious in mature urban agglomerations, multi-center urban agglomerations and eastern urban agglomerations. The fractal regression reveals that urban agglomeration policies mainly activate the effects of the depth of digital inclusive finance use and the degree of digitalization on common prosperity. Finally, from the aspects of promoting the development of digital inclusive finance, accelerating the construction of urban agglomeration, formulating policies according to the development characteristics of urban agglomeration, and activating the data factor market of the financial industry, the paper proposes an effective path to enhance the common prosperity effect of digital inclusive finance.

    Abstract:
    The construction of smart cities is an important choice for the high-quality and sustainable development of Chinese cities in the future, and it is also an important way for China to promote new industrialization and develop new quality productivity at the current stage. Combining the technology centrism and humanism of smart city construction, and constructing indicators of smart city elements from capital, people, technology, and space, this article explains the mechanism by which intellectual capital affects and promotes the economic growth of smart cities through four major ways including human quality, intellectual output, technology investment, and openness level. And using panel data from 2002 to 2022, a production function model is constructed to analyze the impact of intellectual capital in 11 core cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt on the economic growth of smart cities. The research results indicate that there are commonalities and characteristics in the future development of different smart cities. The agglomeration of intellectual capital in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has a significant promoting effect on the economic growth of smart cities, and its decomposition factors have heterogeneous effects on the economic growth of smart cities in different regions and at different levels. The level of openness is currently the most important factor. On this basis, countermeasures and suggestions are proposed for the future development of smart city economy in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. We should start from the construction of digital twin cities, the digital development of industries, and the aggregation of digital transformation factors, and implement smart city development strategies guided by different regional and hierarchical city classifications. Guided by the market demand for smart city construction, we should focus on the market transformation of intellectual output, and leverage the influence and driving role of intellectual capital. We also need to promote the effective integration of various elements of intellectual capital, strengthen the integration of “technology + humanism”, and promote the cross-domain circulation of data elements.

    Abstract:
    In the further comprehensive deepening of reforms and advancing Chinese path to modernization, developing new quality productivity is an important focal point to promote high-quality development. Digital transformation, which leverages digital technology, influences the formation and development of enterprises’ new quality productivity by empowering supply chain resilience. Based on panel data from listed companies in China from 2011 to 2022, we investigate the influence of digital transformation on the new quality productivity of enterprises and its underlying mechanism from the perspective of the supply chain. The results indicate that digital transformation can enhance the new quality productivity of enterprises, and this conclusion remains valid after a series of robustness tests and endogeneity analyses. Further heterogeneity analysis reveals that the effect of digital transformation on promoting new quality productivity is more significant in large enterprises, non-state-owned enterprises, enterprises in the eastern region, and high-tech industry enterprises. Mechanism testing results show that digital transformation effectively enhances the resilience of enterprise supply chains through two major pathways: improving supply chain efficiency and strengthening supply chain discourse power, thereby promoting the improvement of enterprises’ new quality productivity. This study enriches theoretical research on digital transformation and enterprises’ new quality productivity. It also offers practical guidance and feasible paths for enterprises to optimize supply chain management and enhance their new quality productivity through digital transformation according to local conditions.
