    Synergistic Logic of Chinese Modernization and Modern Chinese Civilization from the Perspective of the Unity of Universality and Particularity
    Jiangping SHEN, Yumeng XIA
    2025, 27 (3):  1-10.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.001
    Abstract ( 33 )   HTML ( 3)   PDF (584KB) ( 22 )  

    Since the Industrial Revolution, humanity has driven the evolution of civilization through modernization practices. The choices of modernization pathways have also exhibited diversity due to the progression of human civilization, collectively highlighting the development and progress of human society. Chinese modernization and modern Chinese civilization draw upon the general laws of global modernization and human civilization development with an open and inclusive approach. At the same time, they sustain cultural identity through renewal and innovation, demonstrating the unique charm of the Chinese nation. Thus, they are inherently interconnected. Specifically, Chinese modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern characteristics, while Chinese civilization provides the cultural foundation for Chinese modernization. They are mutually reinforcing, exhibiting intrinsic coupling from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. From the perspective of the unity of universality and particularity, a new model for human advancement nurtured by Chinese modernization and the Chinese nation represents a groundbreaking civilizational form. This form achieves renewal by integrating tradition and modernity, fosters innovation by blending Chinese characteristics with universal global elements, and signifies a “universal civilization form” that opens a new chapter for the future.

    Abstract ( 36 )   HTML ( 6)   PDF (609KB) ( 27 )  

    The modernization of science and technology is the key to the full revitalization of northeast China. From the perspective of Chinese modernization, historically, the Communist Party of China (CPC) carried forward and developed the practice of relying on science and technology to achieve modernization of the country, the historical experience of which reveals the importance and essence of modernization of science and technology for the full revitalization of northeast China in the new era; theoretically, the five features of Chinese modernization serve as a theoretical rationale, manifesting the interaction between modernization of science and technology and northeast China’s full revitalization; practically, the “four orientations” of high-level self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology have clarified the logical approach to relying on scientific and technological innovation to promote the comprehensive revitalization of northeast China. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the interaction between the modernization of science and technology and northeast China’s full revitalization from the three dimensions of history, theory, and practice, for it can help us thoroughly understand the scientific and practical significance made by northeast China’s full revitalization for Chinese modernization.

    Analysis and Resolution of “Data Domination” from the Perspective of Modernity
    Chengwei WEN, Yangpeng WANG
    2025, 27 (3):  19-26.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.003
    Abstract ( 30 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (589KB) ( 23 )  

    Data technology has not only created the era of digital economy, but also caused people’s dependence on data technology and the placement and regulation of data technology, forming a “data domination” that may disrupt people’s autonomy. The formation of “data domination” is a process of rational self-development and self-alienation, in which the technological rationality of modernity directly leads to this inevitable result. From the rational dimension of modernity, it is the rebellion of dataism against modernity; from the practical dimension of modernity, it is out of control of data power in modern society. Therefore, the essence of “data domination” is the concrete manifestation of the crisis of data modernity. To resolve the “data domination”, the rationality of data technology should be combined with humanism and the system of data power should be regulated so as to make data technology serve the modernization goal of free and all-round development of human beings.

    Moral Enhancement and God Machine: A Defense Independent of Free Will
    Zining ZHANG, Yang LIU
    2025, 27 (3):  27-34.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.004
    Abstract ( 29 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (558KB) ( 19 )  

    The God Machine, an extreme proposal for moral enhancement introduced by Savulescu and Persson, has been criticized by scholars such as Harris and Sparrow for allegedly depriving individuals of free will, thereby lacking moral legitimacy. Two possible strategies have been proposed to defend the God Machine: first, denying that it impairs free will; second, rejecting the necessary connection between free will and moral responsibility. The first strategy is inadequate, plagued by weak arguments and category errors. In contrast, the revisionist theory supporting the second strategy effectively addresses these shortcomings, tackling challenges such as potential negative consequences, slippery slopes and manipulation, thereby providing a stronger defense for the God Machine.

    Digital Economy and Green Poverty Reduction in China: Effect Test and Mechanism Analysis
    Yingzhi XU, Xiuyi SHI, Yong SHEN
    2025, 27 (3):  35-46.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.005
    Abstract ( 33 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (723KB) ( 32 )  

    As an important driving force for promoting the development of new quality productivity, digital economy plays an important role in achieving China’s green poverty reduction. Based on the panel data from 30 provincial-level regions in China from 2006 to 2020, an econometric model with a two-way fixed effect model as the core is constructed to empirically test the impact and in-depth mechanisms of digital economy on China’s green poverty reduction. The results find that digital economy has a significant promoting effect on China’s green poverty reduction. The degree of fiscal decentralization has a significant inverted U-shaped effect on the former. Digital economy can promote China’s green poverty reduction by improving the allocation level of labor and capital factors and enhancing the technological innovation level. There is significant regional economic heterogeneity in the impact of digital economy on China’s green poverty reduction, which is manifested in the fact that its impact increases with the improvement of regional economic levels.

    Study on the Impact of Digital Economy Development on Enterprises’ Export Expansion:An Intermediary Effect Based on Uncertainty
    Hebin SHEN, Danning ZHANG
    2025, 27 (3):  47-57.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.006
    Abstract ( 35 )   HTML ( 3)   PDF (700KB) ( 26 )  

    Starting from the intermediary effect of uncertainty, the impact of digital economy development on the scale and spatial distribution of enterprise trade is explored. Combining digital economy theory, the information theory, and the uncertainty theory, it is believed that digital economy development promotes enterprises’ export expansion through information acquisition and reducing uncertainty. In terms of empirical analysis, based on the China Customs Database, China Industrial Enterprise Database and China Urban Statistical Yearbook, the spherical distance between the region and Hangzhou as well as the number of post and telephone offices and fixed telephones in 1984 are used as the instrumental variables for digital economy development. It is shown that digital economy development can significantly promote the growth of enterprises’ export scale, optimize enterprises’ export trade margin and export volume-price structure. After considering the robustness of the digital economy index, zero trade issues, and endogenous factors, the empirical results are still robust. The analysis of the action mechanism shows that digital economy development mainly promotes enterprises’ export expansion by reducing uncertainty. The analysis of heterogeneity results shows that due to the differences in products, enterprises and cities, the driving effect of digital economy development on enterprises’ export expansion is also not the same. The research findings provide strong empirical evidence for understanding the mechanism by which digital economy development drives enterprises’ export expansion.

    Air Pollution Governance and Green Transition in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region: Multi-level Perspective Analysis
    Jiang WANG, Lijuan WANG
    2025, 27 (3):  58-68.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.007
    Abstract ( 42 )   HTML ( 8)   PDF (2736KB) ( 13 )  

    Based on the multi-level perspective theory, the transition and evolution model is constructed by using the Agent modeling technology and system dynamics method to study the governance of air pollution and green transition in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The results show that industrial restructuring, as a new leading mechanism, replaces the traditional industrial sources pollution control system, works together with regional collaborative governance, coal combustion control, motor vehicle pollution control, dust control, etc., to promote air pollution control and green transition in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Factors such as governance policies, governance costs, and industrial scales have different impacts on the support of agent actors such as regime or niches. Governance policies are positively correlated with industrial restructuring, and negatively correlated with regional collaborative governance. Governance costs are negatively correlated with industrial restructuring, and positively correlated with regional collaborative governance. Industrial scales have a positive correlation with industrial restructuring, an U-shaped relationship with coal-fired governance, and an inverted U-shaped relationship with traditional governance systems. Environmental factors such as SO2 emissions, coal and gasoline consumption have a significant impact on industrial restructuring and regional collaborative governance. More green and friendly environment has a significant promoting effect on industrial restructuring and regional collaborative governance. The findings may provide an analytical tool and method for the process of regional air pollution control and green transition and evolution through model construction and simulation analysis.

    Management Process of Interdepartmental Collaboration in Local Governments from the Perspective of Collaborative Performance
    Guoxian BAO, Chuanjian CAO
    2025, 27 (3):  69-79.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.008
    Abstract ( 38 )   HTML ( 2)   PDF (750KB) ( 18 )  

    The management process of interdepartmental collaboration is a crucial factor influencing collaborative performance. Existing studies have primarily focused on specific processes, lacking an integrated analysis of the overall management process. A qualitative meta-analysis approach is employed to study 20 cases of interdepartmental collaboration in China. It is found that interdepartmental collaborative management in the Chinese context comprises six fundamental processes: collaborative planning, collaborative organizational structure establishment, collaborative drivers, collaborative coordination mechanisms, collaborative control mechanisms, and organizational learning. Organizational structure establishment achieves its functionality through political management, horizontal management processes and the construction of drivers, and enhances overall adaptability through the learning mechanism of management processes. Interdepartmental collaboration achieves the maximization of collaborative performance through the effective operation of four management mechanisms, thereby achieving governance objectives.

    Whole Process Learning:An Equilibrium Continuum for Governmental Organizations Toward Crisis Learning Based on the Case Study of the Major Explosion in J Province
    Yin LONG
    2025, 27 (3):  80-88.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.009
    Abstract ( 28 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (721KB) ( 11 )  

    Whole-process crisis learning for governmental organizations to maintain continuity is one of the effective tools to solve governance dilemmas and trigger policy changes. An analytical framework of “equilibrium continuum of whole process learning” is proposed based on a longitudinal case study of crisis learning by governmental organizations before, during and after the crisis of the major explosion in J Province, to explain and depict the black box of the crisis learning process of Chinese governmental organizations during the whole process of the crisis. It is found that the pre-crisis learning process is experience application and emergency preparedness; the mid-crisis learning process is behavioral adjustment and macro-regulation; and the post-crisis learning process is investigation and accountability and institutional change. The balanced continuum of crisis learning is reflected in the simultaneous and balanced occurrence of crisis and crisis learning process, the balanced way of single-loop learning and double-loop learning, the balanced goal of policy change and effective crisis response, the continuity of pre-crisis, mid-crisis and post-crisis learning in the time dimension, the continuity of mutual boosting in the space dimension, and the continuity of single-loop learning and double-loop learning approaches. The findings not only enrich the theoretical marginal map of crisis learning in China’s localized context, but also paint a more detailed picture of the action strategies and details of how governmental organizations conduct the crisis learning processes before, during, and after a crisis.

    Linkage Adaptation: An Inspiration Mechanism for Farmers’ Subjectivity in Rural Vitalization
    Jianyu ZHANG, Xiaoqin LIAO
    2025, 27 (3):  89-97.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.010
    Abstract ( 25 )   HTML ( 2)   PDF (786KB) ( 21 )  

    Inspiring farmers’ subjectivity is the practical foundation for comprehensively promoting rural vitalization. Taking the practice of “the presence of farmers’ subjectivity” in Ao Village as a case study, and based on the analytical framework of “linkage adaptation”, it is found that the inspiration of farmers’ subjectivity is a process in which external forces and internal factors synergistically influence and mutually construct each other. The converging influence of external promotion mechanisms, the joint shaping of internal adjustment mechanisms, and the standardized operation of practical expression mechanisms are all necessary links for the effective inspiration of farmers’ subjectivity. The deep root of the effectiveness of the “linkage adaptation” stimulation mechanism lies in the fact that it follows a normative logic which is compatible with the local social context and matches the needs of rural development. Systematic deepening of the CPC leadership, accurate identification of the key issues, the main perspective of humanistic care, the effective aggregation of synergistic forces and the full acceptance of the main differences are the comprehensive guarantee, prerequisites, core of the action, basic path and rational care for the effective inspiration of farmers’ subjectivity. The dissemination and popularization of the inspiration mechanism and the rational penetration of its function logic can provide inspirations for other rural areas to tap the endogenous power and realize the endogenous development.

    Challenges and Responses of Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Punishment System for False Information Crimes
    Jianmin YANG
    2025, 27 (3):  98-105.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.011
    Abstract ( 26 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (549KB) ( 29 )  

    With the large-scale application of generative artificial intelligence, how to deal with the risk of inaccurate information it brings has become an important social issue. The evaluation results show that in the application scenario of generative artificial intelligence as the subject of false information fabrication, the current regulatory system for false information crimes cannot effectively respond due to the addition of risk behavior types. In the selection of governance plans, the limited autonomy of technology determines that the governance path that endows generative artificial intelligence with limited legal personality is not effective, and the regulatory focus should still be on the behavioral subjects behind generative artificial intelligence. Under the regulatory concept of balancing the protection of legal interests and the protection of freedom, a multidimensional co-governance criminal governance plan should be adopted. In the entire process of risk management, the automatic generation of information watermark identification is used as a link, adhering to the regulatory approach of prioritizing preexisting laws and criminal law protection, and forming a top-down linkage between different entities. In terms of generation dimension, information identification obligations should be imposed on service providers, and in the dimension of dissemination, identification elimination behaviors should be appropriately criminalized in order to tighten the criminal law net.

    Typological Analysis of Causation Issues in Civil Compensation Litigation for Market Manipulation in China’s Securities Market
    Zhengyang FAN
    2025, 27 (3):  106-114.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.012
    Abstract ( 25 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (608KB) ( 18 )  

    Compared with the frequent application of administrative penalties, civil compensation litigation for manipulating the securities market has been in a state of virtual absence for a long time. The main reason for this situation is that the causal relationship between manipulative behaviors and damage results is difficult to determine in the judicial proceedings. The concept of market manipulation is replete with numerous forms developed based on different classification criteria. A meaningful typology should be established according to the different approaches to the causation issue. This should depend on the way in which manipulative behaviors affect investors’ investment decisions and losses. It is a reasonable arrangement to classify and discuss the categorization in terms of trade-based manipulation and information-based manipulation. In the trade-based manipulation, price manipulation and volume manipulation should be reasonably distinguished based on the actual time point when the causal relationship between the transaction and the loss is established. In the information-based manipulation, the basic connotation should be clarified first, and then the causal relationship issues should be addressed according to the essential characteristics of its behavior.

    Jiashu XIE, Wenhua ZHANG
    2025, 27 (3):  123-130.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.014
    Abstract ( 24 )   HTML ( 5)   PDF (584KB) ( 19 )  

    The deepening development of digital technology has promoted the digital transmutation of the patterns of good life, showing the digital forms of good life. The digital transmutation of good life is the inevitable trend and the requirement of the times to realize the people’s aspiration for good life in the digital era. The digital transmutation of good life contains fourfold directions, including intelligent reconstruction of power, digital reorganization of elements, digital reconstruction of scenarios, and reshaping of governance integration, which has a systematic, global and long-term far-reaching impact on the life of modern society in terms of the support of power, the composition of elements, the integration of scenarios, and the empowerment of governance. On the new journey, we should be good at grasping the momentum of the era of digital development, systematically grasping the dialectical logic among the fourfold directions, deeply exploring the new patterns of good life with the in-depth coupling of power, elements, scenarios and governance, and deepening the practical rationale for the construction of digital good life.

    Qingnian ZHAO, Ke LIU
    2025, 27 (3):  131-141.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.015
    Abstract ( 33 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (733KB) ( 11 )  

    The system theory is introduced to construct the theoretical presupposition that the scale, structure and quality of higher education could synergize to promote China’s economic development, and the panel data of 31 provinces and regions in China from 2005 to 2019 are empirically analyzed. The results show that the synergy of higher education’s system elements has a significant positive impact on regional economic growth; The impact of the synergy of higher education’s system elements on regional economic growth shows a regional heterogeneous pattern of “high in the south and low in the north”; The process of synergizing higher education’s system elements to promote regional economic growth exists in the process of upgrading industrial structure, scientific and technological innovation output, accumulation of human capital, and the process of promoting regional economic growth; There are four mechanisms of industrial structure upgrading, scientific and technological innovation output, human capital accumulation and consumption level enhancement in the process of promoting regional economic growth through the synergy of higher education’s system elements; There is mainly a “competitive relationship” among provinces and regions in the process of promoting economic growth through higher education. The findings can provide theoretical and policy references for promoting the construction of China’s higher education as a strong nation to enable the high-quality economic development.

    Chronological Compilation and Meta-analytic Testing of Entrepreneurship Education in China:Empirical Evidence Based on Big Data from the Time Perspective
    Ying FU, Jianfeng JIA, Manting CAO
    2025, 27 (3):  142-150.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.03.016
    Abstract ( 22 )   HTML ( 1)   PDF (819KB) ( 8 )  

    Entrepreneurship education has been both a catalyst for the transformation and development of universities and a kinetic force for the construction of innovative countries. Management and education scholars have conducted many entrepreneurship education studies based on practice summaries. However, systematic, comprehensive, and highly credible sorting and summarizing are lacking. Accordingly, the time factor is added into entrepreneurship education research to study entrepreneurship education and explore its effects from the process evolutionary perspective. Using big data crawling technology and manual coding, the development trajectory of entrepreneurship education in China is reproduced from a large amount of historical data. In doing so, the gap of the chronology of entrepreneurship education in China is filled and a more objective division of entrepreneurship education stages is conducted. Further utilizing 51 empirical studies and 240 957 samples, the meta-analytic research methodology is used and the findings reveal that the effect of entrepreneurship education on college students’ entrepreneurial intention is more significant after 2015, portraying the role played by 2015 in the historical process of China’s entrepreneurship education with the nature of a turning point.
