Correctly Grasp the Great Significance of Xi Jinping’s Thought on State Governance in Advancing the Process of Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context

正确把握习近平治国理政思想在推进马克思主义中国化进程中的伟大意义

Participants pointed out that the new concepts, ideas, and strategies for state governance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, as the contemporary development of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, not only respond to several important issues in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context but also endow it with new theoretical implications. Xi Jinping’s thought on state governance has, on the whole, put forward the concept and content of a 21st-century Sinicized Marxism, and has deepened the basic content of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context from the three aspects of Marxist philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism.

与会者指出，以习近平同志为核心的党中央治国理政新理念新思想新战略作为马克思主义中国化的现当代发展，不仅回应了马克思主义中国化中的若干重要问题，而且赋予了马克思主义中国化新的理论意蕴。习近平治国理政思想从总体上提出了21世纪中国化马克思主义的概念和内容，并从马克思主义哲学、政治经济学、科学社会主义三个方面深化了马克思主义中国化的基本内容。

Correctly Understand the Rich Connotations of Xi Jinping’s Thought on State Governance

正确理解习近平治国理政思想的丰富内涵

Experts elaborated from different angles and levels, including fairness and justice, law-based governance, the united front, cultural confidence, and the labor theory of value. Professor Guo Jianning of Peking University believed that the basic content of the new concepts, ideas, and strategies for state governance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core is constituted by multiple aspects: leading national rejuvenation with the Chinese Dream; taking upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics as the theme; taking the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy as the strategic layout; leading development with the Five Development Concepts [1]1 The Five Development Concepts (五大发展理念) refer to innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and sharing, introduced by the CPC leadership in 2015 to guide national development strategy.; the people-centered development thought; military and national defense construction centered on a strong military capable of winning battles; and the diplomatic and international development strategy with a community with a shared future for mankind and global governance as its main content.

与会专家从公平正义、依法治国、统一战线、文化自信、劳动价值论等不同角度和不同层面进行了阐述。北京大学郭建宁教授认为，以中国梦引领民族复兴、以坚持和发展中国特色社会主义为主题、以“四个全面”为战略布局、以五大发展理念引领发展、以人民为中心的发展思想、以强军能打胜仗为核心的军队和国防建设、以人类命运共同体与全球治理为主要内容的外交和国际发展战略这多个方面构成了以习近平同志为核心的党中央治国理政新理念新思想新战略的基本内容。

Advance the New Practice of the New Concepts, Ideas, and Strategies for State Governance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its Core in Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context

推进以习近平同志为核心的党中央治国理政新理念新思想新战略在马克思主义中国化中的新实践

Professor Qin Xuan of Renmin University of China believed that advancing the adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese context must focus on updating ideas and methods. This requires both strengthening research on the basic theories of Marxism and accurately grasping Marxism’s value orientation of insisting on realizing human liberation and safeguarding the people’s interests; upholding Marxism’s critical rationality to critique and deconstruct unreasonable phenomena in the real world; continuing to develop Marxism’s constructive rationality to point the way for humanity’s future; and unifying Marxism’s value rationality and instrumental rationality in the practical process of understanding and transforming the world.

中国人民大学秦宣教授认为，推进马克思主义中国化必须注重思路和方法的更新，既要加强马克思主义基础理论的研究，准确把握马克思主义坚持实现人民解放维护人民利益的价值取向；秉承马克思主义主义的批判理性，对现实世界不合理现象进行批判和解构；继续发扬马克思主义的建构理性，对人类的未来指明方向；把马克思主义的价值理性和工具理性统一于认识世界和改造世界实践过程中。

Study and Research the New Concepts, Ideas, and Strategies for State Governance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its Core, and Advance the Adaptation of Marxism to the Chinese Context

学习和研究以习近平同志为核心的党中央治国理政新理念新思想新战略，推进马克思主义中国化

Combining China’s concrete practice, participants discussed theoretical research and practical exploration. Researcher Jin Minqing pointed out that one of the basic principles for grasping the new concepts, ideas, and strategies for state governance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core is to take Marxism as the guide to solve practical problems, and to continuously uphold and develop Marxism by solving practical problems. Chen Yalian, Associate Researcher and Director of the Research Office for the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics of the Research Department on Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context of the Institute of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, summarized the progress of the discipline of research on adapting Marxism to the Chinese context over the past year and raised several issues to be further resolved in current discipline construction and research.

与会者结合中国的具体实践，从理论研究与实践探索方面展开讨论。金民卿研究员指出，把握以习近平同志为核心的党中央治国理政新理念新思想新战略的基本原则之一，就是要以马克思主义为指导来解决实际问题，通过解决实际问题来不断坚持和发展马克思主义。中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院马克思主义中国化研究部中国特色社会主义理论体系研究室主任陈亚联副研究员总结了过去一年马克思主义中国化研究学科进展情况，提出了当前学科建设和研究中有待于进一步解决的几个问题。
