Researcher Xin Xiangyang, Party Secretary of the Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院党委书记辛向阳研究员

In his address and keynote report, Researcher Xin Xiangyang, Party Secretary of the Institute of Marxism, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that studying and researching the third volume of *Xi Jinping: The Governance of China* is of great significance for promoting the popularization of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. In this process, we must pay close attention to the two overall situations proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping: the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the changes unseen in a century in the world. These two overall situations are strategic considerations made by General Secretary Xi Jinping from the height of global development and the great cause of human progress to solve the issues concerning the future and destiny of the Chinese nation. Researcher Xin Xiangyang also emphasized that while grasping the two overall situations, one must understand the two profound recognitions mentioned by the General Secretary: first, to profoundly recognize the new features and new requirements brought about by the development and changes in the principal contradiction in Chinese society; second, to profoundly recognize the new contradictions and new challenges brought about by the complex and volatile international environment. Furthermore, he specifically pointed out that besides the "two overall situations", it is also necessary to grasp three other overall situations, namely the "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan"[4], the "Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy"[5], and the new pattern of development.

中国社会科学院马克思主义研究院党委书记辛向阳研究员在致辞和主旨报告中指出，学习和研究《习近平谈治国理政》第三卷对推进习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想大众化具有十分重要的意义。在这个过程中，我们要高度关注习近平总书记提出的中华民族伟大复兴的战略全局和世界百年未有之大变局，这两个大局是习近平总书记从全球发展和人类进步伟业的高度作出的解决中华民族前途命运问题的战略思考。辛向阳研究员还强调，在把握两个大局的同时，一定要领会总书记讲的两个深刻认识，一是要深刻认识我国社会主要矛盾发展变化带来的新特征新要求，二是要深刻认识错综复杂的国际环境带来的新矛盾新挑战。此外他还特别指出，除了“两个大局”，还要把握另外三个大局，即“五位一体”总体布局、“四个全面”战略布局和新发展格局。

During the keynote speech session, Professor Hao Lixin from Renmin University of China summarized the major theoretical contributions of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era from four aspects: focusing on one theme, centering on the two overall situations, promoting the "three transformations" of Marxism[6], and deepening the understanding of the three laws[7]. Professor Li Youxin from Xiangtan University discussed Xi Jinping's inheritance and innovation of Mao Zedong's thought of serving the people from aspects such as clarifying the Party's original aspiration, strengthening the Party's fundamental political stance, establishing standards for the ideals and beliefs of Party cadres, and implementing the people-centered development philosophy and various policies. Professor Xiang Jiuyu from Wuhan University elaborated on the relationship between fairness, justice, and the good life from three aspects: the relationship between the value concept of the good life and fairness and justice, the relationship between the institutional arrangement of the good life and fairness and justice, and the relationship between contemporary Chinese practice and fairness and justice. Researcher Chen Zhigang from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences argued that General Secretary Xi Jinping actively promotes the deep integration of Marxism and fine traditional Chinese culture, for the first time profoundly expounding the unique value and spiritual essence of fine traditional Chinese culture, for the first time deciphering the code for the continuous endurance of Chinese civilization, and for the first time placing fine traditional Chinese culture in an unprecedentedly important position, viewing it as the "root and soul" of national development, thereby promoting a new leap in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context. Professor Wu Xueqin from Anhui University discussed the basic contradictions of society in the New Era from the perspective of historical materialism, and elaborated on these basic contradictions in the context of the international situation of changes unseen in a century. Professor Chen Shifa from Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics argued that the third volume of *Xi Jinping: The Governance of China* is a living Marxist textbook, which writes a new chapter, highlights new requirements, and clarifies new strategies. Researcher Huang Jian, Counselor of the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, summarized the distinctive features of the third volume of *Xi Jinping: The Governance of China* from six aspects: affinity to the people, practicality, contemporaneity, scientificity, globality, and innovativeness. Professor Wang Chunxi from Beihang University discussed the necessity of studying the unique advantages of the Party's democratic centralism, what these unique advantages are, and how to leverage them, and on this basis explored the original contributions of Xi Jinping's important discourses on democratic centralism. Professor Meng Xianping from Guangxi Normal University discussed the basic characteristics of Xi Jinping's important discourses on socialist cultural construction from dimensions such as the cultural dimension, the structural system dimension, and the methodological dimension of research. Professor Yan Shuqun from Shaanxi Normal University elaborated that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a major theoretical innovation in the process of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context from three aspects: historical inheritance, practical development, and theoretical basis. Professor Wang Shiyi from the Party School of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the CPC discussed the theoretical characteristics of the third volume of *Xi Jinping: The Governance of China* from aspects such as faith pursuit, overall capability, problem awareness, system architecture, and political resolve. Professor Xu Zhiyuan from Wuhan University of Technology pointed out that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is both a scientific theoretical system and a logical category system, and that upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is the central category of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New
