5 Unity, Multiplicity, Appearance in Plato, Aristotle, and Husserl
Burt C. Hopkins
Husserl praises highly the evidence of phenomenological criticism, and it is precisely the “de-sedimenting” inquiry in search of this evidence which manifests for Husserl the historicity belong to the mode of givenness of phenomenological cognition. By analyzing meaning fundaments of phenomenological cognition,we know that the methodological superiority of phenomenology as presuppositionless science over both Heidegger’s hermeneutic reformulation of phenomenology and Derrida’s deconstruction of it. However, Husserl’s formulation of phenomenology have to come back to the controversy of phantasma of Plato and Aristotle,through which we clear awareness the historicity proper to the original appearance of unity and appearance of multiplicity in Plato, Aristotle, and Husserl. Finally, Facing a question that beyond metaphysics, the phenomenological self-responsibility is called for,and the foresight of Husserl relative to any other 20th century philosopher is highlighted that absenting this singularity and unity, philosophy will be consigned not only to multiplicity but also to the oblivion that necessarily follows the absence of multiplicity’s limit.

15 On Song Dynasty By Wang Chuanshan and the Knowledge Construction in Modern Japan
LIU Yue-bing
After the World War I, some Japanese scholars organized “The Rise and Fall in History Guild”, selecting and translating “immortal masterpieces”on the rise and fall in history in countries around the world to encourage Japanese people to rejuvenate their country and raise their awareness of the reasons for historical changes. The translated series include On Song Dynasty by Wang Chuanshan (translated as Review on the History of Song Dynasty). The analysis of the publication background of Review on the History of Song Dynasty, and the differences between the original version and its Japanese version would inspire us to think about the significance of the pervasiveness of Japanese translation of Chinese texts, diversity of the contents, and selectiveness in making choices in knowledge construction of modern Japan. Besides, it would also provide us a new perspective in the discussion of the cultural exchange between China and Japan in modern times, especially the ‘Chinese elements” in modern Japanese culture and ideological system.

22 Shaping Men-women Relationship in Modern Japan: from “Being Different” to “Being Harmonious”
ZHOU Xiao-xia
The Imperial Rescript on Education promulgated by the Meiji Government in 1890 is a significant document in the spiritual history of modern Japan. On gender issues, The Imperial Rescript on Education redefined men-women relationship, replacing the traditional Confucian notion of “husbands and wives being different” with a new idea of “husbands and wives being harmonious”. Besides, many intellectual elites interpreted the idea of “husbands and wives being harmonious” from different perspectives and cast new light on this newly defined relationship. The evolution from ‘being different” to “being harmonious” is more a representation of male elites’ dominance of literal interpretation with which they shaped men-women relationship and the ideal women than an epitome of men-women relationship and women issues in modern Japan.

31 Reflection upon the Implementation of the Basic Law of HKSAR and the Policy of “One Country, Two Systems”
CHEN Hong-yi
The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passed at National People’s Congress grants Hong Kong high degree of autonomy. At the same time, the central government retains some important powers to ensure the administration of Hong Kong is in accordance with the principles of state sovereignty and exercise the state sovereignty when necessary. In the political reform and democratization of HKSAR, the central government and the administrative and legislative branches of HKSAR play their own roles, revealing a balance between “one country” and “two systems”, between state sovereignty and the democratic autonomy of HKSAR. However, due to the differences and the underlying contradictions between the “two systems”, there have been very heated debates over the Basic Law of HKSAR in which the opposition’s position is completely different from that of the establishment. The successful implementation of “one country, two systems” policy depends on the harmonious relationship between the two different political systems and cultures rather than opposition to each other under the framework of “one country, two systems”. The success and sustainable implementation of “one country, two systems” policy depends on finding a middle ground between “one country” and “two systems” which balances the principle of state sovereignty and the high degree of autonomy of HKSAR so as to achieve a win-win situation for Hong Kong and mainland.

37 Hong Kong after 2047:“One Country, Two Systems” Or “One Country, One System”
LIN Feng
Is the policy of “one country, two systems” or that of “one country, one system” will be implemented in Hong Kong after 2047? This is a question which has attracted much attention in Hong Kong and is a matter of debate. At present, in terms of the determination of the three major parts of Hong Kong government (namely, judicial, administrative and legislation departments) to implement the principle of “one country, two systems” and its overall practice, the policy of “one country”“two systems” has been implemented essentially in accordance with Hong Kong’s Basic Law. The problem lies in how to balance “one country” and “two systems”. Is it possible for Hong Kong to implement “one country, one system” or should it continue the implementation of “one country, two systems” after 2047? This is choice Hong Kong will be faced with after 2047. Although “one country, one system” policy is possible at technological and institutional level, its implementation is far from easy. In view of the historical development of Hong Kong, it is more reasonable to continue “one country, two systems” policy, and it is the best system for Hong Kong. Of course, the biggest problem for the implementation of “one country, two systems” lies in lack of theoretical support. Only when we develop a theory to support “one country, two systems” can the policy be more sustainable.

44 Twenty-year Review of the Violation of Hong Kong’s Basic Law: Examination, Reflection and Prospect of the Constitutional Functions of Hong Kong’s Courts
YAO Guo-jian
Hong Kong’s Basic Law in the past two decades has been implemented in parallel with the review of the violation of the law by the courts of HKSAR (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region). Through the review, the courts of HKSAR have established their roles in Hong Kong’s new constitutional system, ensured the constitutional legal position of Hong Kong’s Basic Law in HKSAR, safeguarded the basic rights of Hong Kong people, interpreted the relationship between the central government and HKSAR, and engaged in the establishment of the new political system in HKSAR. In this process, the choices of the elements or positions such as the judicial philosophy of activity or humility, discretion priority or order priority in judgment, jurisprudences within and outside HKSAR, and the interest between the central government and HKSAR not only affect the court judgment and decision, but also demonstrate the court’s consideration of its constitutional functions. Sometimes, the aggressive judicial activity, choice of discretion priority, excessive dependence upon the jurisprudence outside HKSAR, and HKSAR-oriented judgment position of Hong Kong’s courts make their judgments not entirely positive to the implementation of Hong Kong’s Basic Law. It is a reasonable choice for the courts of HKSAR in reviewing the violation of Hong Kong’s Basic Law to maintain proper prudence, develop a separate jurisprudence of HKSAR, and maintain balance between discretion and order, between the interest of the central government and HKSAR.

ZHOU Jian-xin, HU Peng-lin
The year 2016 witnessed a large number of extensive and fruitful researches on China’s cultural industry, which mainly dwelt on the modes, formats, theories, and policies of cultural industry, and Internet cultural industry. The researches are featured by the following characteristics: cultural theories are stressed while industry theories are neglected; business modes are highly praised while industry modes are deficient; peripheral policies are emphasized while culture-specific policies are ignored; general strategies are upheld while execution policies are deficient; the researches on cultural industry formats emphasize traditional formats but neglect new ones; the cultural industry periodicals are small in number and low in level.

HUA Jian
In urban cultural construction, Shanghai needs to grasp at the opportunities presented by three major global trends and several significant strategic initiatives at national level, and aim to build itself into a global cultural center and a representative of a culturally powerful country. The priories of work are as follows: with the combination of the construction of a cultural innovation capital with that of a port in connection with the world, and on the basis of an innovative city and a city of EXPO, Shanghai needs to develop itself into a major cultural center, which is most innovative worldwide and best representative of the integration of Chinese culture and world civilization. It also needs to build itself into a world-class major megalopolis strong economically and culturally, a cultural capital going beyond the industrial age and the post-industrial age, and a global cultural center which shifts its focus from material production, physical capital and advantage of size to global influence, knowledge capital, and innovation.

75 The Development, Problems and General Trend of China’s Cultural Assets and Equity Exchanges
Zhou Zheng-bing
Since they made their first appearance in China in 2009, cultural assets and equity exchanges have proven controversial. Currently, stamp coin cards have replaced the service of dividing up shares of art works and become favorites at the capital market. However, it is against this context that cultural assets and equity exchanges have stepped into an ambiguous situation in the game between administration and market forces, and hence gone beyond the supervision of the securities regulatory authorities and are facing certain financial risk. However, Shenzhen Cultural Assets and Equity Exchange at the same time has developed new ideas out of conventional rules. Based on the bottom line of the law and its self-positioning, it explores through reform and innovation to construct a multiple-level capital market in cultural field, and is becoming an important accelerator for promoting China’s cultural industry. Therefore, this paper advises that the government should actively guide this new trend and through competition make Shenzhen Cultural Assets and Equity Exchange a leader in the cultural assets and equity exchange market. In the meantime, the government is also advised to tight regulation on stamp coin cards to prevent financial risks. Only with these efforts can cultural assets and equity exchanges make a giant leap from chaos to order.

81 2016 Annual Report on China’s Philosophical Studies
KANG Yu
In 2016, China’s philosophical studies mainly dwelt on the study of creative transformation and innovative development, theoretical studies in traditional domains, comparative studies between Chinese and the Western philosophy and inclusiveness of each other, and the relationship between Chinese philosophy and Marxist philosophy. On the basis of inheritance, originality, systematic and professional studies, and conformity to national characteristics and the times, academics developed new ideas out of classics, and brought the development of Chinese philosophy much closer to the real world. The philosophical studies in 2016 focused on social reality, reflective?criticism, theoretical system integrity, inclusive perspective and problem awareness. The remarks made by Xi Jinping, the general party secretary of the CPC (Communist Party of China) Central Committee at the symposium of philosophy and social sciences was the biggest event which guided this year’s philosophical studies. There is a broad consensus that academics should respect tradition, reflect upon tradition, and make Chinese philosophy conform both to the times and to Chinese characteristics. The philosophical studies in 2016, through exploration and debate and creation out of conventional ideas, have opened up an enormous new space for idea interpretation and vision of problems, which keeps bringing vitality to the discipline development.

94 The Classical Origin of Modern Enlightenment Subjects
LIU Sen-lin
Dialectics of Enlightenment uses modern subjectivity, tool rationality, and interest exchange principles to interpret Homer’s epics. It diminishes the role of gods but highlights rational choices of humans, and even takes Odysseus as the prototype of modern bourgeoisie. It emphasizes sadness and fear, and anger and slaughter out of these feelings, revealing negative emotions and subjectivity are inseparable. Besides, it stresses reconciliation between the classical subject and nature. Through this interpretation, Dialectics of Enlightenment extends enlightenment criticism to the strategies of ancient Greek mythologies at the beginning of Western civilization, which can be suspected as over-interpreting the classics and obviously make the interpretation quite modern, and at the same time pays homage to the classical subject of classical characteristics, revealing the classical subject is more lovely, real and hopeful than modern bourgeoisie. It is biased only to criticize Dialectics of Enlightenment for using modern logic to interpret classic spirit. We should also see the positive sides of this strategy: it returns to the original state, presents the real look of human life, and highlights ills of modern civilization. It is of positive significance to trace the enlightenment subject to Odysseus.

104 CHEN Yun’s Inheritance and Development of MAO’s Thoughts on Opening up to the Outside World in New China
WU Ke-ming
CHEN Yun’s thoughts on opening up to the outside world since the founding of new China are the results of his theoretical thinking and practices as a long-time leader in China’s opening-up policy. They were mainly reflected in acceleration of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics with an open-door policy, emphasis on investigation and study to actively and carefully use the achievements of capitalist civilization, and stress adaptability, autonomy and systematic aspects of opening up to the outside world. He obviously inherited and developed MAO Zedong’s glorious ideas of opening up to the outside world such as “leaning to one side foreign policy”, from “the middle ground” to the differentiation of “the three worlds”, and taking advantage of the achievements of capitalist civilization through the open-door policy. These precious ideas are still worthy of our study and use for reference. They will definitely play a bigger role in transforming our foreign economic development mode, improving our open economy, making us more resilient to global economic risks, and vigorously advancing reform and opening up.

116 The United Front and the “Four Comprehensives”: Coordination and Innovation of Strategies
QIN Hui-yin
The “Four Comprehensives” provide strategic objectives, system dynamics, legal and political guarantee for the work of our Party and state. The United Front is an important magic weapon for the success of the new democratic revolution, the socialist construction and reform and opening-up in China. As an important part of national governance system and a way of promoting the modernization of state governance, the United Front should play its functions of political consultation, political participation, democratic supervision, intelligence intensification, extensive contacts, and interests coordination to push forward the implementation of the “Four Comprehensives (comprehensively deepen reform, comprehensively govern the nation according to law, comprehensively strictly govern the Party, and comprehensively build a moderately prosperous society) ”. At the same time, the United Front must adapt to new situation, reinforce self-construction through reform and innovation so as to better serve the function of promoting the implementation of the “Four Comprehensives”.

123 Recent Depreciation of RMB Foreign Exchange Rate, its Effects and Counter-measures
LI Chong
Since June of 2015, RMB has depreciated against the US dollar largely because China’s financial programs are burdened with large deficits, vast amounts of hot money leaves China, and people expect the depreciation of RMB. The depreciation of RMB against the US dollar does not have obvious impact upon China’s import and export, but it increases the burden to pay back foreign debts, and leads to the loss over foreign exchange reserve. However, as China’s economy still grows at a moderate rate, our economy still has current-account surpluses, and we have sufficient foreign exchange reserve, RMB will not devalue against the US dollar by a large margin. Even so, in accordance with currency management principles, China’s monetary authorities should not deliberately hold RMB exchange rate against the US dollar at a certain level but allow RMB exchange rate against the US dollar change according to supply and demand so as to maintain the flexibility of RMB exchange rate against the US dollar to prevent overestimation of RMB exchange rate against the US dollar. In the meantime, we have to crack down on the underground banks and reinforce the management of foreign exchange payments to slow down the devaluation of RMB against the US dollar.

130 Regional Public Goods and the Lantsang-Mekong Cooperation Initiative
HUANG He, YANG Hai-yan
In recent years, the importance of regional public goods in regional cooperation has received increasing attention, and has become a new perspective to study the international public goods. Chinese President Xi Jinping has pointed out that China is willing to provide public goods to the world. The Lantsang-Mekong Cooperation Initiative is china’s important practice in sub-region to provide public goods, and it is also an important measure for China to strengthen the political, economic and social relations with neighboring countries. But the lack of regional public goods has become one of the obstacles restricting development of the Lantsang-Mekong Cooperation Initiative. After providing a model of regional public goods supply cooperation, this paper makes an analysis of the acceleration effect of regional public goods to the Lantsang-Mekong Cooperation Initiative and also discusses the characteristics of regional public goods in this region, putting forward some thoughts on China's participation in sub-regional public goods supply.

138 Geo-politics and Geo-economics of Meikong Waterway: Plights and Ways out
LU Guang-sheng
Meikong waterway is the “golden waterway”, “strategic passage”, and “environmental corridor” linking China and the countries in the lower reaches of Meiking River. Although China and the countries in the lower reaches of Meikong River have been expanding cooperation in shipping economy, security, and regulation, and have attained some achievements, there exist geo-political and geo-economical problems such as lack of mutual political confidence and latent hazards in security. Besides, currently, we are confronted with the recession in shipping economy, the Strategies of the Mekong River Commission (2016—2020) step up the construction of the shipping connection, and Burma is considering to become a member state of the Meikong River Commission. These changes pose a huge challenge for China to implement Lantsang-Mekong Cooperation Initiative on Indo-China Peninsula, establish interconnection on Meikong River, and further cooperation in water resources in this region. In the future, China and the countries in the lower reaches of Meikong River should focus on the following aspects: specify the content of the construction of the new shipping waterway including strategies, economy, security, and environment through setting the service goal of the new shipping waterway; bring into play the roles of the central governments, local governments, corporations, and research institutions in the construction of the new shipping waterway; integrate the construction of the new shipping waterway into Meikong’s former waterway development projects; balance the geo-political and geo-economical competition-cooperation relations among the Mekong River Commission, countries outside the region, and international organizations; to upgrade the shipping waterway of Meikong River in various ways such as “promoting politics through economy”, and “promoting emotions through economy”.

146 Style, Achievements and Limitation of Guan Zhui Bian
Wang Xian-pei
Guan Zhui Bian is a work of profound thought and great content. For years, the academics have launched many books on it and yielded fruitful achievements. However, as to whether Guan Zhui Bian has established an independent theoretical system and whether it has a unique hermeneutic methodology, scholars have different views. Guan Zhui Bian is the note the author took when studying the ten classics of ancient China. Its author, Professor Qian Zhongshu, did not aim to study the classics or the commentaries on them by later writers. Instead, he expressed his creative ideas on literature, history, and philosophy triggered by the study of the classics and his perspectives on life. We need to gain a clear understanding of the style of Guan Zhui Bian and the scholastic style of its author, which will help us make a realistic and proper evaluation of its academic value. Either overestimating its academic value and turning a blind eye to the limitation because of its style or belittling it in general without specific evidence, none of them reveals the scientific attitude of seeking truth from the facts.
