Dialogue on Civilization and Cultural Comparison

	5	Turn and Construction of an Ecological New Whole-Nation Governance System
		HU Rui-jun
		The COVID-19 pandemic requires adjustment of the national governance model. It is a good attempt to build a new ecological whole-nation governance model patterning patterned after eco-politics. With rich theoretical logic, historical logic, and practical logic, it is of great value for the transformation of the traditional whole-nation system and adding more eco-political attributes and value to it. First, it is to maintain balance and establish a dynamic repair mechanism. Second, it is to maintain diversity and establish a compound governance system. Third, it is to stay resilient and establish a limited liability government. Fourth, it is to stay open and establish an interactive communication model. And the new whole-nation system should revolve around an eco-conscious authority. The reason is that in a new ecological whole-nation system, political authority political authority plays multiple ecological functions. It will ensure a smooth transformation and long-term stability of the state, promote the modernization of national governance, mobilize all resources and pool all efforts for big and key projects, and safeguard the ecological growth of power.

	18	Background, Basic Features and Application Fields of the New Whole-Nation System
		XIE Yi-ze, HU An-gang
		The new whole-nation system is an organizational model and operational mechanism in response to major strategic needs of our country and people. It involves extensive social participation under the leadership of the CPC, take advantage of resources through the government, market and other channels, and pools all efforts to accomplish specific missions. It is an important channel for the transformation of institutional advantages into governance efficiency, and an organic unity of the value logic of collectivism, the institutional logic of socialism, the historic logic of long-term practice, and the realistic logic of “coordinating the overall strategic plan for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and major global changes unseen in a century”. The new whole-nation system is a adjustment of the traditional whole-nation system in the new era, and they are consistent in terms of leadership and value. In terms of resource allocation, participants and external environment, the new system is market-oriented, diverse and open. In the critical period of increasingly fierce international competition and imminent victory of national rejuvenation, we should focus on needs and problems, actively explore ways to implement the new whole-nation system, give full play to the new system, especially in cutting-edge technology, improvement of general well-being, military-civilian integration, and emergency management, so as to modernize China’s governance system and capacity.

Special Zones and Chinese Road

	27	China’s Roadmap for Building an Ecological Compensation System for Cultural Relics
		CAI Wu-jin
		Cultural relic ecology is a biomass and organism revolving around cultural relics and supported by relevant natural, cultural and social environment. To put more efforts into the protection of excellent Chinese traditional culture and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era, it is a strategic choice to attach importance to the ecological protection of cultural relics, promote the ecological innovation of cultural relics, innovate in protection, and beef up protection through innovation. However, with thousands of years of civilization, a tremendous amount of cultural relics, complex cultural relic ecology, and high risk of ecological damage and imbalance of cultural relics present great challenges to the protection and innovation of cultural relic ecology in China. Therefore, it is necessary to build an ecological compensation system for cultural relics, and to pool all efforts for the restoration and development of cultural relic ecology at natural, cultural and societal levels in an institutionalized way, so as to formulate a Chinese roadmap for the protection and innovation of cultural relic ecology. In terms of practical significance, in the construction of an ecological compensation system for cultural relics, it is of particular importance to build a metabolic compensation system for cultural relics based on the protection and innovation of the natural ecology of cultural relics, a functional compensation system for cultural relics based on the protection and innovation of the humanistic ecology of cultural relics, and a structural compensation system for cultural relics based on the protection and innovation of the social ecology of cultural relics.

	37	Identity Construction of New-Generation Migrant Workers through Terministic Screen in Network Media
		WANG Wen-juan, JU Yu-mei
		“Terministic screen” is a specific rhetorical term that accompanies the rhetorical motivation to cover and highlight the reality to guide the audience. Based on the generation and function mechanism of the terministic screen effect, corpus discourse analysis and terministic screen effect analysis framework,this study retrieves the news reports of new-generation migrant workers in the network media, using linguistic strategies of key words, role representation, metaphor, intertextuality and sentiment orientation analysis to study the identity construction process of new-generation migrant workers. The findings are as follows. The words in the news reports form a closely related terministic screen, which constructs the new-generation migrant workers with positive identities such as striver, actor and beneficiary, and negative identities such as marginal people and vulnerable groups. The overall sentiment orientation analysis of the terministic screen indicates that the network media has a positive attitude towards new-generation migrant workers. Terministic screen “foregrounds” the positive identity of new-generation migrant workers, guide and influence the audience’s attitude and behavior through the terministic screen effect formed in discursive communication so as to realize the identification of the network media and audience, and promote the social identity of new-generation migrant workers. Therefore, making good use of “terministic screen” helps to provide a certain theoretical basis for network media to build and enhance the medium discourse power of new-generation migrant workers.

Innovation Economy and Cultural Industry

	47	The Impact Mechanism of Effect of Technological Innovation and Cultural Industrial Aggregation on Urban Residents’ Cultural Consumption
		GU Jiang, WANG Wen-ji
		In an era of consumption upgrade, technological innovation and modern industrial agglomeration have become an important driving force behind China’s consumption. Based on the panel data of 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China from 2008 to 2018, this paper systematically probes into the impact of technological innovation and cultural industry agglomeration on the cultural consumption of China’s urban residents. The research shows that technological innovation and cultural industry agglomeration play a positive role in promoting the cultural consumption of urban residents. The further study also finds that the effect differs in different time and regions: technological innovation shows a stronger influence since 2014, while cultural industry agglomeration shows a weaker influence, and their influence on urban residents’ cultural consumption is non-linear. Technological innovation has more obvious promoting effect on the cultural consumption of urban residents in the eastern and central regions than in northeast and western regions, while cultural industry agglomeration has a more obvious promoting effect on the cultural consumption of urban residents in the western and central regions than in eastern and northeastern regions. In order to further stimulate the cultural consumption of urban residents and prompt the formation of internal circulation of domestic consumption, we should actively promote the deep integration of culture and technology, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of cultural industries, and formulate local solutions to local problems.

	56	Challenges and Remodeling of Modern Cultural Industry System in the “Intelligence +” Era
		XIE Xue-fang, LEI Wen-xuan
		With the wide use of intelligent technology, the “intelligent+” technology has made radical changes in many traditional fields, becoming an important driving force for a new round of technological and industrial revolution. The deep integration of intelligent technology and cultural industry in the “intelligent +” era promotes the adjustment and upgrade of the internal structure of China’s current cultural industry, and gives rise to new models and formats of cultural industry. However, the modern cultural industry system in the “intelligent +” era is confronted with challenges and crises. In terms of supply, the low-end production capacity is not compatible with the large-scale personalized intelligent manufacture models in cultural industry. In terms of circulation, block segmentation is not compatible with the highly open and intelligence-driven connectivity. In terms of consumption, the data value is not compatible with the consumer’s identity in the intelligence era in which he identifies with the products in cultural consumption. In terms of technology, the innovation ability is not compatible with the new technology system dominated by algorithm in cultural industry. In terms of value chain, the low and middle-end ecology is not compatible with China’s aspiration to be a major power in cultural industry. Given the current situation, we should focus on the structure reform of cultural industry from the supply side, realize the intelligent interconnection of cultural elements, make full use of the consumption data to meet individual needs, further integrate intelligence technology and cultural industry, prompt China’s cultural industry to rise to the top in the world, and keep improving the modern cultural industry system in the “intelligence+” era in the process of structural optimization and innovation.

Economic Growth and Financial Innovation

	67	How Infrastructure Investment Affects the Upgrade of China’s Industrial Structure: Theoretical Framework and Empirical Evidence
		XU Xiao-guang, KOU Jia-li, ZHENG Zun-xin
		Infrastructure investment is a significant method in stimulating the economy across countries. Scientific evaluation of the impact of infrastructure on the upgrade of industrial structure, and implementation of differential investment strategies contribute to promoting China’s industrial structure transformation. Focusing on the structural dividend effect of infrastructure investment by China’s provincial panel data from 1994 to 2017, the impact of infrastructure investment on the upgrade of regional industrial structure is empirically tested via the perspectives of temporal and spatial heterogeneity, action paths, and marginal effect differences, etc. The findings are as follow. First, infrastructure investment dramatically promotes the upgrade of regional industrial structure. However, the promotion effect varies by region and stage, and there is a more prominent structural dividend effect of infrastructure investment in the region of eastern China and the time after the 2008 financial crisis. Second, infrastructure investment promotes the upgrade of regional industrial structure through expanding consumption, improving resource allocation, and enhancing technological innovation. Third, the structural dividend effect of infrastructure investment is obviously nonlinear. In detail, the promotion effect of a single infrastructure investment on the upgrade of industrial structure presents a U-type relationship showing a trend of rising after down to the nadir, while in different stages of economic growth and urbanization development, the structural dividend effect of infrastructure investment indicates a fluctuating N-type relationship.

	79	Impact of Digital Economy on Regional Coordinated Development
		ZHONG Wen, ZHENG Ming-gui
		The technological innovation and progress brought about by digital economy is permeable. It can change the proportion and type of production factors, gradually replace traditional backward production factors, remodel the labor division and coordination system, and improve productivity. It is an important basis for regional coordinated development. Based on the survey of the coordinated development of digital economy and regional economy in China with the provincial panel data from 2006 to 2019, this paper makes empirical analysis of the impact of digital economy on regional coordinated development and its working mechanism from different perspectives with fixed effect model, spatial econometric model and mediating effect model. The findings are as follow. Digital economy significantly contributes to coordinated regional development, but there are obvious regional difference and spillover effects. Relevant conclusions are supported by the robustness test and endogenous treatment. The upgrade of industrial structure is an important mechanism of digital economy affecting regional coordinated development. Specifically, digital economy has stronger positive impact on regional coordinated development in eastern regions than in central and western regions. Spatial spillover analysis shows that there are not only exogenous digital economy interaction effects in China, but also endogenous interaction effects of regional coordinated development. The analysis of the conduction mechanism shows that prompting the upgrade of industrial structure is an important mechanism for digital economy to advance regional coordinated development.

	88	Regulation of Cross-Border Data Flows: Core Issues, International Solutions and China’s Response
		FENG Jie-han, ZHOU Meng
		Countries differ in the stringency of the regulations on cross-border data flows due to the difference in their data industry development, privacy protection traditions and concept of national security. At present, there are two representative regulatory schemes of cross-border data flows at global level. One is the unilateral regulation scheme dominated by Europe and the United States; the other is the multi-governance regulation scheme promoted by China and ASEAN. Given their influence in digital trade and personal data protection, developed countries such as Europe and the United States currently dominate the major rules of international data flows. The United States emphasizes the freedom of data flows, while the European Union attaches more importance to privacy protection. However, most developing countries are pressured into accepting relevant provisions and give up opportunities of developing local industries and national security interests. The unilateral regulatory scheme dominated by Europe and the United States results in inequality in the regulation of data flows among countries as well as unfair competition in digital trade. With the successful conclusion of RCEP negotiations in 2020, developing countries for the first time show their leadership on issues concerning fundamental security interests in data flows, and create a multi-governance solution in data flows through cooperation with developed countries. This plan plays down privacy protection issue and gives more discretion to the contracting parties, which is expected to break the long-standing unilateral regulatory pattern dominated by Europe and the United States. However, the wavering stance of Europe and the United States on data flows presents many challenges to RCEP. China needs to flexible in its regulation of data flows and cooperation strategy in digital trade so as to steadily promote the multi-governance between developing and developed countries in data flows.

	98	Protection of the Rights of Online Platform Employees in Case of Occupational Injuries
		AI Lin
		Thanks to the development of network information technology and sharing economy, online platform employment has become an important form of employment. As online platform employees are not subordinate to platform enterprises, they cannot be taken as laborers in the sense of labor law. They are therefore not covered by relevant labor protection and social security policies. As a consequence, a series of social problems arise, especially the disputes resulting from the absence of occupational injury protection. Online platform employees are a disadvantaged group. They engage in jobs of particularly high risk due to the technical rules and the nature of online platform employment. To address this issue, we need to proceed with the theory of legal rights, get an insight into the characteristics of the disadvantaged group of online platform employees, and raise their awareness of rights and empower them to stand up for their legitimate rights in case of work-related injuries. In terms of system design, we can refer to a concept similar to occupational accident insurance, get online platform employees insured based on their economic subordination to their employers. At the same time, we should roll out better policies and regulations regarding tax cuts, scope of protection anddefinition of work-related injuries.

Urban and Rural Construction and Social Governance

	106	Construction of Communicative Action Network in Collaborative Governance from the Perspective of Actualism
		TANG Qiu-wei
		As a new model of social governance, the primary feature of collaborative governance is that it is composed of multiple actors and their actions, and the interaction network between actors is the central nervous system of this organism. Individuals can make decisions and take actions along the continuum of judgment-choice-action. In contrast, multiple actors including individuals and organizations must depend on the communication network as a bridge to realize the effective coordination between decision-making and action. Given this logic, the open exploration from the perspective of activism reveals that there are (but not limited to) three possible choices for the construction of the communication action network. First,, we should build the system of data flow, information flow and knowledge flow of cooperative communication network based on the fluidity of communication. Second, we should build an open, organic and coordinated communication action system based on the flexibility of action. Third, we should construct a continuum of judgment-decision-action to supporting activism communication based on the fault tolerance of choice.

	116	City Size and Urban Well-being：Effect,Evaluation and its Reference for Urban Development
		SU Hong-jian
		The strategy regarding city size is all about the value orientation of urban development. Based on the theory that “enhancing general well-being is the fundamental goal of development”, this paper discusses urban development from the perspective of well-being. With the well-being theory and urban economics, this paper constructs the urban well-being evaluation index to measure urban well-being in China, and examines the relation between city size and urban well-being by analyzing the panel data of Chinese cities at prefecture level and above from 2006 to 2018 with SEM (simultaneous equation model). The findings are as follows. (1) In recent years, the urban well-being in China has been enhanced, and the gap between cities is slightly widened. (2) City size affects urban well-being through agglomeration economy and crowding effect, and there is a significant positive correlation between city size and urban well-being. (3) There is a significant positive correlation between current urban size and the poor urban well-being. Better urban well-being prompts urban development by attracting people to move into cities. Therefore, in terms of the strategy regarding city size, we need to focus on the enhancement of and equalization of urban well-being. Big cities should take advantage of the agglomeration economy and reduce the crowding effect, while small and medium-sized cities should focus on the factors contributing to general well-being, such as social equality, public services, ecological environment.

Social Sciences and Chinese Spirit

	125	Change and Evolution of the CPC Membership Due System over the Past Century
		WANG Kun
		The CPC membership due system is a basic political system that defines the nature of the CPC membership due, represents the membership of the party members, and educates party members to remain true to their original aspiration and always maintain their advanced nature. The change and evolution of the CPC membership due system involves the collection, management, use, report and inspection of the CPC membership dues, which is an indicator of the Chinese revolution and construction as well as independence and great rejuvenation of Chinese nation. The CPC membership due system was established during the new democratic revolution period, which defines that paying the CPC membership due is the basic obligation of the CPC members and the collection standards of CPC membership dues is adjusted according to the revolutionary situation.The above lays a cornerstone for the construction of the CPC membership due system. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, the CPC membership due system was adjusted and improved many times. The membership dues were collected in accordance with the salary level of the members. The basic framework for the construction of the CPC membership due system was established in this period. In the new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, the CPC due system has specified the focus, scope and principle of the use of the party dues, established and improved the mechanism for the collection, use and management of the party dues, opening a new stage in the construction of the CPC membership due system. In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the CPC membership due system has become transparent and information-based. An innovative system has been formed based on the public notification system of the membership dues, dependent on the Internet information technology and aimed at comprehensive and strict governance of the party, ushering in a new era. Over the past century, the CPC membership due system has changed with time, which provides an institutional guarantee for improving the quality of CPC construction, consolidating the foundation of governance and carrying forward the revolutionary spirit in the new era.

	133	Theme Evolution and Artistic Representation of the Thematic Art over the Past Century since the Founding of the CPC
		CHEN Qiong-gui
		The thematic art is the mainstream art form with Chinese characteristics developed under the leadership of the CPC in literary and artistic creation. The thematic art, “recording history with paintings” and reflecting the history of the CPC leading Chinese people to fight for national liberation, independence and rejuvenation, documents a “visual history” of the CPC over the past century. During the period of the new democratic revolution (1921-1949), the theme of national salvation was highlighted, the policy that “literary creation should be politics-oriented” was established, and the creative thought of serving the people was widely accepted and practiced in the liberated areas. In the period of socialist revolution and construction, the CPC and the government led, organized and planned art creation, emphasizing “theme first” and “subject first”. Socialist realism was the only style at that time. In the new era of reform and opening-up and socialism modernization (1978-2011), the literary and art circles managed to get wrongs righted and bring things to order. At that time, “serving the people and socialism” became the guideline for literary and artistic creation, and the thematic art shifted to realism and humanism. With the impact of Western art and commercial culture, the artists were faced with the challenge of how to hold fast to the mainstream value and make modern transformation in thematic art creation. This resulted in the policy of “carrying forward the mainstream value and advocating diversity”. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, national rejuvenation has become the theme of the new era. The thematic art, with focus on “Chinese elements”, “Chinese style” and “Chinese spirit”, has opened a new chapter of socialist literary and artist creation, demonstrating cultural confidence and advancing exchange and mutual understanding among civilizations. The exploration of the history and evolution of the thematic art over the past century helps us better understand the development of Chinese contemporary art.

	142	The Special Situation and Reason of More Poems and Less Essays in Ancient Chinese Women
		ZHANG Xiu-yu
		In ancient China, women wrote far less than men. Before the Tang Dynasty, women writers who had works handed down through the ages accounted for only 1.5% of all writers. Women’s works in the Qing Dynasty account for 70% of all women’s works in ancient China, but none of them has been included in the famous “Anthology of Good Works in the Qing Dynasty(清代文集叙录)”. Compared with women’s poems, the quantity of their proses is next to nothing. There are many factors accounting for this phenomenon. First, due to the limitation of their knowledge as a result of limited education and few opportunities to see the outside world, writing was difficult for women. Those women who were able to write poems and proses were from distinguished families, of great talents, and with extraordinary experience. Second, women’s writing was restricted by its function. Poetry serves better than proses for flattery and ostentatiousness, which made women write more poems than proses. However, proses written by women were mostly of practical style and were of poor quality, and thus few of them was handed down through the ages. Proses written by women were a bit more impressive when a new dynasty replaced an old one. Inadequate printing, and lack of time and energy are also possible reason why women wrote few proses. It is a pity that women in ancient China left behind very few proses.

	151	The Limit of Rationality：the idea of Semiotic Interpretation of construction and Its Implication
		LU Yi
		The idea of “symbolic interpretation” is a contemporary response to the relation between closed text and open understanding. It originated from the semiotic thought of pragmatic philosopher C.S. Pierce, and was put forward by the Italian semiotician Umberto Eco after reflecting on Saussure’s linguistic semiotics. In his book “The Limits of Interpretation”, he divides text interpretation into two stages of, namely, semantic interpretation and symbolic interpretation, and tries to construct the latter into a universal interpretation idea based on semiotic theory. According to Pierce’s theory about the semiotic triadic relation, “the final logical interpretant” developed from the “interpretant” not only functions as the limit of meaning but also plays an important dialectical role in revealing its philosophical level to “interpretazione semiotica”. On the classical philosophical proposition related to the concept of “truth”, Pierce denies the transcendental truth and advocates practice leads to truth. To avoid “over interpretation”, Eco criticizes the subjective interpretation and text-centrism and emphasizes Pierce’s idea of “self-control”. Finally, Eco discovers the creativity in the limit of rationality through narrative practice of parody, and finds a pragmatic approach which must go beyond the text on the basis of the text in the circle between texts and practices.
