Special Zones and Chinese Road

	5	Self-Construction of Chinese Political Philosophy from the Perspective of “Two Integrations”
		ZHOU Feng
		The proposal of the “Two Integrations” marks a methodological revolution in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, opening up a new theoretical space for the development of Chinese political philosophy. From the perspective of the “Two Integrations”, a systematic examination of the theoretical foundation and practical path of the independent construction of Chinese political philosophy reveals that the “First Integration” establishes the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, breaks the shackles of dogmatism on political philosophy research, and enables the basic concepts of Marxist political philosophy to take root in Chinese practice; the “Second Integration” achieves a deep transformation of the paradigm of Chinese political philosophy from three dimensions: theoretical creativity, cultural subjectivity, and spiritual autonomy, breaking the long-standing debate between ancient and modern, East and West that has plagued China. In the chemical reaction of the “Two Integrations”, the soul of Marxism deeply blends with the roots of excellent traditional Chinese culture, giving birth to political philosophy innovations that transcend capital subjectivity with people’s subjectivity, transcend formal universality with substantive universality, transcend zero-sum thinking with symbiotic thinking, and transcend spontaneous emergence with party leadership. This innovation is not a simple rejection of Western political philosophy, but a comprehensive creation based on critical reference, ultimately pointing to the establishment of the philosophical self of the Chinese nation and the construction of China's independent political philosophy knowledge system, contributing new wisdom to human political civilization.

	14	From Labor-Intensive to Precision Supply-Oriented: Talent Adaptation Mechanisms and Pathway Optimization for Smart Elderly Care Services in China
		CAO Ke-yan, FANG Zhi-yu
		Against the dual backdrop of accelerating population aging in China and rigid constraints on labor supply, the traditional labor-intensive model of elderly care has become unsustainable, and smart elderly care is widely regarded as a key pathway to alleviating supply-demand imbalances. Grounded in demand-preference theory, this study focuses on the core proposition of “enhancing the competency adaptability of smart elderly care talents under labor increment constraints” and constructs a multi-dimensional “disease-service-capability” matching model, through which it investigates the service demand profiles of older adults across heterogeneous health statuses and evaluates the current state of supply-side capabilities. Results indicate that disease type and severity-particularly cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairment, and endocrine disorders-significantly shape demand structures; the traditional one-size-fits-all model can no longer meet increasingly complex and multi-tiered needs, while smart elderly care faces bottlenecks including competency-structure mismatches and limited proficiency in operating intelligent devices. Consequently, there is an urgent need to build a precision-supply talent adaptation mechanism along five dimensions—multi-actor collaborative training, industry-education integrated curricula, supply dispatching models, job evaluation mechanisms, and market-competition safeguards—to shift elderly care talent development from quantitative expansion to qualitative enhancement. This approach provides theoretical support and practical pathways for establishing a high-quality, precision-oriented smart elderly care system.

Dialogue on Civilization and Cultural Comparison

	23	The Conceptual Investigation and Discursive Critique of “SinoFuturism” in North American Academia
		WANG Jin, MA Xiao
		Currently, the theoretical trend of “SinoFuturism” has gradually gained prominence in North American academia. It focuses on science-fiction narratives of China’s rapid technological development and, within the discourse of literary and cultural theory, imagines contemporary China as the future of the world. On the theoretical level, this trend reflects on the crisis of capitalist modernity and draws on such theoretical resources as technological accelerationism and digital modernity to articulate the ideas that “China is the future” and that the global center is shifting, thus construing China as an already-arrived technological utopia. On the level of literary criticism, it reads the image of “future China” in Chinese science fiction as a literary representation of technological authoritarianism and collectivism. Although this emerging trend reflects North American attention to China’s rise, at a deeper level, it still reproduces the limitations of techno-Orientalism, treating China as an Other that is both fascinating and alarming, while presenting a temporal politics of the “future” through imagination and misreading. A theoretical critique of SinoFuturism in North American academia would help, from the perspective of global civilizational exchange and mutual learning, to reconsider how China may participate in the construction of global future narratives through its indigenous lived experience, technological discourse, and science-fiction practice, and thus promote the emergence of a theoretical model of “China Futurism” grounded in a Chinese standpoint and oriented toward dialogue with the world.

	32	Digital Theatre: Stage Transformation, Cost Constraints, and Explorations of Global Practice
		MA Ming, LI Wei
		Digital technology is reconstructing the ontological foundations and value production system of theatrical art, propelling global performing arts into a digital theatre era characterized by the symbiosis of the virtual and the real. Digital theatre refers to a hybrid artistic form structurally grounded in advanced digital technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and real-time interaction. Through such vehicles as virtual scenes, digital performance, and the integration of online and offline modes, it deconstructs the physical and narrative conventions of the traditional stage, constructs a dynamic aesthetic network featuring deep audience participation, and realizes digital practice across the entire value chain. Within the three-dimensional framework of artistic creation, digital technology, and audience exper-ience, digital theatre exhibits the generative logic of a technologically mediated dynamic composite system, and its mode of creation and performance has shifted toward a digital form characterized by data-driven production, technology-enabled creation, platform-based dissemination, and feedback-driven iteration. China’s performing arts sector displays the typical characteristics of Baumol’s cost disease. Although digital technology can generate significant economies of scale by reducing marginal costs and expanding audience reach, the high level of upfront technological investment may also create a technological cost trap. global practices of digital theatre reveal a dual path in which technological adaptation and ontological adjustment proceed in parallel, jointly indicating that the liveness and corporeality of theatre are being continuously redefined in the digital context. The future development of digital theatre hinges on maintaining a necessary tension between technological empowerment and artistic authenticity. Through sustained interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical reflection, digital theatre can continue to expand the boundaries of innovation while safeguarding the humanistic core of theatrical art.

Innovation Economy and Cultural Industry

	42	Towards Great Integration: The Optimization Path of “Culture+” Disciplines
		LI Feng-liang, WANG Bo
		The “Culture+” discipline refers to a highly integrated interdisciplinary field that takes culture as both its fundamental point of departure and ultimate value orientation. Focusing on the entire process of cultural value realization and the complex cultural issues emerging in practice, it comprehensively employs methodologies from the humanities, social sciences, and even technological sciences to investigate the generation, dissemination, transformation, and governance of cultural resources, as well as their interactions with related fields. It embodies a new mode of knowledge production characterized by problem orientation, cultural centrality, and interdisciplinary integration, aiming to respond to practical cultural issues while developing research frameworks, analytical tools, and talent cultivation systems suited to contemporary demands. Although “Culture+” disciplines have reached a certain scale and achieved notable progress, they still face structural problems such as ambiguous disciplinary affiliation, fragmented theoretical systems, and insufficient policy support. As a result, their development has long exhibited characteristics of fragmentation and subordination. The key to overcoming these difficulties lies in moving from dispersed disciplinary arrangements toward institutionalized construction by establishing “Culture and Cultural Industries” as a first-level discipline within the category of interdisciplinary studies. Specifically, this requires constructing an institutional framework to legitimize the discipline of Culture and Cultural Industries, establishing a disciplinary logic centered on the creative transformation and innovative development of cultural resources, and forming an independent system of disciplinary consciousness, research methods, and problem orientation. Its core research areas should include public cultural services, cultural industry development, cultural market operation, cultural technology integration, cultural communication, and cultural governance. Discipline construction should further focus on mechanisms of cultural value generation, realization, dissemination, and governance, while developing key directions such as cultural resource development and preservation, cultural industry operation and management, digital culture and cultural technology integration, and cultural communication and governance. By upholding a humanistic core, innovating management and evaluation systems, and emphasizing the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents, the integrated development of “Culture+” disciplines can be advanced, thereby contributing to the construction of a culturally strong nation.

	52	On the Disciplinary Issues of Culture-Related Majors
		SHAN Shi-lian
		As an institutionalized design for academic development and professional education, disciplines serve both as the foundation defining the nature, scope, and legitimacy of academic activities and as the standards governing researchers’ professional conduct. It is precisely through disciplines that academic research and teaching activities can form a “scholarly tradition” or “academic community” in practice. Whether in university teaching or general academic research, all are organized around disciplinary frameworks. As early as the 1990s, discussions on the disciplinary construction of “culture” emerged in cultural academia. Since the 21st century, the rapid development of the cultural industry has further fueled the expectation of establishing a “cultural industry studies” discipline. Although discussions on “cultural science” in the late 19th century, the romanticist “cultural critique” and British “cultural studies” did not unfold within disciplinary frameworks, today’s cultural (industry) studies in China have become a prominent field, raising both theoretical and practical questions about disciplinary construction. Based on the development of China’s cultural studies and existing professional development experiences, the disciplinary setup for culture-related majors is best achieved by adding “cultural management” as a primary discipline under the management category.

	64	The Practical Logic and System Design of Culturology Discipline Development
		ZHANG Wei, SHAO Ming-hua
		The development of Chinese culture in the new era has a distinct practical logic, and it urgently calls for the establishment of an independent discipline of culturology within our country’s academic system. Establishing an independent discipline of culturology is a key measure and an inevitable requirement for implementing the logic of XI Jin-ping Thought on Culture, the strategy of a country with a strong socialist culture, the development of the cultural industries, the public welfare aspects of cultural undertakings, and for strengthening the academic foundations of the Cultural Industries Management. From the formation of core concepts in culture and culturology to the accumulation of theoretical research within the domestic academic community; from the experience of renowned overseas universities in developing related disciplines to the practical experience of domestic universities in running relevant programmes; and considering the fundamental elements that culturology has already established as an independent discipline, the establishment of a discipline of culturology in China now possesses sufficient practical feasibility and an academic foundation. Focusing on the discipline’s fundamental connotations, core characteristics and scope, the development of culturology could be approached through the following three options: establishing culturology as a first-level discipline within the Interdisciplinary category; establishing it as a first-level discipline within the Law category; or even establishing it as an independent disciplinary category of culturology. We should follow the practical logic of the construction of culturology, optimize the design of the disciplinary system, and build a culturology disciplinary system, academic system and discourse system with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style and Chinese demeanor, contributing Chinese wisdom to the development of Chinese culture and the progress of human civilization.

	75	On the Disciplinary Independence, Research Object, and Construction Pathways of Culturology from a Metascientific Perspective
		LI Xin-feng, ZHANG Li-wei
		Culture, as a special field in the social structure that stands alongside economics and politics, plays an important role in the Chinese path to modernization. However, various specific research directions related to culture are currently scattered across numerous different disciplines, and an independent and complete system of culturology has yet to be established. The great practice of Chinese-style modernization, the goal of building a strong cultural country, and the construction of China’s independent knowledge system all urgently require the establishment of a systematic and autonomous culturology. The disciplinary independence and construction of culturology is essentially a metascientific problem, requiring a self-referential and reflective study of culturology from a metascientific perspective to seek its realistic and theoretical basis for current construction as well as future development directions. The “culture” studied in culturology is clearly elucidated by sinicized Marxist cultural theory as “culture as an ideological form” that stands alongside economics and politics. The process of culturology towards disciplinary independence is a gradual one, and it cannot be achieved overnight. It can be achieved step by step according to a “two-step” approach: firstly, culturology can be established as a primary discipline in the field of art or literature. Secondly, culturology can be upgraded to an independent discipline, truly achieving the goal of disciplinary independence for culturology.

Economic Growth and Financial Innovation

	85	Prospects for the Internationalization of the Renminbi in the Era of Stablecoins
		FAN Zuo-jun, SUN Yi-ke, HUANG Xian-jing
		Against the backdrop of ongoing adjustments in the global financial system surrounding digital currencies, the development of the stablecoin market is exerting a profound influence on the evolution of the international monetary system and generating both new opportunities and challenges for internationalization of the Renminbi(RMB). Building on the historical evolution and current foundations of RMB internationalization, this paper focuses on how stablecoin market development affects RMB asset liquidity, the structure of the offshore RMB market, the efficiency of cross-border payment and settlement, the development of financial infrastructure, and the capacity to withstand external shocks. The findings show that, while the development of the stablecoin market is reshaping cross-border payment and settlement methods as well as the competitive landscape of international currencies, it also opens up new avenues for improving the convenience of RMB use in cross-border transactions and enhancing the international attractiveness of RMB-denominated assets. The well-regulated development of stablecoins can help improve the RMB cross-border payment and settlement system, ease financial frictions in traditional payment arrangements, and strengthen the resilience and shock-absorption capacity of RMB internationalization. Accordingly, steadily advancing pilot programs for RMB-denominated stablecoins, optimizing the linkage between onshore and offshore markets, improving cross-border regulatory and information disclosure frameworks, and refining stablecoin risk-response mechanisms under external shocks are of great importance for alleviating the structural constraints facing RMB internationalization, enhancing China’s capacity to participate in international monetary cooperation and global economic governance, and reinforcing the financial support for high-standard opening-up.

	98	Towards a Unified National Market: Virtual Agglomeration and Corporate Cross-Regional Expansiones
		YIN Yan-hui, SUN Xiang-dong
		Dismantling spatial barriers and facilitating cross-regional capital mobility constitute the fundamental essence of building a unified national market. In this context, virtual agglomeration—spawned by digital-real economy integration—offers a new paradigm for firms to circumvent cross-boundary frictions. Utilizing a sample of A-share listed companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, this paper systematically examines the impact of urban virtual agglomeration levels on the cross-regional expansion of enterprises and its underlying mechanisms. This study finds that urban virtual agglomeration significantly promotes the non-local expansion of enterprise groups, increasing both the “breadth” of establishing non-local subsidiaries and the “depth” of non-local capital investment. This conclusion remains robust after addressing endogeneity issues and conducting a series of robustness tests. Mechanism analysis indicates that virtual agglomeration drives corporate cross-regional layout through three channels: fostering inter-city collaborative innovation, enhancing corporate management efficiency, and alleviating financing constraints. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the marginal effect of virtual agglomeration is stronger in regions with lower government integrity and lower degrees of marketization, as well as in cross-provincial expansion scenarios. Furthermore, it significantly enhances the breadth of cross-industry expansion and the depth of intra-industry expansion. To smooth the domestic economic circulation and build a unified national market, efforts should be made to consolidate the network foundation of virtual agglomeration, fully leverage its compensatory role, stimulate the internal momentum of enterprises to utilize digital dividends for optimizing cross-regional spatial layouts, and improve the macro-allocation efficiency of capital.

Politics, Law and Social Governance

	109	International Investment Arbitration in Climate Disputes: Structural Dilemmas and Institutional Responses
		YI Zai-cheng, SHENG Dan-qing
		As global climate governance deepens, regulatory measures adopted by states to fulfill their climate obligations under international treaties such as the Paris Agreement are increasingly triggering normative conflicts between climate governance and international investment protection obligations, leading to a surge in climate-change-related international investment arbitration cases. These cases lay bare two fundamental weaknesses in the traditional arbitration framework when it confronts climate disputes. On the substantive side, the expansive readings of indirect expropriation, the elastic applications of the fair and equitable treatment standard, and the cramped invocation of exception provisions have severely constricted host states’ policy space for climate action. On the procedural side, the growing demand for specialized climate expertise, combined with restricted third-party access and lopsided evidentiary rules, has cast a shadow over the legitimacy of arbitral outcomes. To reconcile the tension between investment protection and climate governance, it is urgent to overcome the functional limitations of the traditional international investment arbitration mechanism, which is constrained by the binary operational logic of the legal system. A shift is needed from an adversarial, case-by-case adjudicatory paradigm to a governance paradigm based on “structural coupling” among subsystems such as law and science. This transformation aims to achieve a dynamic coordination between investment rights and climate justice in the global commons. Concretely, at the substantive rules level, constructing a climate-friendly investment treaty paradigm, narrowing the standard for determining indirect expropriation, and activating exception clauses; at the procedural mechanism level, establishing specialized climate arbitration tribunals, improving evidentiary rules, and enhancing third-party participation; at the governance system level, promoting organic coordination among international arbitration, domestic judiciary, and climate finance mechanisms.

	122	The Mechanisms Behind “Involutionary” Competition in the Digital Platform Sector and Solutions Under Competition Law
		ZHU Gong-huan
		Driven by the combined effects of two-sided network effects and capital, “involutionary” competition in the digital platform sector continues to intensify. Unlike the price squeezes triggered by production capacity pressures in the manufacturing sector, “involution” in the platform context manifests as competition among platforms over low prices and traffic, homogenized imitation among operators within platforms, and the cascading of operational pressures from platforms to the inner layers of their ecosystems. This raises market entry barriers, weakens incentives for innovation, and constrains the sustainable development of the platform economy. The mechanism behind this “involutionary” competition lies in the fact that price signals are constantly amplified by algorithms, while competitive incentives in areas such as quality, technology, and service are squeezed out. Platforms induce businesses to continuously invest in exposure competition by expanding public traffic and implementing pricing arrangements for private traffic. Furthermore, platforms abuse their authority to formulate and enforce rules, influencing transaction conditions and resource allocation to create exclusionary arrangements. The key to resolving this dilemma lies in breaking the self-reinforcing cycle of “price-traffic-rules.” In terms of institutional responses, it is necessary to clarify the antitrust law standards applicable to predatory pricing among platforms and low-price “involution” behaviors such as platform-led most-favored-nation treatment, while improving the coordination with the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. At the same time, traffic allocation should be incorporated into the scope of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, promoting traffic distribution mechanisms guided by performance metrics and quality indicators. Furthermore, by applying Article 21 of the newly revised Anti-Unfair Competition Law, platforms’ obligations to ensure fair competition should be established, and differential treatment without justifiable grounds should be prohibited.

	134	Social Media Bans for Minors: Policy Implementation, Validity Controversies, and Optimization Pathways
		CHEN Ying
		Social media brings faceted risks——including extreme content, social interaction anxiety, digital addiction, and privacy exposure——to children who are in a critical stage of rapid growth and change. In response to these challenges, a global legislative wave has emerged seeking to prohibit or restrict children’s access to social media platforms. While specific measures vary across jurisdictions, social media bans universally concentrate on three core dimensions: content risk prevention and control, age verification mechanisms, and platform responsibility enhancement. These legislative initiatives reflect a paradigm shift in digital governance from “content regulation” toward “systemic risk governance”. However, they share a fundamental presupposition that “usage inherently equals harm”, overlooking the contextual dependency and individual variations in social media’s impacts. Practically, such bans confront significant efficacy challenges including limited behavioral intervention effectiveness, technological defects in age verification systems, and insufficient family cooperation. Meanwhile, the bans may also bring negative effects such as rights deprivation and exacerbated privacy vulnerabilities, as well as obscuring deeper structural contradictions including inadequate parenting practices and insufficient social support systems. Therefore, protecting minors from social media harms should transcend solely reliance on banning policy. Instead, we need to establish an ecological protection framework through collaborative governance among government entities, platform operators, families, and educational institutions: at the educational level, advancing critical digital literacy education to cultivate children’s autonomous judgment capabilities; at the social level, fostering supportive developmental environments that satisfy children’s legitimate social interaction and expressive needs; and at the institutional level, strengthening platform accountability by reconstructing the “duty of care” system to prevent and even eliminate social media risks at the product design process of social media.

	145	Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Moral Education in Colleges: Tensions and Pathways
		YU Shao-long, GUO Feng-lin
		In the era of artificial intelligence, the core subject of moral education in colleges—college students—faces subjectivity crises such as weakened value steadfastness in algorithmic environments, the emergence of learning anxiety in intelligent knowledge generation, and declining optimism under employment threats. The integration of AI into moral education in colleges encounters three major tensions: first, the expansion of AI technical rationality conflicts with the humanistic tradition of moral education, where technocratic problem-solving compresses the survival space of moral education; second, the rapid iteration of AI technology far surpasses previous rates, severely impacting the stability emphasized by moral education; third, AI-driven personalization leads students to rely more on online and virtual communication, shrinking the communal activity space for moral education. Therefore, moral education in colleges must undergo reforms in three key areas: first, strengthening AI foundational education to enhance students’ understanding and cognition of AI, establishing AI-based moral education classrooms; second, continuously innovating mainstream value guidance mechanisms in the digital-intelligent context, exploring the direction and carriers of moral education in the AI era; third, standardizing AI-era moral education evaluation and governance mechanisms, creating a more process-oriented evaluation system and tool usage standards. Overall, moral education in colleges should actively transform and explore the new paradigm of “AI+” moral education, making AI a fundamental aid in colleges fostering virtue through education.

	153	From the Ideal of Universal Philosophy to the Origin of Formalization:The Divergence Between Jacques Klein and Husserl and Jacques Klein’s Surpassment
		HUANG Lei
		Husserl’s discussion of the origin of geometry is ɑn example of his pursuit of the ideal of universal philosophy. According to Husserl, Galileo’s ideal of the mathematization of nature is merely ɑ finite explanation of the origin of geometry, and the geometry before Galileo is only a finite and closed apriori principles. Thus, Husserl explores the origin of geometry, in fact viewing it as ɑn “overall acquisition of spiritual achievement” and pursuing the full-time effectiveness and general normativity of science. However, due to Husserl’s evidence could not escape the intentionality of individual objects, he has to place the origin of geometry in the life-world, which has drawn much criticism. Jacques Klein startes from the objectivity of concepts, through the connection and distinction between intention prima and intention secunda, explores the symbolic process of Descartes’ unification of algebra and geometry, and rediscoveres the origin of geometry, especially the process of the formalization of mathematical symbols. In this sense, Jacques Klein surpasses Husserl. However, Klein’s exploration raises a new question: Has he completed the formalization? In fact, to seek the origin of formalization, we still need to return to Husserl, especially Husserl’s distinction between Ausdruck and Anzeinchen. In Husserl’s view, the emergence of Anzeinchen represents the formation of purely linguistic generalization, and the essential possibility of this purely linguistic generalization is borne by pure concepts. It is precisely in this sense that Jacques Klein reconstructes formalization through the process of purifying of mathematical symbols which surpasses his tutor Husserl.
