The miniaturization of smart factories is an important path for small and medium-sized enterprises to achieve intelligent manufacturing. Using a literature review method, this paper systematically retrieves related literature on micro smart factories from databases such as CNKI, Web of Science, and Scopus. Combining studies on micro factories and smart factories, this paper defines a micro smart factory and analyzes the constituent elements of a micro smart factory from three aspects: conceptual subjects, technical foundations, and development goals. It is believed that micro smart factories have characteristics of subject specificity, technical similarity, subject applicability, and functional fundamentality compared to traditional smart factories. This paper also clarifies conceptual differences among micro factories, smart factories, intelligent manufacturing, and micro smart factories. Additionally, based on application scenarios of micro smart factories, it constructs a research framework following the logic of “influencing factors-development barriers-implementation paths-goals and outcomes”. This paper finds that influencing factors of micro smart factories involve three aspects: technological, organizational, and environmental levels. Development barriers include financial, technological, talent, and management obstacles. Building micro smart factories requires solving issues in five areas: finance, technology, talent, cognition, and management support. The goals and outcomes of micro smart factories differ at both micro and macro levels. Finally, this paper proposes future development directions for micro smart factories from four dimensions: construction and practice, theoretical framework, benefits and governance, and growth changes and boundary effects, providing references for theoretical research on micro smart factories and the future development of intelligent manufacturing in China.

With the rapid development of the market economy, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and restructuring have become the main commercial activities in the securities market. To explore the impact and mechanism of M&A and restructuring inquiry letters on corporate ESG performance, based on the theoretical analysis, all A-share listed companies that underwent M&As and restructuring from 2015 to 2021 are selected as the research objects, and regression tests are conducted under strict control of time and individual fixed effects, further expansion analysis is conducted on the economic consequences and characteristics related to M&A and restructuring inquiry letters, and the heterogeneity of the impact of M&A and restructuring inquiry letters on corporate ESG performance under different levels of financing pressure is explored. Research has found that M&A and restructuring inquiry letters can significantly improve the ESG performance of the surveyed companies through a dual path of increasing analyst attention and alleviating information asymmetry issues. Further analysis reveals that the impact of receiving letters on a company's ESG rating is short-term, with an improvement in the quality of ESG information disclosure after receiving letters, and the mechanism of action is similar to that of ESG performance. At the same time, changes in the effectiveness of M&A and restructuring inquiry letters are revealed, and it is found that their impact on ESG performance significantly decreases after 2019. Heterogeneity analysis shows that this promoting effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises with higher levels of financing constraints. This paper verifies the optimization effect of M&A and restructuring inquiry letters on corporate ESG performance, there is heterogeneity in the regulatory effects on companies under different financing pressures, indicating that the ability of companies to withstand potential risks in their financing activities weakens the promotion effect of M&A and restructuring inquiry letters on ESG performance.

Urban transportation is one of the key sectors contributing to urban carbon emissions. Investigating efficient carbon reduction paths is of significant importance for promoting the high-quality development and green, low-carbon transformation of the transportation sector. Beijing, a city with a dense population and frequent economic activities, has considerable energy consumption and carbon emissions in its transportation sector. The Chinese government has pledged to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Therefore, studying the relationship between transportation carbon emissions and economic growth in Beijing, as well as exploring effective carbon reduction measures, is crucial for achieving these goals. This paper takes Beijing as a case study and employs a “top-down” approach to calculate the annual carbon dioxide emissions from its transportation sector. It analyzes the decoupling status between transportation carbon emissions and economic growth and constructs a system dynamics model for urban transportation carbon emissions. The model considers multiple subsystems, including the population and economy subsystem, the transportation subsystem, the energy and carbon emissions subsystem, and the private car cost subsystem. By simulating and forecasting the trends in carbon dioxide emissions from urban transportation in Beijing, the study investigates the changes in emissions under various carbon reduction strategies. The study calculates and analyzes the carbon emissions from Beijing's transportation sector, revealing an increasing trend in recent years. It also shows that the decoupling status between transportation carbon emissions and economic growth is characterized by either an expanding or weak decoupling, failing to achieve the ideal state of strong decoupling. Based on this, the study develops a system dynamics model for urban transportation carbon emissions and simulates the emission trend variations under different scenarios. The results indicate that adjusting the vehicle energy structure, controlling private transportation demand, and improving energy efficiency are effective measures for reducing transportation carbon emissions. Promoting new energy vehicles, implementing stringent traffic restriction policies, and enhancing energy-saving technologies can significantly reduce transportation carbon emissions. This paper not only examines the ecological benefits of implementing carbon reduction measures from a policy perspective but also assesses their economic benefits, thereby enriching the evaluation framework of transportation carbon reduction policies. Furthermore, the study considers the cost changes for consumers resulting from policy implementation, comprehensively evaluating the implementation effects and guiding role of the policy from both the ecological and economic benefits. The findings offer valuable guidance for government departments in selecting efficient and rational carbon reduction policies, which will help promote high-quality economic development and high-level protection of the ecological environment. Additionally, the research provides insights for low-carbon transportation development in other regions and holds significant theoretical and practical values for achieving the green and low-carbon transformation of the transportation sector.

As crucial market entities in the socialist market economy, state-owned enterprises have always been the core force driving China′s high-quality economic development. In the new era, amid profound shifts in the international political landscape and strategic requirements of the domestic goal of common prosperity, redefining the functional positioning of state-owned enterprises not only shapes their reform trajectory but also serves as a crucial proposition for understanding the institutional strengths of the socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics. Based on the extended analytical framework of “Attributes-Strategic Missions-Functions” for state-owned enterprises based on five types of market failures, this paper systematically explains the strategic mission and functional positioning of state-owned enterprises in the new era. From the perspective of making up for market failures, the traditional market failure theory mainly focuses on three types of issues: first, issues universal in market economies such as monopolies, externalities, and public goods shortages; second, the trap of comparative advantage in developing economies formed due to path dependence; third, imperfect market institutions and administrative barriers peculiar to transitional economies. With the development of the times, the scope of market failure has been further extended to two new types of challenges: fourth, disruptions to the international division of labor under the influence of international politics in the trend of anti-globalization, and fifth, market mechanisms′ inadequacy in achieving common prosperity. This paper argues that the strategic mission and functional positioning of state-owned enterprises are rooted in the coordinated practice of their triple attributes: the economic attribute, with efficiency improvement and strategic breakthrough as the core, can make up for the traditional three types of market failures and drive high-quality economic development; the political attribute, which carries the mission of ensuring national security and enhancing global competitiveness, can make up for the fourth type of market failure and cope with the challenges of anti-globalization; the social attribute, which aims to promote fairness and sharing, can make up for the fifth type of market failures and strive to achieve common prosperity. State-owned enterprises are not only key actors in addressing market failures but also the pioneers of national strategies. The coordinated practice of their three attributes is not only a unique advantage of China′s economic system but also a vivid illustration of “an efficient market+an effective government” in the changing situation of global governance. The Inclusive Green Development Survey finds that the realization of the functions of state-owned enterprises in addressing the five types of market failures has been highly recognized by society.

Developing New Quality Productive Forces is an inherent requirement and an important focus for promoting high-quality development in China. It is an important decision and deployment made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to pursue a strategy of national rejuvenation amid global changes of a magnitude not seen in a century. This paper summarizes the importance of New Quality Productive Forces to the strategy of boosting China's strength in manufacturing, the ways in which New Quality Productive Forces drive new industrialization, the path to achieving new industrialization and high-quality industrial development, and the future direction of high-quality industrial development in China. In order to achieve high-quality industrial development in China, China need to build a new industrialization system through developing New Quality Productive Forces under the guidance of Manufacturing Powerhouse Strategy, and integrate the core requirements of high-quality industrial development throughout the construction process. Firstly, through developing New Quality Productive Forces, industrial transformation should be continuously promoted, and the structure of the manufacturing industry should be optimized; technological innovation should be driven, and the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry should be enhanced; the green economy should be promoted, and the quality of development should be improved, thereby empowering Manufacturing Powerhouse Strategy. On this basis, through developing New Quality Productive Forces, the resilience of the industrial chain should be enhanced, breakthroughs should be made in some core technologies in key fields to ensure sustained industrial development, industrial clusters and leading enterprises should be cultivated, and the international competitiveness of “Made in China” should be enhanced, so as to promote the construction of China's new industrialization system. At the same time, New Quality Productive Forces can also integrate the requirements of high-quality industrial development into the construction of new industrialization by leading quality, efficiency, and driving force transformation. Among them, quality transformation mainly includes scientific and technological innovation and development mode transformation led by New Quality Productive Forces, efficiency transformation mainly includes industrial transformation and upgrading led by New Quality Productive Forces, and driving force transformation mainly includes system and mechanism innovation and talent training innovation led by New Quality Productive Forces. In the future, driven by the three major transformation paths, China's industrial system will continue to progress towards high-end, digital, service-oriented, green, inclusive, and international directions. This paper analyzes the internal logic and practical laws of promoting high-quality industrial development in China through New Quality Productive Forces, and provide references for China to further perfect relevant policies in the future.

Since entering a new stage of development, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation represented by artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and cloud computing has driven the rapid development of China's digital economy. The digital economy consists of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization. The digitalization of industries constitutes a crucial part of industrial digitalization, and it applies digital technologies to industrial production, management, and services, playing an important role in optimizing resource allocation and improving resource utilization. It involves intelligent manufacturing, digital design, data collection and analysis, supply chain digitalization, cloud and edge computing, virtual reality and augmented reality, cybersecurity, and digital twins. This paper systematically examines the current status and challenges of the digital development of industries, laying the foundation for further leveraging the driving role of the digital economy to promote high-end, intelligent, and green industrial development and to build a modern industrial system. China actively guides, encourages, supports, and ensures the digital development of industries such as intelligent manufacturing and the industrial internet through incentive measures like special projects, industry standards, and demonstration pilots. This paper utilizes the CSMAR (China Stock Market & Accounting Research Database) to analyze the digital development of industries in China. The study finds that the level of intelligent manufacturing has significantly improved, the industrial internet is flourishing, the innovative development of “5G+industrial internet” is accelerating, and the initiative of “providing inclusive cloud services to empower big data application and intellectualized reconstruction” is being promoted. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the digital transformation of Chinese industrial enterprises has shown an accelerating trend, particularly in the eastern regions and the manufacturing sector. Although the digital transformation in the central and western regions and some traditional industries started later, recent years have seen strong growth momentum, indicating potential for catching up. Despite the significant achievements in the digital transformation of industrial enterprises in China, challenges remain, including the imperative need for breakthroughs in key technology areas, the necessity to enhance the digitalization level of industries, regional development imbalances, and a shortage of high-end talent. Thus, to promote high-quality development of the real economy and facilitate the digital and intelligent development of industries, it is essential not only to accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of traditional industries but also to innovate and develop core industries of the digital economy, cultivate emerging and future industries, optimize the development environment for industrial digital intelligence, strengthen digital security guarantees, and vigorously cultivate specialized digital talents.

Industrial green development represents a concrete practice prominent embodiment of the concept of green development in the industrial field, is an inevitable choice to address the ecological and environmental challenges posed by the rapid industrialization of large countries. From the theoretical perspective, the green transformation of industrial enterprises is mainly affected by the market mechanism, government regulation and opening up. The market mainly exerts an impact on the green transformation of enterprises through signal mechanisms such as the price or environmental preferences of market players. Government regulation, on the one hand, will increase the cost of enterprises complying with environmental protection regulations, and on the other hand, it may also promote technological innovation of enterprises to realize green transformation while improving their own competitiveness. Opening up to the outside world may enable enterprises to transfer the burden of environmental protection or improve the availability of green and low-carbon technologies, and then have a dual impact on their green transformation. From the practical level, since the 1970s, China's industrial green transformation has generally gone through four stages:end-of-pipe treatment of industrial pollution, equal emphasis on industrial pollution prevention and control, the launch of new industrialization and high-quality industrial development, and has made outstanding achievements. At the present stage, the country still faces challenges in eliminating the structural obstacles of industrial green development in the short term, the increasing pressure of energy conservation and carbon reduction in the industrial sector, and the overall weak capacity of green manufacturing and services. On the new journey of the new era, accelerating industrial green development requires promoting stock reform through incremental development, further leveraging the positive role of the carbon market in facilitating energy conservation and carbon reduction, and better utilizing fiscal, tax, and financial policies to optimize structure, promote R&D, and support transformation. Furthermore, it necessitates accelerating technological application and innovation and enhancing the technological impetus for industrial green transformation through digital-green integration.

This paper explores the connotations, current status, and challenges of inclusive industrial development. In particular, it analyzes the progress and bottlenecks in China's industrial sector in terms of promoting social equity, equal employment opportunities, regional coordinated development, and support for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and searches for solutions to promote inclusive industrial development, foster social equity, improve the quality of employment, and advance the growth of SMEs. Taking into account the actual situation of China's industrial development, this paper analyze inclusive industrial development in four key areas:industrial employment, wage and compensation, the level of inter-regional industrial development, and the development of private SMEs. The specific methodology is the combination of qualitative and quantitative analyses. From a qualitative perspective, this study explains the significance and value of inclusive industrial development through theoretical connotations. By further integrating relevant data and conducting quantitative analysis, it analyzes the current status and challenges of inclusive industrial development in China and discusses in depth the achievements and problems of employment, wages, regional development, and the growth of private SMEs. Overall, inclusive industrial development has achieved certain results in promoting employment and supporting the development of private SMEs. Specifically, there has been a significant improvement in generating employment opportunities and expanding the developing space of these SMEs. However, inclusive industrial development still faces many challenges in terms of wage and compensation and inter-regional industrial development gaps. In terms of wage levels, despite the improvement in overall industrial income, imbalances in the distribution of income still exist, with wage growth lagging for low-income groups in particular. In terms of inter-regional industrial development, the gaps between the eastern and the western regions, and between cities and villages remain large, resulting in the fruits of economic development not effectively benefiting all people. Further analysis reveals that the deep-rooted difficulties and challenges facing inclusive industrial development are primarily reflected in three areas: the uneven regional industrial development, the difficulty in transforming the industrial structure, and the insufficient innovation capacity of private SMEs. In particular, some traditional industries still rely on low-cost, low-technology production methods, leading to a slow process of industrial upgrading and making it difficult to meet the demand for high-quality development in the New Era. At the same time, private SMEs have made relatively insufficient investments in technological innovation and management upgrading, and their innovation capacity and market competitiveness are weak, which also limits their overall performance in the industrial system. In order to further promote inclusive industrial development, this paper puts forward a series of policy recommendations. Firstly, resource allocation should be optimized to promote high-quality and full employment, and the rational flow and allocation of various types of labor resources should be promoted through a combination of policy guidance and market mechanisms. Secondly, to strengthen regional coordinated development, especially by improving new mechanisms for regional development to promote industrial development in the western regions and small and medium-sized cities, and to narrow the regional gap. Lastly, to enhance technological innovation capacity, support private SMEs increase their investment in research and development and scientific and technological innovation, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure to achieve inclusive industrial development.

Promoting the deep transformation and upgrading of traditional industries is an important part of the high-quality development of China's economy and society in the new period, and it is a major event concerning the building of China's modern industrial system. In the context of major changes unseen in a century in the world, the development of traditional industries is facing new opportunities and challenges. This paper aims to re-examine and explore the paths and countermeasures for the deep transformation and upgrading of China's traditional industries. This paper conducts a retrospective statistical analysis of the changing status of traditional industries in China's national economy, based on available data from three key dimensions:main business revenue, total profit, and number of employees. It aims to reveal the current development status of traditional industries in China, identify existing challenges through on-site investigations and literature reviews, outline the primary development paths for traditional industries in the new period and new stage, and finally provide corresponding policy recommendations. During the study period, traditional industries, predominantly labor-intensive and capital-intensive sectors, exhibit moderate profitability with slowing growth. Key indicators such as their share of GDP and contribution to economic growth show a declining trend. Nevertheless, traditional industries continue to play a crucial role in China's national economy, accounting for about 50％—60％ of the manufacturing sector in terms of scale, revenue, and employment, thereby providing essential support for national economic development. The conclusions drawn from this paper are as follows:traditional industries, as the pillar and basic components of China's national economy, are the main driver of China's economic growth, the main arena for solving the employment problem, and an important foothold for developing New Quality Productive Forces and promoting high-quality economic growth. Advancing the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries is not only of significant importance but also imperative. In the areas of application of innovation, digital and intelligent transformation, green development, industrial transfer, and talent cultivation, mindset should be shifted and innovation should be implemented in institutions, organizations, and mechanisms, so as to provide enhanced policy support, foster a more conducive environment, and offer stronger backing for the deep transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of traditional industries.

Since the reform and opening up, academia has carried out extensive and in-depth research on Chen Yun's life and thought, and Chen Yun's economic thought has been the focus of research over the years, achieving rich research results. The development history is reviewed concerning the research on Chen Yun's economic thought, and the research on Chen Yun's economic thought is divided into five stages, namely, the genesis stage (1978—1986), the stable development stage (1987—1994), the comprehensive development stage (1995—2004), the upsurge stage (2005—2014), and the in-depth expansion stage (2015 to present). The core content and key research are refined of Chen Yun's economic thought, so as to provide basis for the in-depth development of related research on Chen Yun in the New Era.

In recent years, China has adhered to the concept of neighboring diplomacy of affinity, sincerity, benefit and tolerance, and has achieved remarkable results in the areas of strategic docking and mechanism construction, infrastructure connectivity, trade, investment and industrial cooperation with neighboring countries under the framework of the Belt and Road, forming a mutually beneficial and win-win regional cooperation pattern and winning the wide recognition of the international community. At present, China′s efforts to build the Belt and Road with neighboring countries are intertwined with opportunities and challenges: in terms of opportunities, China′s international influence, regional economic shaping power, and the appeal of Community with a Shared Future for Mankind have been significantly enhanced; in terms of challenges, some extraterritorial forces frequently stir up and interfere with the neighboring regions, the political and economic situation of the neighboring countries is complicated and severe, and the level of cooperation and willingness to cooperate between the relevant countries and China urgently need to be improved, and the shortest plank of China′s openness to neighboring countries needs to be mended. Accordingly, countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to continue promoting the high-quality construction of the Belt and Road:to strengthen strategic and policy docking, enhance mutual trust and expand consensus; to consolidate the basic infrastructure construction and perfect the network of interconnection; to deepen economic, trade, industrial and investment cooperation, and to improve the ability of collaboration and complementarity; to give full play to the open function of the border areas, and to enhance the level of foreign cooperation.

The vulnerability of security governance directly affects the security and progress of the Belt and Road construction. An analytical framework of “exposure-sensitivity-adaptability” can effectively assess the vulnerability of the Belt and Road security governance system and put forward more targeted countermeasures. From the perspective of exposure, many security issues along the Belt and Road have high threats, wide coverage, and long duration, which may lead to a strong impact on the Belt and Road security governance. From the perspective of sensitivity, the Belt and Road has not yet formed a unified and effective security governance concept. The lack of an authoritative security governance organization and an integrated and orderly security governance mechanism has led to the lack of anti-shock capability of the Belt and Road security governance. From the perspective of adaptability, the Belt and Road partner countries are more inclined to pursue power and benefits and shirk the responsibilities contained therein, leading to increasingly intensified power competition, increased security interest differentiation, and difficulty in forming consensus on security governance along the Belt and Road, which weakens the resilience of security governance along the Belt and Road. Therefore, through the optimization and redundancy of the structure, the anti-impact ability can be enhanced for the Belt and Road security governance; and through self-organization evolution, the Belt and Road security governance will be more adaptable.

The interactive activities of tourism destination governments, tourism enterprises, tourism industry organizations and institutions, tourists and other subjects have more and more attribute of People-People diplomacy in the process of tourism economic globalization. The people-people diplomacy function of tourism has become an important consideration for national and local governments in formulating tourism development strategies. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, the tourism people-people diplomacy plays an important role as a supplementary to official diplomacy. The mechanism and development path of tourism people-people diplomacy are explored under the Belt and Road Initiative on the basis of analyzing the connotation and key players of tourism people-people diplomacy. The mechanism includes four aspects: the local government should formulate policies, and build a cooperation framework; tourism industry organizations and institutions provide diplomatic platforms; Chinese tourism enterprises should participate in international cooperation and competition as the diplomatic media; outbound tourists act as “diplomatic ambassadors” for civilized tourism. The development paths of tourism people-people diplomacy are put forward under the Belt and Road Initiative:the local governments of the cities create tourism people-people diplomacy environment; tourism industry organizations and institutions promote market development and enhance the national credibility; tourism enterprises expand cooperation and build international tourism connectivity network; and outbound tourists incarnate as “ambassadors of diplomatic image” and shape civilized image.

Chinese Path to Modernization has strong and distinct theoretical logic, historical logic, value logic and practical logic. Chinese Path to Modernization is a socialist modernization led by CPC. Its emergence and development have absorbed and integrated the excellent traditional Chinese culture, inherited and developed the Marxist modernization theory, and drawn on and sublated Western modernization theories. It is an organic integration of Chinese civilization, socialist civilization and modern civilization. Chinese Path to Modernization is the historical achievement of CPC's advancing exploration. The ten years' great practice in the New Era has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese Path to Modernization. The overall strategic arrangement of “two steps” has created beautiful scenery of Chinese Path to Modernization. Chinese Path to Modernization responds the question of China, breaks the mindset, revitalizes the institutional advantages, and demonstrates the diversity of civilizations, which will better develop China and benefit the world. To realize the Chinese Path to Modernization, the historical confidence should be maintained, the historical initiative should be enhanced, the historical responsibility should be strengthened, and a new testing journey should be taken to the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) provides the first interpretation of the essential requirements for Chinese-style Modernization, which emphasizes the fundamental principles of adhering to the leadership of the CPC and adhering to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. The practical route of Chinese-style Modernization is to promote the coordinated development of the “five-sphere integrated plan” and the value of Chinese-style Modernization is to build a Community of Shared Future for Mankind and create a new form of human civilization. A profound understanding of the essential requirements of Chinese-style Modernization has important guiding significance for the Chinese to firmly have confidence in the path of Chinese-style Modernization and to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-style Modernization.

Under the great change in the world not seen in a century, the improvement of modernization level of China's governance system and governance capability highlights the outstanding advantages of Chinese-style Modernization. Compared with the Western modernization, Chinese-style Modernization takes pluralistic modernity as the basic premise and surpasses the pattern of monistic rule in Western modernization. With “People First” as the fundamental observance, it puts people's livelihood and well-being above the logic of capital appreciation, and surpasses the value stance of capital supremacy in Western modernization. It shows the great power of practice with unique political advantages, perfect institutional framework, and efficient operation mode, and surpasses the practical dilemma of blind pursuit of capital expansion in Western modernization. The creation of Chinese-style Modernization road breaks the dependence of latecomer countries on the Western modernization mode, and broadens the path of modernization of all countries in the world, which is of profound world significance.

Following the scientific essence of the “Second Combination”, the “Six Must Adhere to” firmly adhere to the correct position of Marxism, and connect with the essence of Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture.Accurately grasping the high degree of compatibility between the two, continuously deepening the understanding and exploration of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism and Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture, effectively achieving the innovation in “combination” and the “combination” in innovation will benefit the solid cultural foundation for the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and setting a model for promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture.

Cultural confidence comes from cultural subjectivity. The excellent traditional Chinese culture has established the tradition of “valuing people” since the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the pre-Qin period, the principle of subjectivity and the spirit of subjectivity emphasized both practicality and collective interests, as well as self-improvement. In the long feudal society, the subjectivity of excellent traditional Chinese culture was suppressed, controlled, and buried by the authoritarian system. The CPC has led the Chinese people to combine the basic principles of Marxism with the excellent traditional Chinese culture since the founding, stimulate the infinite wisdom and power contained in the principle of subjectivity and the spirit of subjectivity of the ancient culture, and promote the vigorous development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which has won widespread international praise and high appreciation. The Chinese people have thus gained unprecedented national pride and cultural self-confidence. This is an infinite spiritual power that brings happiness to every Chinese person and gives them the inner strength to move forward courageously.

Low carbon living is an inevitable requirement for achieving the “dual carbon” goal and promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. The Inclusive Green Development Tracking Survey Group (IGDS) has conducted a nationwide survey on low-carbon living, and the results showed that the majority of residents in China have a sense of environmental protection responsibility, have good expectations for low-carbon behavior, are willing to bear additional costs for low-carbon living, and have achieved significant results in low-carbon living practices in areas such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and tourism. However, the transformation of low-carbon life still faces many urgent problems in both cognitive and practical aspects. To effectively promote low-carbon lifestyles, targeted publicity and education should be strengthened to cultivate awareness of low-carbon living among urban and rural residents; tilting towards middle and low-income groups, market-oriented incentives and precise financial support should be emphasized for low-carbon living; based on the low-carbon living practice of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and tourism, the low-carbon lifestyles are promoted through supply system reform; the infrastructure construction is improved to provide hardware support for the widespread formation of low-carbon lifestyles.

With the steady progress of China′s high-quality economic development, the inclusive characteristics of national economic policies have become more prominent. Building an inclusive green and low-carbon economy to achieve sustainable human development and meet people′s needs for a better life is a new goal and requirement for comprehensively promoting high-quality economic and social development. From the perspective of public awareness, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has selected the East China region. As part of the research scope, a tracking survey is conducted on the construction of an inclusive low-carbon consumption environment. The survey results show that residents′ green and low-carbon awareness is continuously improving, and they have strong confidence in the construction of an inclusive green and low-carbon consumption environment in the local area. National policy guidance, government propaganda effectiveness, and residents′ subjective cognitive level are three important factors that affect the green and low-carbon consumption environment. The top-level design of the governmental institutional mechanisms for creating the environment, the level of technological innovation, and the transformation and upgrading of key enterprises are important focus points for building an inclusive, green, and low-carbon consumption environment. In addition, the level of economic development and resident income level also affect resident green and low-carbon consumption methods. Therefore, to optimize the green and low-carbon consumption environment, measures are necessary such as coordinating the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in key areas of green and low-carbon consumption, emphasizing the promotion and guidance of green and low-carbon consumption methods, promoting high-quality development of enterprises, and doing a good job in publicity and guidance. Taking the building practice of inclusive green and low-carbon consumption environments in Shandong Province as an example for analysis, and based on that, specific paths are proposed for optimizing green and low-carbon consumption environments in East China.

With the advancement of the “dual carbon” goal, the situation of personal carbon reduction has increasingly attracted social attention. The Research on China′s “Carbon Neutral” Framework Roadmap by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021 shows that the carbon emissions generated by Chinese residents′ consumption account for 53％ of the total carbon emissions of the whole society. It can be seen that one of the keys to achieving the “dual carbon” goal is the low-carbon consumption of the entire people. Based on the survey of the Inclusive Green Development Survey (IGDS) of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the green consumption behavior and practice effectiveness of Carbon Inclusion of residents in the Northwest region are analyzed from four aspects: public awareness, public behavior, government promotion, and practical effectiveness. The research results show that respondents generally have a strong awareness of green consumption and environmental protection, but there is still a need for more publicity and science popularization on how to reduce carbon emissions; the green consumption behavior of the respondents covers various consumption fields such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, and tourism, but there is some economic pressure on low-carbon living costs; the respondents believe that the government has a strong promotion of green consumption behavior, but the effectiveness of public participation in Carbon Inclusive activities is not ideal. It is necessary for the government and enterprises to further improve the propagating and incentive measures of Carbon Inclusive activities. Policy recommendations are put forward for the standardized development of Carbon Inclusion in the Northwest region.

China has become the world′s largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The further acceleration of industrialization and urbanization brings great challenge to environment protection. Developing a low-carbon economy and tapping the potential for low-carbon consumption have become an inevitable choice to achieve the “dual carbon” goal. Based on the IGDS survey data of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the inclusive low-carbon consumption behavior in Southwest China is investigated from four dimensions: behavior, cognition, attitude, and responsibility. A comparative analysis is conducted on the differences in low-carbon consumption behavior among the five provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in Southwest China. The research results show that Sichuan, Chongqing, and Yunnan are significantly better than Guizhou and Tibet in terms of low-carbon behavior and attitude; in terms of low-carbon awareness and low-carbon responsibility, Guizhou and Tibet have achieved better implementation results. Then, Chongqing is selected as a sample to conduct a case study on the characteristics of low-carbon consumption society. Finally, countermeasures and suggestions for building an inclusive low-carbon consumption society in the Southwest region are proposed from five perspectives: government promotion, low-carbon behavior, low-carbon awareness, low-carbon responsibility, and carbon inclusive path.

After the proposal of the Common Values of All Humanity of “peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom”, the exploration of the concepts becomes a focus of attention in academic community. Discussions are expanded from the perspective of journalism and communication, and the logical relationship and cultural universality are explored between the concepts of constructive journalism and the Common Values of All Humanity. On this basis, the contextual space provided by the Common Values of All Humanity for the development of constructive journalism, and the positive effect of constructive journalism in promoting the Common Values of All Humanity are discussed, so as to expand and enrich the ideas of mutual promotion and common development of the two.

Spreading Common Values of Humanity is the values mission entrusted to Chinese culture “going out” in the New Era. The overseas reading promotion activities linked to the Common Values of Humanity have opened up an international road for the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture by means of the construction of reading space, the establishment of reading platforms and the operation of social media publications. In order to strengthen the mechanism construction of overseas reading promotion activities, attention should be paid to the universality of content of works, the convenience of reading environment and the innovation of communication methods, so as to promote global communication effectiveness and enhance the soft power of Chinese culture.

Focusing on the disemination of Community of A Shared Future for Mankind in Japan, the Asahi Shimbun, Yomiuri Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun and Nihon Keizai Shimbun are taken as research objects, 269 Japanese media reports are analyzed involving the concept of Community of A Shared Future for Mankind from 2011 to 2022. From the diachronic point of view, the dissemination of the idea in Japan experiences three stages: fewer coverage at the beginning, increasing popularity in the middle period and leveling off in the later period. From the perspective of discourse characteristics, the phenomenon of overwording, blurring of quotations and negative narration exist in the dissemination of the concept in Japan. The causes of characteristics above are analyzed from the dimensions of international relations, media mechanism and value judgment. In view of the problems existing in the dissemination of Community of A Shared Future for Mankind in Japan, the optimization strategies are discussed for overseas communication of the Chinese concept represented by Community of A Shared Future for Mankind from three aspects:intermediary thought at the rational level, media diplomacy at the mechanism level, and rational and emotional dissemination at the text level.

In the context of globalization and modernization, the Chinese ethnic themed films exhibit similar motifs of natural ecological “disasters”, memory “home” loss, and “pursuing” of cultural identities, which are the screen projection of public’s thoughts and wishes during a specific period. The shared emotions are spread based on the perspectives of human nature and life, and closer connections are achieved through positive emotional experiences. The common “leave-return” fate of all humanity is included, and the direction of the times is pointed out which is different from the Western “universal value”. Therefore, the Chinese ethnic themed films have a two-way interaction with Common Values of Humanity. The former empowers the latter in practice and becomes a powerful carrier for promoting values; the latter guides the former in terms of value and promotes the upgrading of film creation and communication practice.

The culture of Anti-Japanese War is an important component of excellent Chinese culture, which is naturally connected with the Common Values for All Humanity for its specific historical and practical characteristics, and national and global characteristics. The culture of Anti-Japanese War provides driving resources, behavioral examples, and methodological references for promoting the Common Values for All Humanity. There are three main paths for promoting the Common Values for All Humanity through the dissemination of culture of Anti-Japanese War:Firstly, to expand the breadth and depth of culture of Anti-Japanese War, and to consolidate the foundation for the generation of Common Values for All Humanity through strengthening the academic dissemination of culture of Anti-Japanese War based on cooperation among all parties. Secondly, to provide concrete and visible materials for the dissemination of culture of Anti-Japanese War, and to promote the factual confirmation of Common Values for All Humanity through diversified dissemination of cultural relics of Anti-Japanese War. Thirdly, to promote the deep creation, production, and cross-cultural dissemination of culture and art of Anti-Japanese War, so as to intertwine the emotional bonds of Common Values for All Humanity through vivid products of Anti-Japanese War.

Common values of humanity are the key to the creation and survival of international society. Traditional international common values are reflected in the concept of “universal values” formed in the historical process of the expansion of Western capitalist countries, embedded with the value imprint of Western utilitarianism and the supremacy of individual rights. The world today is experiencing a century of unprecedented changes, the change of international order provides an important opportunity and realistic drive for the transformation of common values of humanity. Specifically, on the one hand, the change of international order has promoted the evolution of the existing international interest pattern and changed the material basis of value bearing; on the other hand, it has also reconstructed the existing international responsibility system, established a more extensive and time-sensitive international responsibility structure, and provided a new ethical standard for the final establishment of common human values. On the whole, common values of humanity fit the global context, reflect the Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the common challenges faced by mankind, and represent the moral direction and value pursuit of human social development.

As one of the important theoretical achievements of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, the common values of humanity, with peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom as the core, explains the value criteria that all countries in the world should follow to jointly build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind, which has rich theoretical connotation and great significance of the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly advocated and carried forward the common values of humanity on major occasions, and promoted the international communication of this important concept through “head-of-state diplomacy”. Facing the complex and changing international situation and the new trend of development of media technology, international communication of the common values of humanity faces opportunities and challenges. The narrative system of the common values of humanity should be enriched from four dimensions of theory, image, struggle and cooperation, the narrative strategy should be constantly enriched, and the international communication path should be optimized. The common values of humanity should be truly and vividly reflected into the cooperative practice of China and other countries in the world to jointly address global challenges, so that its value leading function can be better exerted in promoting the construction of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind.

In an era when the profound changes unseen in a century and the centennial pandemic are intertwined, the Communist Party of China (CPC) conforms to the general trend of global development and puts forward the “Global Civilization Initiative”. It actively advocates the promotion of the common values of all mankind and ensures the diversity of global civilizations, which has created new opportunities for the global communication of the image of CPC in the new era. It is reasonable to rely on intelligent media, replace the logic of “clashes” with the logic of “cooperation”, and encourage more diverse subjects to become communicative actors of CPC's image and storytellers of CPC. In addition, the form of expression and more vivid discourse fully demonstrate to the international community the sincere desire and responsibility of the CPC to respect the diversity of world civilizations, pursue the common values of all mankind, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. Therefore, new possibilities can be created to present an authentic, three-dimensional, and comprehensive image of CPC.
