How to Achieve the Basic Modern Living Conditions in Rural Areas by 2035 Hu Xiaoyan, Yu Fawen 2025, 7 (4):  5-17.  Abstract ( 39 )   HTML ( 6 )   PDF (1680KB) ( 9 )   Save The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that one of the overall goals for China's development by 2035 is to "ensure that rural areas basically meet the requirements for modern living." Currently, there is a lack of research on this topic, and it is urgent to strengthen related studies. Based on a review of existing policy documents and reports, combined with the characteristics of rural development in China, this paper proposes a scientific connotation of "three dimensions and one integration" for rural areas to basically achieve modern living conditions. On this basis, an evaluation index system covering rural infrastructure, rural public service levels, and rural living conditions is constructed, with target values set for 2035. Comparing these target values, this paper analyzes the main challenges China faces in achieving this goal and proposes strategies to accelerate the process. These strategies mainly include categorically promoting the modernization of key rural infrastructure, substantially improving rural public service levels, and leveraging new quality productive forces to achieve high-quality upgrades in rural living conditions.

Research on the Changing Trends and Key Tasks of Citizenization of Agricultural Migrant Population Yang Mo 2025, 7 (4):  18-27.  Abstract ( 32 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF (1398KB) ( 6 )   Save Promoting the citizenization of agricultural transfer population is a crucial task in advancing new-type urbanization. It plays a vital role in unleashing domestic demand potential, fostering integrated urban-rural development, and achieving common prosperity. Although current urbanization policies have yielded positive outcomes, several challenges persist, including the institutional barriers of the household registration system remain incompletely dismantled; urban residents still struggle to access equal access to basic public services; local governments face insufficient fiscal capacity and incentives to support urbanization; and the mechanisms for the compensated exit from rural “Three Rights”remain underdeveloped. Meanwhile, during the anticipated 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), the rural migrant workers are projected to undergo significant changes, characterized by an overall decline in total numbers, the emergence of aging trends, an increased proportion of employment in the tertiary sector, and greater concentration in county-level regions. In response, this paper proposes that advancing the urbanization of rural migrants should adhere to the following principles: adapting to the trend of population change, deepening institutional reforms, adopting tailored and tiered approaches, and promoting urban-rural coordination through systemic synergy. Specific recommendations include further deepening reforms of the household registration system; promoting equal access to basic public services for permanent urban residents; vigorously supporting the development of county-level economy and new forms of employment; enhancing local governments’ fiscal capacity and incentives for urbanization; improving mechanisms for the compensated exit of rural rights and interests.

Coordinating High-Quality Development and High-Efficiency Governance in the Process of Chinese Modernization Zhu Fengming 2025, 7 (4):  28-37.  Abstract ( 19 )   HTML ( 4 )   PDF (1257KB) ( 5 )   Save High-quality development and high-efficiency governance not only have a dialectical unity relationship where development determines governance demands and governance guarantees development quality, but also jointly serve the fundamental value orientation of "putting people at the center". Chinese-style modernization takes the transformation and integration of high-quality development and high-efficiency governance as its core and reform methodology for properly handling major relationships such as the economy and society, the government and the market, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, development and security has been formed. On the new journey, we should consolidate the institutional foundation for industrial upgrading and market fairness through improving the legal system, accelerating the construction of a digital government, building a pattern of co-construction, co-governance and shared benefits, and enhancing people's well-being. We should also remove the efficiency bottlenecks between data-driven and government services, activate the momentum of multiple entities participating in economic and social development, and achieve a precise match between development achievements and the people's demands for a better life. Constantly enhance the effectiveness of national governance, promote high-quality development, and provide support for advancing Chinese-style modernization. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The Internal Mechanism and Pathways of Service Sector Development in Maintaining an Appropriate Proportion of Manufacturing Zhang Peili, Qu Tingting 2025, 7 (4):  38-50.  Abstract ( 31 )   HTML ( 4 )   PDF (1729KB) ( 10 )   Save Manufacturing is the cornerstone of a nation's strength and the foundation for its rejuvenation. Advancing Chinese modernization necessitates maintaining an appropriate proportion of manufacturing in the economy. However, China has now entered a new phase characterized by rapid growth in service consumption and the swift expansion of the service sector, which has led to certain misconceptions about the decline in the proportion of manufacturing. In reality, China has not yet reached the inflection point where the proportion of manufacturing should decline. The growth in service consumption is insufficient to cause a decrease in the share of manufacturing; the fundamental reasons for this decline lie in the changes in both supply and demand faced by China's manufacturing sector. The development of the service sector can, in fact, promote the maintenance of an appropriate proportion of manufacturing. Lifestyle services can drive the development and transformation of manufacturing through intermediate demand, while, under regulations that promote the standardized and healthy development of the platform economy, producer services can further enhance the competitiveness of manufacturing by enabling technological and efficiency improvements. Therefore, it is essential to stimulate the endogenous dynamism of service consumption through innovation and to promote industrial integration and mutual reinforcement. First, enrich the variety of service offerings and optimize the quality of service supply to create effective demand through high-quality services, thereby expanding the domestic demand space for manufacturing. Second, accelerate the development and application of modern applicable technologies, and foster new forms of service consumption, primarily digital consumption, to lead and drive the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. Third, promote the in-depth integration of advanced manufacturing and modern services, accelerate the servitization of manufacturing, and further enhance the added value of manufacturing. Fourth, adapt to the laws of platform economic development, promote its standardized and healthy growth, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of participants in the platform economy.

Research on the Construction of China's Dynamic Risk Buffer Reserve Mechanism for Grain Under the New Situation Li Dongmei, Ma Junkai 2025, 7 (4):  51-59.  Abstract ( 23 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF (1416KB) ( 2 )   Save Food security is a paramount national priority. Under the new circumstances characterized by intertwined external risk factors, preventing imported risks and enhancing the risk buffer capacity of grain reserves are essential for strengthening the resilience and risk resistance of China's grain industry. Based on an analysis of current fluctuations in the global grain market, this paper explores potential imported risks to China's food security under the new context, including oversupply of grain, normalization of external risks, monopolistic structures in the grain market, and the "financialization" of grain futures. In response, policy recommendations are proposed for constructing a dynamic risk buffer reserve mechanism for grain in China. These include coordinating stable sources of grain reserves to balance imports and domestic self-sufficiency, optimizing grain monitoring and early warning systems to dynamically manage reserve scales and rhythms, enhancing the resilience of domestic and international supply chains to diversify grain imports and reserves through regional collaboration, and leveraging grain reserves to hedge against the financialization risks of futures, thereby bolstering food security barriers.

Research on Consensus Building in Implementing the National Strategy to Proactively Address Population Aging: A Public Communication Perspective Shen Qi, Cai Yaohui 2025, 7 (4):  60-71.  Abstract ( 11 )   HTML ( 2 )   PDF (1722KB) ( 4 )   Save As the ideological foundation of social governance, consensus provides a common semantic space for dialogue among multiple stakeholders. Currently, there exists a cognitive misconception in the governance of aging-related issues characterized by "emphasizing governance over consensus." This has led to challenges in implementing the national strategy of actively responding to population aging, including diminished effectiveness in policy dissemination resulting in public misinterpretation, insufficient value recognition of the "positive view on aging" exacerbating intergenerational cognitive divides, and a lack of consensus on "family-state collaboration" leading to ambiguous understanding of elderly care responsibilities. Grounded in China’s cultural tradition of "family-state isomorphism" and based on a three-dimensional analytical framework of "policy dissemination-social mentality-intergenerational interaction," this study proposes a systematic approach to building consensus across three dimensions—policy cognition, value identification, and responsibility coordination. This approach relies on a three-tier dissemination network comprising "mass communication, community communication, and family communication." Specifically, it involves policy translation and national education through mass communication, value reshaping and local integration through community communication, and responsibility negotiation and micro-level practices through family communication. By solidifying the consensus foundation for the governance of aging-related issues, this approach supports the effective implementation of the national strategy to actively address population aging.

The System Framework and Era Path for Developing the Silver Economy Yuan Xin, Tu Kunpeng 2025, 7 (4):  72-81.  Abstract ( 15 )   HTML ( 3 )   PDF (1345KB) ( 6 )   Save As an important engine for the coordinated development of population and economy in the new era, the silver economy has significance impact in promoting the construction of Chinese modernization. This paper, from the perspective of an aging society, employs the interaction between population and economic development to construct a systematic framework for the silver economy, integrating macro, meso, and micro dimensions. Tracing the generative logic of the silver economy reveals that it emerges as an inevitable outcome of: (1) macro-level diminishing elasticity of population regulation; (2) meso-level restructuring of labor supply; and (3) micro-level reordering of primary demand subjects. Clarifying the development connotations of the silver economy reveals that it represents: (1) an inevitable requirement for aging-adaptive economic reforms at the macro level; (2) a strategic initiative for the innovative development of silver industries at the meso level; and (3) an inevitable trend of transformation in elderly consumption habits at the micro level. Envisioning the era pathways of the silver economy reveals that to promote the coordination between population and economy development and ignite the vitality of the Silver Economy, it is essential to harness the digital era to drive innovation in macroeconomic operational paradigms and shift growth dynamics, facilitate the transformation of traditional industries and the cultivation of emerging sectors at the meso level, and advance the evolution of micro-level consumption preferences while enhancing the quality of supply.

Family Resilience in Social Transition: Connotation, Dimensions, and Cultivation Yang Juhua, Gong Jianing 2025, 7 (4):  82-94.  Abstract ( 18 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF (1839KB) ( 6 )   Save This study systematically explores the theoretical framework, core characteristics, main dimensions, and construction pathways of family resilience in the context of social transition, revealing its intrinsic mechanism as a key capacity for sustainable family development. The study reframes family resilience as a dynamic capability system of "starting point-process-outcome" and, for the first time, proposes a four-dimensional resilience framework encompassing economic, environmental, social, and relational aspects, uncovering its transition logic from resistance to growth. The construction and evolution of family resilience is a long-term, complex, and systematic task. Strengthening family resilience requires clarifying overarching principles, implementing systematic planning and comprehensive strategies, and simultaneously emphasizing the synergy between internal family development and the expansion of external support networks to achieve multidimensional enhancement. This study provides a new perspective for understanding family resilience and holds both theoretical and practical significance for family development in the new era. Future research should focus on strengthening indicator systems and quantitative assessments, delving into causal mechanisms, and providing more precise practical guidance for enhancing family resilience.

The Name and Reality of "Ecological Destruction": The Codified Response from Resource Logic to Systemic Protection Huang Xisheng, Feng Chunyang 2025, 7 (4):  95-106.  Abstract ( 24 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF (1605KB) ( 4 )   Save The conceptual definition of "ecological destruction" constitutes a fundamental theoretical premise in the codification of the Ecological Environment Code. Due to the absence of a clear definition in current legislation, judicial practice has long relied on doctrinal interpretation, resulting in difficulties such as ambiguity in identifying the regulatory object, confusion regarding behavioral intent, and disorder in typological classification during application. Under the dual-structure framework of the "Pollution Control Part" and the "Ecological Protection Part," "ecological destruction" should function as the primary regulatory object of ecological protection, reflecting both typological independence and normative coherence. Its normative definition should be constructed along two dimensions: the "structure and function of ecosystems" and "non-pollution-based destructive behavior," specifically defined as:"In the course of production and daily life, directly or indirectly altering, impairing, or disrupting the structure and function of ecosystems through non-pollution means, thereby causing or potentially causing harmful impacts, of a nature sufficient to undermine ecological balance, endanger ecological security, or damage the ecological environment."On this basis, this paper proposes a codification strategy involving: a definition clause to unify terminology, textual revision to clarify application boundaries, and the refinement of responsibility provisions to ensure doctrinal consistency.

Research on the Digital Transformation for Age-appropriation in the Intelligent Age Sun Yongjian 2025, 7 (4):  107-119.  Abstract ( 19 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF (2055KB) ( 7 )   Save In the context of rapid advancements in intelligent technology, digital age-friendly adaptation has emerged as a critical pathway to actively address the challenges of population aging. The intelligent divide, represented by AI technology, stems not only from insufficient digital literacy among older adults at the individual level but is also deeply rooted in practical barriers such as cognitive thresholds, environmental configurations, interactive interfaces, and algorithmic mechanisms. To address these issues, efforts should be made to enhance digital inclusion and well-being for the elderly through four dimensions: cognitive age-friendly adaptation to rebuild digital trust, environmental age-friendly adaptation to improve infrastructure, interactive age-friendly adaptation to optimize human-machine interaction, and algorithmic age-friendly adaptation to enhance algorithmic negotiation. Furthermore, it is essential to analyze the cost logic, boundaries of rights and responsibilities, intergenerational relationships, and value dimensions of digital age-friendly adaptation by examining tensions such as "gains and losses," "public and private," "old and young," and "disconnection and connection," thereby revealing its limitations and constraints at institutional, technological, and ethical levels. Promoting the transformation toward digital age-friendly adaptation requires adhering to principles of graded governance, collaborative co-construction, and freedom and respect, while coordinating resource allocation and multi-stakeholder participation to build a warm, restrained, and selective all-age-friendly intelligent society.
