Since the 18th  National Congress of the CPC, the economic development of China has made historic progress and Xi Jinping’s Economic Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which takes new developmental thinking as its main content, has developed through practice. This is an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and also the newest fruit of the development of Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics. The Journal is organizing six articles from different perspectives on their study of the economic thinking of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristic for a New Era. Professor Hong Yinxing from Nanjing University points out that political economy with Chinese characteristics should start from the basic standpoints and epochal characteristics in developing the theory of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and should be laid down in terms of the three levels of economic development, economic institutions, and economic operation. Professor Liu Wei from Renmin University of China expounds the great significance of Xi Jinping’s new developmental thinking in terms of historical, theoretical and practical logic. CASS researcher Gao Peiyong summarizes the far-reaching changes in the theory and practice of macroeconomic adjustment and control over the last five plus years in terms of the five areas of analytical perspective, developmental thinking, main policy line, implementation mechanisms and the role of government. He holds that under the guidance of Xi Jinping economic thought, a preliminary system has been established for macroeconomic adjustment and control for the new era. To gain a better grasp of the demands of the high-quality development of the Chinese economy put forward by Xi Jinping, Jin Bei, CASS researcher and Dean of the Business School of Zhengzhou University, explores the new thinking of high-quality development from five perspectives: economic behavior and development dynamics; the relationship of instrumental rationality and value goals; economic entities and their requirements; methodological structure and accuracy; and the strategic rules of new developmental thinking. CASS researcher Yan Kun explores the theoretical origins and epochal significance of the rural revitalization strategy and analyses the main innovations and practical path of the new thinking on the rural revitalization strategy. Researchers Gao Shiji and Li Zuojun, both from the Resource and Environmental Policy Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Council, discuss the great significance of Xi Jinping ecological civilization thought from the point of view of its epochal nature, institutional guarantees, and high-quality economic development. We hope to advance the scholarly principles of the innovative theory of the CPC by summarizing the practical experience of the continuous deepening of the historic changes in China in the new era.
