(Abstract)

Zhang Wenxian

Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, founded on the great practice of building the “socialist rule of law” with Chinese characteristics, is the Marxist theory of the rule of law in contemporary China and the 21st century. It originates from the distillation of experience, the crystallization of reason, and the forging and refinement of history, and inherently possesses practical logic, scientific theoretical logic and profound historical logic. To carefully study, scientifically grasp and deeply comprehend these three logics and the inherent relationship among them will help to deepen the understanding of the formation and development, the fundamental spirit, the core essence, and practical requirements of Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, to enhance political, theoretical, and affective identification with it, and to improve the mighty force of belief, the ideological focus and the forward force in advancing overall law-based governance, building the rule of law in China, and promoting the modernization of state governance in the new era.
