  To achieve the longterm goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035, it is necessary to maintain a relatively high economic growth rate in the coming decadesChinas potential growth rate has declined rapidly in recent yearsThere is an urgent need to raise the potential growth rate to a higher levelThe existing western macroeconomic policy theory focuses on how to utilize the shortterm stabilization policies to maintain aggregate demand close to the potential growth rateYet this sort of theory cannot explain the rapid decline in potential economic growth, nor can it provide a feasible solution to raise the potential growth rateTo enhance the consistency of macro policy orientation is an important part of efficient macroeconomic governanceIt provides a new approach to increase Chinas potential economic growth rateThe MacroPolicy Trinity Theory provides a theoretical foundation for the consistency of macro policy orientation to reveal the underlying logic of macroeconomic policy regulationThe essence of the MacroPolicy Trinity Theory is to integrate structural policies, growth policies, and stabilization policies to provide a logical sequence of and the path to their implementationBy unifying these three types of policies, China can enhance the consistency of macro policy orientation, effectively increase the potential economic growth, and advance the Chinese modernization.

  To Bypass the“Lego-World”: A Political Philosophical Reflection on the Digitization of Everything

  To digitize everything is a major trend in the digital ageDigital identity has become a new form of human existence outside the realm of the tangible worldSocial governance in the digital age is confronted with more complex issues and this leads to the emergence of a new risk, a generalized inhibition of each unit of the governing system triggered by the quest for precise control of a societyThe digitization of governance brings with it a quest for the growth of quantifiable, comparable data across the units of governanceIn the meantime, with the help of digital technology, such control, which should have existed within sectional organizations, widely spreads to be a controlling force over the societyUnder such control, the human being is molded by digital technology into the socially desirable “shape” and becomes a customized social “building block” and the society becomes a giant LegoworldThree features characterize the Legoworld: false multidimensionality, social acceleration, and homogeneous mobilityTo distance oneself from the Legoworld, one cannot simply suppress these three characteristicsInstead, it is necessary to explore the symbiotic relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence in a digital society from the primary norm of“the revealing nature of technology”By establishing a common institutional grammar that constrains both humans and artificial intelligence, we can break the enframing that positions humans and ultimately avoid the Legoworld.

  Ludo Capitalism: The Digital Deduction and Critical Exploration of Capital Logic

  XIAO Feng, HU Yueqing

  2024, 38(6): 49-59.

  Ludo capitalism is an inevitable result of the penetration and extension of the logic of capital into the space featuring the interweave of both virtuality and reality based on digital technology, and the logic of capital is a“subjectivity logic” in the process of developing a capitalist societyThe deep superposition of capital and digital technology enhances the social and entertaining performance of video games, and provides more possibilities for people to relax, but under the domination of capitals excessively profitseeking nature, video games have been alienated into a practical field for capital proliferation and new digital exploitation, triggering the biopolitical alienation of people in the aforementioned spaceIn fact, ludo capitalism features technology that, after being capitalized, blurs the boundaries between labor and leisure at both spatial and temporal levels following technological capitalization, obscuring the fact that digital exploitation is practiced in the name of games under the logic of capitalTherefore, it is necessary to analyze and criticize the reality of capitals domination over technology in ludo capitalism based on historical materialism, and to guide the development of digital economy empowered by digital technologybased game industry with the logic of communism in order to promote the development of human freedom while promoting the development of digitalintelligent productivity.

  Huizinga regards games as a free, truly autonomous field of activity and the birthplace of all human cultureInheriting Huizingas game theory legacy, the Situationist International endows games with a revolutionary spirit that contains perfect orderHowever, the issues related to games should be studied from the perspective of realistic conditions and relations of productionAgainst the background of rapid development of digital capitalism, games have already allied with capitalism, forming a sort of “Ludo capitalism” discussed in this articleLudo capitalism is not a conceptual inventionFrom the era of singleplayer games in the form of simple commodity circulation, to the era of rent games participating in land cultivation in a living organic form, and again to the era of consumer games with the illusion of “lifetime free use” that inevitably encounter false demands in a consumer society, the characteristics of ludo capitalism are obviousThis article points out that the political, economic critique of ludo capitalism mainly focuses on the exchange magic cast by ludo capitalism on peoples social capital, the exploitation of free leisure time through the dehumanized ghost of artificial intelligence, and the ideological issues in the process of game consumption.

  The divergence of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings indicates different perspectives on a companys sustainable development, which may affect the companys decision of trade creditUsing a sample of Ashare listed companies in China from 2015 to 2021, this article empirically tests the relationship between the divergence of the ESG ratings and the provision of trade creditThe article finds that the divergence of the ESG ratings significantly reduces the companys provision of trade creditThe divergence of the ESG ratings increases the companys financing constraints and profit volatility, reduces the stability of the companys supply chain, and reduces the companys ability and willingness to provide trade creditThe effect is influenced by the companys ESG individual attributes, conditions of operating cash flow, and social trust levelIn addition, the effect has an asymmetric impact on upstream suppliers and downstream customersThis article enriches the relevant literature on the economic consequences of the divergence of the ESG ratings and has referential value for standardizing the ESG rating criteria and promoting the stability of a companys supply chain.

  Is the Hierarchy of Legal Effect Determined by Conditional Relationship? Discussion on the Difference between the Hierarchy of Legal Effect and Norm Hierarchy

  It is claimed that the hierarchy of legal effect is determined by conditional relationship, and the fact that the Hong Kong National Security Law is formulated in accordance with the Hong Kong Basic Law would determine that the legal effect of the former is inferior to that of the latterHowever, the hierarchy of legal effect is different from its validityA certain conditional relationship can only determine the validity and cannot determine the hierarchy of legal effectThe terminology“norm hierarchy”includes two different thingsThe first is the norm rank determined by a certain conditional relationship, which is the hierarchical relationship between two normsThe second is the hierarchy of legal effect as a kind of legal force derogation relationship, which is the hierarchical relationship between two types of norms, essentially a kind of conflict ruleThe setting of the hierarchy of legal effect is chosen by legislators after consideration of various factors according to the countrys political system and historical traditions, and is not restricted by conditional relationsAlthough a conditional relationship does not determine the hierarchy of legal effect, it can affect the application of the rules of the hierarchy of legal effectBased on the conditional relationship, the lowerlevel norms can inherit the priority application status of the higherlevel norms on which they are based in the higherlevel law, so that lowerlevel norms have priority over other higherlevel norms.

  The study of international migration has long been plagued by the bias of emphasizing on the countries hosting immigrants, especially on the integration of immigrants into the host countries, while neglecting the longterm interactive relationship between international migrants and their home countriesHowever, the impact of migrants on their home countries cannot be underestimated for the number of immigrants continues to riseTo explore the mechanism of the impact of international immigrants on the politics of their home country becomes necessary for the study of international migrationTransnational immigration creates a transnational social spaceThe transterritorial nature of this space enables immigrants to possibly influence their home country politicallySuch possibility and power are achieved through“dualempowerment.”On the one hand, after being resocialized in their host countries, immigrants seek to influence the politics of their home countries through “social remittances”On the other hand, in heroizing migrants as the other, the home countries of the migrants also pave the way to facilitating the migrants influence on the politics of their home countries.

  To expand the influence of Chinese literature depends not only on translation, but also on the simplification of the Chinese originalAt present, there is a wide range of abridged works for Chinese readers, but there are few simplified copies easier for foreign readers to readSimplified texts are different from abridged works in making the texts easier to read with specific orientation and language characteristicsThis article holds that in order to improve the readability of Chinese literature, we should select the right works to simplify to satisfy the need of foreignersWe should also guarantee the literary quality of the works when they are simplifiedThe main plot line should be highlighted without sacrificing the vividness and richness of the detailsInterpretations to the original text should also be ready when necessaryFinally, readability always mattersForeign readers would become interested in and appreciate Chinese literature only when they can understand what they read.

  As a great Qing Confucian scholar, Fang Bao was admired by Korean scholars when they studied Chinese literatureWhile both his writing and theoretical arguments on writing were exemplified by Korean scholars, his NeoConfucian ideas also deeply influenced Korean Confucian scholars and his elucidations on Confucian classics were widely quoted as the standard answers to questions related to Confucian classicsKorean scholars read Fang Bao works from a peripheral perspective, yet they were able to evaluate his scholarship in a much larger, international context and in this way expand late Qing scholarship represented by Fang Bao to a broad East Asian academic sphere.

  Going Beyond Justice: A Critique of the Justice Discourse in Greek Mythology and Socialist Conception of Just Law

  ZHANG Wenxi

  2024, 38(6): 143-155.

  There are two major traditions regarding the emergence of justice and lawOne is that of Greek mythology and the other is that of the ideology of just law with a socialist appearance. Focusing on the task of exploring their internal connections and differences, whether from ancient Greek to our modern time or the other way around, the viewpoint on going beyond justice will be better understood when we add a philosophical critique dimension of mythology or discourse to our studyContrary to popular beliefs, just law has its mythological implications in the real worldIt is precisely the combination of these two seemingly different traditions that has developed indepth research on historical materialism as the principle and method in discussing the norms of justiceCompletely different from any mythological knowledge about gods, the historical materialistic way of discussing justice is through apoha, which is a negative way to affirm the justice view and method that their founder himself attempted to elucidateThis means that historical materialism has discovered such factors as ideological fantasies, errors, and paradoxes in the traditional narratives about justiceThe poetic justice views of Homer, Hesiod, and Heidegger, and issues related to the socalled socialism should be identified based on this understandingA socialist content of law independent of bourgeois jurisprudence needs to be developed through expanding its own way to overcome the bourgeois way.

  Contraries and Intermediates:Aristotles Demonstration of the Number of Elements and Its Significance

  It is widely accepted that although Aristotle acknowledges in De Caelo that the universe is composed of one celestial element and four terrestrial elements (earth, water, air, and fire), he does not provide a rigorous argument to explain why only these four elements existIn fact, De Caelo includes a complete demonstration to differentiate the elementsAristotle first distinguishes three simple motions to establish the existence of three simple bodiesBased on his theory of contraries and the principle of parsimony, each heavy or light simple body within these three bodies is can further be divided into two kinds, respectivelyUltimately, Aristotle finds that there are five elements included in the entire universeThis reconstruction helps us to understand Aristotles theory of elements and the relationship between De Caelo and De Generatione et Corruptione.
