Study of Social Alienation on Digital Platforms from the Perspective of Marx’s Theory of Communication

Abstract: The rise of digital platforms has profoundly transformed the spatial structure, media forms, and organizational patterns of human interaction. On the one hand, it has broken through the constraints of time and space, expanding the possibilities for social members to express themselves, connect, and collaborate; on the other hand, under the combined influence of the logic of capital, algorithmic power, and data ownership, it has given rise to new forms of alienation in social activities. Marx’s theory of communication, taking real human beings and their social relations as its starting point, reveals the intrinsic connections between communication and production, between forms of communication and social relations, and between the freedom of the subject and alienated domination. It thus provides a crucial theoretical framework for analyzing social alienation on digital platforms. Social alienation on digital platforms is not merely a side effect of technology, but rather the result of platform capital organizing, extracting, and monetizing attention, data, and emotional relationships. This alienation manifests primarily in the digitization of communicative subjects, the quantification of social relationships, the spectacle-ization of social content, the fragmentation of social time, and the stratification of public social spaces. To address social alienation on digital platforms, it is necessary to uphold a people-centered value stance and foster a concerted effort across platform governance, algorithmic regulation, data rights protection, digital literacy cultivation, and the reconstruction of real-world communities. This will drive digital communication away from the logic of capital accumulation and back toward the free and comprehensive development of human beings. Read More

Nowledge Map Analysis of Travel-Based Elderly Care Research Using CiteSpace: Evolutionary Trajectories, Hot Topics, and Emerging Trends

Abstract: Focusing on travel-based elderly care in China’s ethnic minority regions, this paper systematically reveals the research hotspots and evolving trends over the past decade by performing a bibliometric analysis and using CiteSpace to visualize 239 valid articles from the CNKI database.The volume of publications exhibits a three-stage pattern initial emergence and dormancy, rapid expansion, and qualitative improvement and is significantly driven by the rural revitalization strategy, the needs of an aging population, and policies promoting the integration of culture and tourism. The core research hotspots center on “travel-based elderly care,” forming eight thematic clusters and five dimensions. The timezone map reveals that the research has gradually evolved from an early stage of “model exploration and age-friendly spatial design” to a multidimensional framework characterized by “policy-driven + model innovation + technology-enabled” approaches. Although current research has progressed in policy coordination and industrial integration, challenges remain, including product homogenization, one-way cultural interaction, and suboptimal community participation mechanisms. Future research should further explore the spiritual and cultural values of ethnic groups, promote the localized application of IoT and big data technologies, and facilitate the transformation of travel‑based elderly care in ethnic regions toward a model characterized by “localization, smart solutions, and collaboration.” This will provide theoretical and practical support for rural revitalization and the high‑quality development of elderly care services.

Rules Governing the Conversion of Supervisory Evidence at the Interface between Supervisory Enforcement and Criminal Justice

Abstract: Following the reform of China's national supervision system, fact-finding in duty-related criminal cases is conducted primarily during supervisory investigation, while review for prosecution and criminal adjudication are undertaken by the criminal justice system. Whether evidence collected by supervisory organs can enter criminal proceedings in a regulated manner and withstand judicial scrutiny directly affects the legality, fairness, and efficiency of duty-related criminal case handling. Current law provides that evidence lawfully collected by supervisory organs may be used in criminal proceedings and requires evidence collection, preservation, examination, and use in supervisory investigations to conform to the requirements and standards of criminal adjudication. These provisions, however, remain largely principle-based. The specific standards governing cross-procedural admission and review have not been sufficiently developed. In practice, major difficulties include the conflation of evidentiary eligibility with admissibility, insufficient alignment between supervisory evidence-collection rules and criminal trial standards, uncertain rules for excluding illegally obtained evidence and curing procedural defects, and weak coordination among supervisory organs, procuratorates, and trial courts. This article argues for a tiered distinction among evidentiary eligibility, admissibility, and probative value; trial-oriented evidence collection; differentiated review by evidence type; strengthened exclusion and cure mechanisms; and an integrated process of early procuratorial involvement, prosecutorial review, supplementary investigation, trial testing, and institutional feedback. These reforms would move supervisory evidence from merely being capable of entering criminal proceedings to being legally capable of serving as a basis for conviction. Read More

Analysis of the Challenges in Government-Enterprise Collaboration in Emergency Supply Reserve Management During Major Disaster Scenarios

Abstract: Against the backdrop of global climate anomalies and frequent extreme disasters, government-enterprise joint reserves have become the core approach to strengthening China's emergency material supply system. Under the "comprehensive security and emergency response" governance framework, multiple models-including government physical reserves, corporate contractual storage agreements, and capacity-based flexible reserves-are implemented concurrently. However, during major disasters, collaborative reserve mechanisms often face practical challenges such as supply misalignment, insufficient corporate participation, and unclear delineation of responsibilities. Drawing on multi-stakeholder game theory and principal-agent theory, and analyzing typical major disaster cases like floods and heavy rainfall, this paper systematically examines the operational challenges of government-enterprise joint reserves across five dimensions: interest alignment, information communication, incentive mechanisms, management systems, and emergency coordination. It analyzes the underlying causes of these difficulties and provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for designing sustainable incentive mechanisms and optimizing collaborative reserve strategies.

From the Mass Line to "Joint Creation": Theoretical Development and Practical Exploration of Grassroots Governance in China

Abstract: The proposal and implementation of the concept of "jointly creating a beautiful environment and a happy life" represent a significant and profound transformation in China's grassroots governance model.  This paper seeks to establish an interpretive framework spanning history, theory, and practice, elucidating how "joint creation" constitutes a creative inheritance and institutional development of the Party's "mass line" within the governance context of the new era. The article first traces back to Comrade Mao Zedong's On Practice and On Contradiction, outlining the core epistemological and methodological essence of the Mass Line. It then discusses how "Co-Creation" transforms traditional political philosophy into concrete, actionable governance techniques through the "Five Shared" operational system: shared decision-making, shared development, shared management, shared evaluation, and shared benefits. Building on this foundation, the article further indicates that "co-creation" has progressively formed a four-dimensional operational model in practice: "Party leadership-process reengineering-institutional adaptation-technological empowerment." This model helps resolve long-standing challenges such as the fragmentation of bureaucratic systems, the dispersion of governance resources, and insufficient social participation, thereby reshaping the interactive relationship between the state and society in grassroots governance. Finally, the article briefly reflects on tensions and difficulties encountered in practice, explores its contributions to the theory of socialist governance with Chinese characteristics, and discusses its implications for modernizing the national governance system and governance capabilities.

Improving the Extraterritorial Application System of China's Trademark Law-From the Perspective of a Comparison between Chinese and American Rules

Abstract: Against the backdrop of deepening economic globalization and the advancement of foreign-related rule of law, the extraterritorial application of domestic law has become an important legal tool for States to defend their sovereignty and protect intellectual property rights and economic interests. Taking comparative law as its research method, this paper first reviews the legal basis and evolution of rules governing the extraterritorial application of domestic law in the United States, and systematically analyzes the adjudicative standards and operational mechanisms underlying the extraterritorial application of the U.S. Lanham Act. It then examines the overall development trend of the extraterritorial application of China's Trademark Law, clarifying the existing gaps, controversies, and practical shortcomings at the legislative, judicial, and law enforcement levels. By comparing the institutional differences between China and the United States in the extraterritorial application of trademark law across the three dimensions of legislation, law enforcement, and adjudication, and in light of China's objectives of building an IP powerhouse and a strong trading nation as well as the practical demands of improved foreign-related rule of law, this paper draws on the mature practical experience of the United States and proposes optimization schemes at four levels-legislative improvement, law enforcement standardization, judicial guidance, and talent guarantee-with a view to filling the institutional gaps in the extraterritorial application of China's Trademark Law, strengthening China's capacity to protect overseas trademark rights, constructing a systematized set of rules for the extraterritorial application of domestic law, and promoting the coordinated development of foreign-related rule of law in the new era.

The Judicial Dilemma of the Right to Be Forgotten in the Digital Age and the Shift to Localization Paths

Abstract: Digital technology endows information with the technical characteristic of permanent storage, giving rise to the social governance challenge of "digital stigmatization ." Foreign General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) constructs a normative system for the right to be forgotten, centered on physical deletion and simultaneous cleanup across the entire network. This paradigm presents a structural contradiction with China's current civil rights framework and public law governance logic . An analysis of typical personality rights judgments such as the "Ren Jiayu v. Baidu case" and the current doctrinal application of Article 47 of the Personal Information Protection Law reveals that claims related to being forgotten in China's judicial arena are facing multiple normative obstacles: the principle of legality in civil rights creates a closed loop in judicial logic; existing deletion rights norms only apply to illegal actions, failing to address the personality infringement caused by the loss of relevance value of legally published information over time; and a complete transplantation of foreign deletion paradigms would also generate multiple institutional contradictions in terms of freedom of speech protection, digital technology adaptation, and the legitimacy of private entity regulation. This paper abandons the binary debate of "transplantation or rejection," employing functionalist comparative law as its analytical tool to propose a localized normative construction path that replaces deletion with data sealing. It rejects the core of foreign data erasure systems, focusing instead on severing identifiable links and implementing tiered restrictions on queries. It leverages existing public law systems in China for sealing minor offense records and public security violation records to achieve normative integration. Based on this, following a gradual legislative logic, it outlines a tiered institutional construction scheme extending from the criminal public domain to the … Read More

Research on the Development of High-Quality Teachers for Ideological and Political Theory Courses in the New Era

Abstract: Ideological and Political Theory (IPT) courses stand as the core curriculum to fulfill the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education, and a high-quality cohort of IPT teachers serves as the foundational backbone for delivering effective IPT teaching and cultivating young talents tasked with national rejuvenation. Since the launch of the New Era, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government have placed unprecedented emphasis on the development of IPT teaching teams and released a suite of policy documents to orient team building. However, the construction of such teaching teams is still plagued by practical challenges: inadequate coordinated improvement of teachers’ political literacy and professional capabilities, fragmented integrated development across primary, secondary and tertiary education, and defective teacher training and cultivation mechanisms. Against the backdrop of advancing China’s strategy of building a powerful nation through education, this study draws on existing academic literature and questionnaire survey data, employing literature analysis and systematic analysis as core research methods. It elaborates on the intrinsic connotations and value implications of constructing high-quality IPT teaching teams in the New Era, identifies prominent bottlenecks obstructing team development, and puts forward targeted optimization strategies from four dimensions: political guidance, comprehensive competency upgrading, cross-stage integrated development, and institutional system improvement. This research intends to facilitate high-quality development of IPT teachers and furnish robust talent support for nurturing young generations who can shoulder the historic mission of rejuvenating the Chinese nation.

Exploration of Alleviation Paths for Unbalanced Digital Services in Age-Friendly Cities from the Perspective of Algorithm Governance

Abstract: Due to the combined impact of urbanisation, an ageing population and digitalisation, many places around the world are now facing age-friendly smart city construction. However, with the rapid development of algorithm-driven digital public services, serious service disparities and an aggravated digital divide for older people have inadvertently occurred. This paper proposes a way to address the problem of uneven development of digital services in age-friendly communities through algorithm governance. Systematically analyze the structural, technical and cognitive dimensions of digital exclusion, and demonstrate how 'AI ageism' and algorithmic bias in resource allocation systematically disadvantage older adults. Incorporate the World Health Organization's age-friendly framework and contemporary theories of algorithmic accountability to identify three main forms of service imbalance in this study: infrastructural mismatch, algorithmic opacity, and participatory deficit. Therefore, the following multi-level governance path has been proposed. Institutionalisation of age-inclusive algorithmic auditing, enhancement of digital literacy through participatory design, and enforcement of transparent, explainable AI policies tailored to elderly cognitive patterns are included. In short, this paper offers some ideas for promoting equitable and inclusive ageing in old age in the new era of urbanisation. Read More

Study on the Application of the Output Hypothesis to English Writing Teaching in Senior High Schools from the Perspective of Cultivating Critical Thinking Ability

Abstract: This study explores the application of Swain's Output Hypothesis in cultivating critical thinking skills within high school English writing instruction, aiming to address the core contradiction between the mindset cultivation objectives outlined in the General High School English Curriculum Standards (2020 Edition) and the prevailing tendency towards template-based teaching. Through textual analysis, theoretical integration, and model design, the research first diagnoses the current state and issues in high school English writing instruction and student writing. Subsequently, it constructs a "controversy-driven writing framework" based on these findings, proposing two innovative principles: the adoption of a three-dimensional screening criterion for topic design that emphasizes social relevance, openness, and debatability; and the implementation of a three-stage cognitive gradient in task execution, namely "multi-perspective input, followed by forced stance output, and concluding with metalinguistic reflection." The study suggests that through stance-switching tasks and a dynamic feedback mechanism, the complexity of student arguments and critical thinking performance can be enhanced over time, providing a systematic solution to the homogenization dilemma in college entrance examination writing.

Study on the Spatial Morphology of Manchu Tomb-guarding Village from the Perspective of Space Syntax: A Case Study of Huiyingfang Village in Zunhua

Abstract: As a regional village type with Chinese characteristics, tomb-guarding village carries a unique institutional culture and space construction logic, but the academic circles have paid little attention to it. This study takes Huiyingfang village as the research object, and uses the space syntax method to compare and quantitatively analyze the spatial form of the village in the late Qing Dynasty and 2023, it reveals the evolution characteristics and internal mechanism of its spatial structure. The study found that: (1) the core area of village integration has remained stable since the late Qing Dynasty, and the overall street skeleton continues the barracks road network pattern of the Qing Dynasty, showing a long-term inheritance of spatial inertia; (2) the village road choice shows a significant urban-rural polarization, and the peripheral historical resources are destroyed and idled due to the lack of protection, which weakens the overall visitability and attractiveness of the village (3) the intelligibility of villages has been significantly improved with the development of villages, and the spatial identification has been enhanced. However, in the process of urbanization, the traditional human texture is facing the dilemma of gradual deconstruction. This paper evaluates the spatial development trend and existing problems of tomb-guarding village from the perspective of time and space, and puts forward targeted development strategies in order to provide scientific reference for the protection and renewal of the same type of traditional villages.

Deep Learning Strategies for Senior High English Reading based on the Activity-Based Approach to English Learning

Abstract: English Curriculum Standards for General Senior High Schools (2017 Edition, revised in 2025) emphasize the concept of "deep learning" more explicitly and systematically. However, issues such as formalized, mechanized, and fragmented teaching activities remain prominent, failing to achieve the effect of deep teaching. Taking “After Twenty Years” selected from Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP) Compulsory 1 as an example, this study explores how to effectively promote deep teaching in reading classes through progressive activities that move from being based on the text, to delving into the text, and finally to going beyond the text, thereby stimulating higher-order thinking.

From Port to Chinese Shops: Lingnan Commercial Culture and Chinese Retail Localization in the Caribbean

Abstract: This paper explores how Lingnan commercial culture was transmitted and localized through Chinese retail network in the Caribbean from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. With historical materials, ethnographic records, and literary texts, it tries to sort out the movement of Guangdong migrants from planting labor to small commerce. The Chinese shop helped migrants settle and earn a living in the Caribbean. It worked as a daily mechanism, embedding migrants in local economies by providing ordinary goods, credit, long hours service, family labor, and customer contact. Kin sponsorship, native-place ties, apprenticeship, rotating credit, schools, and benevolent associations helped these retail networks to grow across different islands and generations. Therefore, the Lingnan characteristics of the shops lay in their flexible commercial practices rather than in fixed cultural symbols. Read More

Research on Existing Dilemmas and Innovative Paths of University Student Management in the New Era

Abstract: Student management acts as the core carrier for universities to fulfill the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and cultivate all-round developed talents. Against the backdrop of the new era, digital transformation, diversified youth value orientations and the construction of the "Three-Full Education" system have raised higher standards for university student management. This paper elaborates on the core connotation and educational value of modern university student management, sorts out three prominent practical dilemmas including backward management concepts, fragmented collaborative governance systems and insufficient capacity for digital precise management. Furthermore, it constructs systematic innovative paths from three dimensions: renewal of educational concepts, optimization of collaborative operation mechanisms and digital intelligent empowerment. The research aims to promote the transformation of student management from "regulation-oriented" to "student-centered service education", optimize the full-chain growth support system for students, and provide theoretical references for universities to realize the modernization of student governance.

The Avant-Garde Turn: On Sun Ganlu’s Novel A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains

Abstract: Writing the full-length novel A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, Sun Ganlu adopts a groundbreaking avant-garde stance, completing a remarkable shift from avant-garde literary experimentation to revolutionary historical narration. The successful publication of this work not only marks a transition in the writer’s personal creation, but also delivers a creative transformation scheme of avant-garde aesthetics for genre literary narration. With the self-awareness of "returning to the historical scene", Sun Ganlu frees revolutionary historical narration from the conventional grand framework. Through three-dimensional innovations in themes, narration and style, he builds a new textual form integrating popularity, avant-garde quality and historical profundity. This avant-garde shift originates not merely from the writer’s subjective awareness, but is also profoundly shaped by the changes of the times, market pressures and literary traditions. Furthermore, in this work, Sun Ganlu not only achieves innovations in revolutionary literary narration, but also accomplishes the transposition of artistic classics and the depiction of Shanghai’s spatial cultural memory. Given the insufficient multi-dimensional academic research on Sun Ganlu’s A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, this paper takes the "avant-garde turn" as the entry point under integrated literary and contextual considerations, examines the specific manifestations of this shift in the novel, dissects its underlying causes, and explores the literary value of the work.
