President Xi Jinping has called for a fresh approach to Marxism, emphasizing its adaptation to China’s unique realities and the demands of modern times. Speaking at a key conference in Beijing, Xi stressed the need to “integrate Marxism with China’s traditional culture” while building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences.
The push comes as part of a 20-year project to boost Marxist theory research, which Xi says has been vital in advancing the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s innovative ideas. “Public communication is key,” he added, urging efforts to make these theories more accessible to everyday citizens.
Cai Qi, a top CPC official, echoed Xi’s message, highlighting the importance of addressing China-specific challenges and exploring how ancient cultural values can drive modern innovation.
Why it matters? As young professionals and students globally seek insights into Asia’s evolving political landscape, China’s focus on ‘theorizing with Chinese characteristics’ signals how traditional ideologies are being reimagined for a digital, interconnected world.
