Research On The Process Of Sinicization Of Marxism Under The Influence Of The International Environment

The sinicization of Marxism has undergone nearly a century of development since its inception.In these long and hard years,the sinicization of Marxism has always been affected and restricted by two “Concrete Realities”,i.e.,international and national conditions.In the process,the CPC members have always regarded the international environmental factor as an important basis of developing and executing China's internal and external strategic policies,and continued to propel the process of the sinicization of Marxism while responding to international environmental opportunities and challenges.In a sense,every historical leap and every theoretical result of the process of the sinicization of Marxism are closely related to the development and evolution of the international environment.The international environmental impact is of proper significance to the study of the sinicization of Marxism.To study the process of the sinicization of Marxism under the impact of the international environment,it is necessary to figure out the basic concepts of the international environment and the sinicization of Marxism,as well as their interaction.For a sovereign nation,the international environment is not only an external influencing factor,but also a dynamic influence process,characterized by objectivity,regularity,duality and variety;besides,it is not only a composite concept,but also a system concept,which comprises numerous components.The international environment has a vital impact on the path selection,institutional norms,ideology,development strategies,especially foreign strategies of a country.The sinicization of Marxism is the sum total of all theoretical and practical explorations led by the CPC since modern times.To solve the problem of China,Marxism must be localized in China,which helps to break the practical logic of modernization equal to westernization,enhance the discourse power of Marxism in the world civilization system,and give play to the promoting role of China in optimizing the international environment.The international environment has a deep impact on the cognition,practice and innovative development of Marxism in China.Therefore,to promote The sinicization of Marxism,it is necessary to scientifically cope with the international environmental impact.This is the objective requirement for the sinicization of Marxism advancing with times,the objective requirement for boosting Socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era,as well as the inevitable requirement for pushing the results of localization of Marxism in China to the world.The seed of localization of Marxism in China germinated when modern China was threatened by domestic strife and foreign aggression.The international environment has a deep impact on the launch of localization of Marxism in China.After the Opium War broke out in 1840,China became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society step by step.In that period,the international economic environment,the international political environment and the international cultural environment all had a profound impact on modern China.Faced with such a serious national crisis,the advanced people from all classes of China began reflecting on history and reality,and tried to extricate China from the backward plight by taking “Western Learning” paths.However,all these paths failed as they were not suitable for China's actual conditions.The outburst of World War I and the victory of the October Revolution profoundly changed the process of world history,and brought significant changes to China's international environment.The overseas study experiences,the controversy between Chinese and foreign social thoughts,the upswing of revolutionary movements worldwide and other factors were intertwined with one another,became important external conditions for the emergence of early Marxists in China,and promoted the rapid awakening and growth of the Chinese working class.A number of advanced patriotic members began contacting,learning,embracing and spreading Marxism,and founded the CPC with the help of Soviet Russia and Comintern,thereby,opening the road to exploring localization of Marxism in China.At the inception of the CPC,China's international environment was extremely complicated.The attack and damage brought by the international imperialists' policy toward China,the war and peace between imperialists and socialists,the close and estranged relations between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Chinese revolution,the increase and decrease of the power of the “Third World”,the restructuring of world power,the formation of the bipolar pattern,as well as other international environment variables were interweaved with one another,produced a significant impact on the revolution and construction of China,and became an important basis for the CPC to develop and implement national strategies and policies.On the basis of accurately researching and grasping the international environment in the first half of the 20 th century,focusing on the fundamental question of China's revolution – “what Marxism-Leninism is and how to adhere to Marxism-Leninism”,the CPC's first-generation leading group represented by Mao Zedong specified a series of basic problems regarding China's revolution and construction,practically developed a unique road of the Chinese new democratic revolution and the socialist revolution,won the great victory of the new democratic revolution and the socialist revolution,preliminarily explored the socialist construction of China,formed an important theoretical achievement--Mao Zedong Thought,and ushered in the first historical leap of the sinicization of Marxism.In that period,the CPC's theory and practice were not mature enough;the understanding of some international issues was partial;and some “left-leaning” and right-leaning mistakes were committed,resulting in some failures and setbacks of China's revolution.Nevertheless,on the whole,the process of the sinicization of Marxism advanced with twists and turns.The valuable experience and theoretical results accumulated by the CPC in the process of propelling China's revolution reacted on the international environment,and produced a profound impact on the development of the world's proletarian revolution and colonial and semi-colonial national liberation,as well as the historical process of human society in the 20 th century.Since the late 1970 s,the international environment has undergone complicated and profound changes.The trend of economic globalization initially emerged;the multi-polarization in international politics began to take shape;great changes took place in Soviet Union and Eastern Europe,which became the international environment to be confronted and dealt with in China's socialist construction.The CPC members represented by Deng Xiaoping actively responded to the changes of the international environment,clearly proposed the important judgment of peace and development being the themes of the times from the perspective of domestic and international situations,reestablished the Marxist ideological line of seeking truth from facts,re-understood “what socialism is and how to build it”,raised the theory of initial stage of socialism and the “Three-Step” strategic objective,implemented the reform and opening-up and the major strategic plan of socialist modernization construction,opposed bourgeois “liberalization”,resisted the “peaceful evolution” of capitalism,and created the second historical leap of the sinicization of Marxism.Deng Xiaoping Theory created the theoretical system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics,inherited,enriched and developed Marxism,opened up a new realm of the sinicization of Marxism,boosted the new development of the global socialism,and provided a brand-new model for countries to realize modernization,thereby,being of great significance to the world development and progress.After the 1990 s,facing the new opportunities and challenges brought to China's socialist cause and the Party's cause by the international environment,the CPC members represented by Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao actively followed the trend of the times,promoted the new development of socialism with Chinese characteristics while responding to the international environmental impact,proposed the important thought of “Three Representatives”,implemented the Scientific Outlook on Development,consolidated the ruling foundation of the CPC,created a new dimension of socialism with Chinese characteristics,and made active contributions to the world progress and development.After the 18 th CPC National Congress,international conditions,national conditions and the Party's conditions underwent profound changes again.The world multi-polarization became irreversible,and hegemonism and neo-interventionism rose;with the further advancement of economic globalization,unstable and uncertain factors in development increased;scientific and technological progress spread in depth,providing new opportunities for China to achieve innovation-driven development;with the prominence of global problems,building a community with a shared future for mankind has become the common aspiration of people around the world;with exchanges and mutual learning of world civilization,the struggle in the field of ideology became more profound and complicated.Faced with unprecedented opportunities and challenges,the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping as the core created a new thought and a new strategy for domestic governance while coping with the international environmental impact,stressed the need to insist on and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics,proposed the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation;implemented the “Five-in-One” overall layout to fully propel the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics;implemented the strategic layout of “Four Comprehensives”,and created a new situation of national governance;implemented “Five Development Ideas” to win development advantages in intense international competition;made innovations on the CPC's guiding ideology,and put forward Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.Moreover,the CPC actively responded to the international environmental impact,put forward a series of new ideas and initiatives regarding China's international exchanges,including firmly following the path of peaceful development to actively promote world peace and development;participating in international affairs with a more positive attitude to play the role of a responsible power;promoting the international order and the international system to develop in a fair and rational direction;establishing an international relation of win-win cooperation to build a community with a shared future for mankind.Under the proper leadership of the CPC,the socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,and the sinicization of Marxism has ushered in a new historical leap.The theoretical aim of historical research is summarizing experience and enlightening the future.The CPC has accumulated rich theoretical and practical experience in the process of propelling the sinicization of Marxism.Always adhering to and developing Marxism is the theoretical prerequisite of coping with the international environmental impact and propelling the sinicization of Marxism;keeping a foothold in China's actual conditions and development reality is the practical basis of coping with the international environmental impact and propelling the sinicization of Marxism;closely following the trend of the times is the inevitable requirement for coping with the international environmental impact and propelling the sinicization of Marxism;establishing a world view is the new horizon of coping with the international environmental impact and propelling the sinicization of Marxism;adhering to the CPC's leadership is the fundamental guarantee of coping with the international environmental impact and propelling the sinicization of Marxism.For the CPC members,such basic experience has a significant guiding and enlightening role in propelling the historical process of localization of Marxism in China.We must always keep it in mind,and continue to practice.
