Jiang's Communication Theory And Contemporary Value

In Marxist classics, the concept ’communication’, along with the advance of the human society, first came into existence among productivity, division of labor and modes of production. As the premise of the social development, communication undoubtedly played an irreplaceable and impressive role in upgrading productivity, transforming social relations, enforcing globalization and fulfilling the overall development of the mankind. Jiang Zemin theoretically made a creative analysis of the communication in the development of the country, society and individuals on a basis of Marxist historical materialism, and elaborated theory of communication adopted in upgrading productivity, promoting democratic politics, preserving social stability, carrying forward ethos, implementing the strategy of developing the country through science and education and the strategy of sustainable development, furthering opening up to the outside world, advancing world peace and development, and improving the construction of the party, which was an exploration of Marxist theory of communication at the micro level, converting theory of communication from a philosophical subject to a practical issue of the society, setting up a new perspective on theory of communication. Jiang Zemin’s theory of communication, essentially different from communicative rationality by Habermas, takes in the essence of theories of Marx, Engels and Lenin, and further enriches theories of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping on the basis of the contemporary situation in China, which creates a new episode of socialist theory with Chinese characteristics with a background of globalization and an opportunity of reform and opening up.People are the subject and drive of reform and development as well as a constant resource of power and a consolidated base. Chinese Communist Party should strengthen the close collaboration with various democratic parties, all circles in the society and the broad masses to ensure the great unity of the people nationwide. World peace, national development and social advance are all irresistible trends of the era. Peace, stability, development and cooperation represent the voice of the global citizens. Only when established according to the people’s will and in the friendly atmosphere is communication among different peoples and countries able to improve the comprehensive development of the people’s progress. Facing the trend of economic globalization and science globalization, China will take up a more positive stance to step into the world, and further conduct trading, economic and technological cooperation and scientific and cultural exchanges, holding fast to the principle of equality and mutual benefits. The fundamental aim of liberating and developing productivity is the overall development of mankind. The advancement of the society should result in the development of the individuals. Furthering reforms and improving the social system are intended to create better environment for human development. Every cause of the socialism with Chinese characteristics should satisfy the material and culture needs of the people, and enhance the quality of the people or help the comprehensive development of the people.The reform and opening up and the modernization construction in China require the Communist Party of China to summarize the practical experience, carry forward the scientific spirit of pursuing reality and fostering innovation, enrich and develop Marxism, and consistently enhance the causes of the socialism with Chinese characteristics on the basis of the achievement of the human civilization. Jiang Zemin’s theory of communication, based on the predecessors’ foundation, forges ahead, keeps pace with the times, and scientifically responds to the challenges brought by the era and the major difficulties, further enriching and developing Marxist theory of communication and guaranteeing its theoretical value and realistic significance in advancing the harmonious communication of the world, the general advancement of the society and the all-round development of mankind with freedom.
