Description

"Gao Changwu asks how the "Second Integration", the combination of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's fine traditional culture, should be understood. The article, published in Party Literature in 2025, answers that it must be read through the "grand historical outlook" (da lishi guan). Gao treats this as a way of placing the concept in long historical time, a broad field of view, a coherent internal structure and a layered set of goals. The author presents the Second Integration as an original, signature theoretical innovation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially of Xi's thought on culture."
