The decoding and theoretical construction of cultural genes are inherent in the generation, in the various links, including dynamics, reality and feedback, of the “second integration—integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with Chinas fine traditional culture”. From the perspective of dynamics, the “second integration” is generated under the joint force of theory, practice, and history, and is the inevitable result of theoretical compatibility, practical breakthrough and historical development. From the perspective of reality, the “second integration” generates new theories and new cultures by decoding cultural genes that both Marxism and Chinas fine traditional culture are further developed and the newly created culture promotes the development of cultural forms of the Chinesestyle modernization. From the perspective of feedback, the new theory generated by the “second integration”, the ability to solve “specific practical problems”, the effect of the new cultures “empowering economic and social development”, and the contribution of the new changes to “progress of human civilization” are the main considerations for evaluating and adjusting theoretical innovation. A profound understanding of the generation mechanism of the “second integration” is of great theoretical and practical significance for flexibly applying the generation mechanism to the theoretical innovation of the Party and achieve the Chinization and modernization of Marxism.

Amid the global digital and intelligent transformation, the developing global social media is reshaping the international landscape due to different national political positions, legal systems and regulatory standards,and thus is exposed to dual regulatory pressures from both home and host countries. The regulation of TikTok in the United States has become a typical case that reflects the complicated interactions among the host country, the social media and its home country. To restrict and suppress TikTok, the United States has not only used administrative and legislative instruments, but judicial and publicopinion ones as well. In response, TikTok has had to resort to law suit and political lobbying as well as localized operation and public welfare. At the same time, Chinas legal support, diplomatic protection and administrative guidance became its prop behind its development. Both the measures taken in the USA and the support from China facilitate its stable development although they are fundamentally different in nature. The underlying logic behind its development resulted from a combination of factors deserves further investigation. When TikTok was playing with the USA, the dynamic and flexible SinoUS relations are essential to its survival and development. Currently, the governance dilemmas faced by global social media are mainly attributed to the imbalance of global digital governance mechanisms, the complexity of global political and economic competition and the inadequacy of the protection system for overseas interests. Human beings are entering the era of digital intelligence, and restriction and suppression will inevitably obstruct the development of digital economy and the progress of digital civilization. Given the dual attributes, the home country and the host country must work together to build and govern global social media and achieve a winwin to solve the governance dilemmas.

The crosscultural communication of Chinese movies is facing new challenges in the era of artificial intelligence. Therefore, how to enhance the crosscultural communication ability of Chinese movies has become a difficult problem to be solved in the future. The research proposes three intelligent solutions to empower Chinese movies. First, it perceives the global energy field of “affect” through designing the “intelligent affect” model and arouse the global audiences empathy and resonance with the most crossculturaleffective “genre elements”. Second, the construction of the intelligent community, which relies on artificial intelligence technology, breaks the constraints of “personalized algorithms”, eliminates the barriers of “cultural cocoons” and builds a global cultural community and memory community. Third, Chinese movies need to actively integrate the advantages of artificial intelligence technology with Chinese cultural resources to effectively enhance the imagination of Chinese movies and seek breakthroughs in the global imagination competition and establish an international brand of “Chinese story”. These solutions provide effective references for the crosscultural communication of Chinese movies in the era of artificial intelligence and promote the intelligent development of crosscultural communication of Chinese movies.

 Green finance, as a core force to boost the lowcarbon transformation of the global economy, can bridge the transformation gap between traditional highcarbon production and green development. In order to address the resource allocation problem in green finance development, this study uses the data of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) from 2011 to 2023 and combines the gravity model, social network analysis, cohesive subgroup analysis, and spatial econometric model to analyze the spatial spontaneity and external synergy of green finance resource allocation. The results show that the spatial spontaneity of green financial resource allocation in the YRD cities shows a development trend of "falling first and then rising", and varies from region to region, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang performing better than Anhui. The results of primacy show that the core cities of Anhui Province feature stronger green financial resource agglomeration ability but insufficient synergy as well; the synergy among regions is asymmetric, with the synergy between Shanghai and Anhui being relatively weak while that between Anhui and Jiangsu being mutual and closelyknit. Based on these findings, countermeasures and suggestions are given to improve the green financial service system, optimize intraregional resource allocation and enhance interregional synergistic development, so as to promote the highquality development of green finance in the Yangtze River Delta.

Workers in the manufacturing industry play a pivotal role in the critical transition of Chinas real economy from highspeed growth to highquality development. However, the current low level of these workers professional identity tends to give rise to such issues as job burnout and pronounced turnover intentions, thereby constraining the implementation of Chinas manufacturing power strategy. There are a number of factors at different levels influencing the professional identity of industrial workers. In the survey of 115 manufacturing workers, this study employs fsQCA to analyze how the five factors—core selfevaluations, career resilience, organizational support, career growth, and social support—at individual, organizational, and social levels are combined and interact with each other to form the paths to high and nonhigh professional identities respectively. The findings reveal that the high professional identity among industrial workers is constituted by five equivalent paths, while nonhigh professional identity is formed by two. Of these paths, core selfevaluations at the individual level, organizational support at the organizational level, and social support at the social level serve as core conditions and play significant roles in the paths while career resilience at the individual level acts as a peripheral condition and provides auxiliary support within the configurations.

Generative artificial intelligence, as a typical representative of new quality productivity, is deeply integrated with the construction of ideological and political courses in primary, secondary, and tertiary education. It is not only an inevitable requirement for the digital transformation of education in the digital age, but also an innovative practice to implement the fundamental task of moral education and talent cultivation. Based on the dialectical relationship between technological empowerment and educational laws, this study systematically deconstructs the fusion logic of technological empowerment and educational laws to show that generative artificial intelligence provides precise content and intelligent practical support for ideological and political education. To meet such deep challenges as mismatching between stages, lack of collaborative mechanisms among teachers, barriers in crossing stages, and fragmented and singular evaluation system of data safety, it is suggested to promote the coordinated path of integrating different educational stages such as constructing a comprehensive and interconnected education data governance system, promoting the hierarchical cultivation of intelligent literacy between teachers and students, strengthening the integrated education and digital resilience, and improving the quality monitoring model of the entire education chain.

The meanings assigned to climates in the Western literary works correspond with the intellectual and cultural conceptions of their times, and the evolution of these meanings reflects the historical changes in the man and nature relationship. During the Renaissance, climate was understood metaphorically, with causal links drawn between climatic changes and moral norms and social order; in the Enlightenment when mechanistic science and theological ideas ran rampant, climate came to be seen as an objective natural phenomenon independent of human concerns; in the 20th century and afterwards, under the influence of ecological thought, global warming has been understood as a product of human environmental destruction and pollution. Climate fictions employ multiscalar narratives to describe the unpredictable global warming. They associate global warming with individual lives and their existential experiences, trying to urge readers to change their ideas and behaviors. The shifting meanings of climates offer a thread for understanding the history of man and nature symbiosis; viewing these changes through the lens of environmental history opens a new pathway for examining the reciprocal relationship between literature and history.
