Adhering to Marxism as the guiding principle remains the fundamental hallmark of constructing China’s autonomous system of knowledge in the social sciences. The endeavor to build such a system not only aims to achieve the localization of social sciences but also pursues the sinicization of social science as an end in itself. While numerous scholars have made efforts in advancing the localization of social sciences and the instantiation of a sinicized social science，these endeavors have yet to fully meet the exigencies of accelerating the construction of China’s autonomous system of knowledge in the era. This deficiency stems are not only from the simplistic conflation of among practitioners but also from the relative neglect of the historical experiences and lessons of Marxism’s sinicization. Distinctively，serves merely as a starting point，whereas constitutes the ultimate direction and goal. In the new journey toward constructing China's autonomous system of knowledge，it is imperative to guide the effective elevation of under the leadership of Marxism while returning to the historical tradition of Marxism’s sinicization. Only through this integrated approach，the sinicization of social sciences and the instantiation of a sinicized social science can be realized effectively.鈥�

The leadership of the Communist Party of China serves as the fundamental institutional guarantee for contemporary China’s high-level policy performance. Differing from the relationship between political parties and the government in Western contexts，the Communist Party of China not only as the architect of policy objectives but also as the overarching leader driving policy implementation. While existing scholarship has examined the Party’s positioning，operational mechanisms，and institutional methods in policy implementation，research on CPC leadership remains constrained by the foundational logic of the “politics-administration dichotomy”. Consequently，it has yet to emerge as a central concern within mainstream implementation theory. Comprehensive and systematic investigations remain scarce concerning critical institutional phenomena such as the leadership system，the functional responsibilities and operational processes of the CPC organizations，and the methodological mechanisms through which the CPC leads policy fulfillment. Significant explanatory limitations persist in elucidating the overall leadership of the CPC. To construct an independent public policy knowledge system of China，research should return to the empirical phenomena. A systematic research should be developed across agenda setting，theoretical frameworks，and methodologies，which will provide new research perspectives for explaining the core mechanisms of China’s successful governance.

Youth employment currently faces severe challenges，manifesting as “slow”，“stable”，and “new” employment phenomena. The difficulties in youth employment involve multiple aspects，including employment education，employment-related social services，and the implementation of employment policies. Addressing these challenges requires adopting a collaborative governance mindset and approach. In terms of employment education，it is necessary to strengthen collaboration among families，schools，and communities，as well as to integrate employment education with ideological and political education and professional education in a “triple education” model. Regarding employment-related social services，efforts should focus on building the service system community，and enhancing the professional skills of practitioners. For employment policies，an active youth employment policy system should be established and improved，utilizing a reasonable combination of policy tools to promote multi-stakeholder  collaboration in employment governance.

As digital technology increasingly pervades all aspects of society，the conventional community governance model struggles to satisfy the needs of diverse and sophisticated growth. It is required to achieve the change to “intelligent” governance by changing and optimizing the interaction patterns among individuals，as well as between people and spaces inside the community. From the standpoint of spatial production，and utilizing the multi-case analysis approach，it is discovered in this paper that the use of digital technology breaches the limits of time and space，reshaping the spatial structure of the community；use data-driven ways to achieve precise empowerment and improve governance efficiency；optimize resource allocation to encourage cooperation and sharing. The essence of “intelligent” governance lies in leveraging digital technologies to reconstruct the spatiotemporal dimensions，relational interactions，and resource allocation in community governance. However，technology also brings risks of spatial disorder，specifically manifested as spatial alienation, technological intrusion, and privacy protection. In this sense，the path of spatial reproduction is suggested. First，by scientific design and rational layout，the proximity of public spaces may be improved to effectively combat the growth of spatial alienation. Second，develop and improve a multidimensional digital technology regulatory structure that includes technological standards，application norms，monitoring methods，and so on. Third，we will continue to improve the building of privacy protection measures，ensuring residents’ privacy and security across several dimensions such as legislation, technology，and management. The aforementioned method serves as practical inspiration for “intelligent” community government in the digital era，preserving spatial order and fostering balanced growth of social resources. This will also significantly progress the modernization of community governance.

The sense of community for the Chinese nation is a core bond of national identity and a key factor in modern social governance. Drawing on the “consensus environment” perspective in Game Theory，this study uses data from Chinese Social Survey to analyze the influencing processes of the perceived effectiveness of anti-corruption on the sense of community for the Chinese nation and its underlying mechanisms. The results reveal a U-shaped relationship：when perceived effectiveness is low，a gap in expectations weakens the sense of community for the Chinese nation；as perceived effectiveness rises, it markedly bolsters that sense. Within the trust environment and social-norm environment that jointly form the consensus environment，institutional trust significantly strengthens the sense of community for the Chinese nation，while social norms（moral norms + legal norms） exert a mediated effect that first suppresses and then promotes it，with legal norms having the greater weight. Optimizing the trust environment and refining social norms are pivotal pathways for enhancing the sense of community for the Chinese nation. Policymakers should manage anti-corruption campaigns dynamically and capitalise on the positive spill-over from heightened public confidence in anti-corruption.

R Social organizations are important participants in purchasing services，and there has been little research on strategies for cooperation between social organizations and mass organizations with both political and social attributes. Based on the perspective of multiple institutional logics，this study analysis the process of the cooperation between S social work institution in G City and the Communist Youth league in T District，it is found that the cooperation between social organizations and mass organizations faces a complex institutional environment of ideological guidance，administrative governance and professional services. Under the logic of ideological guidance，social organizations deepen their service areas by leveraging the resource platforms of mass organizations, ensuring that both parties form a joint force in ideological guidance work；under the logic of administrative governance，social organizations promote cooperation with mass organizations through demand driven，strategic autonomy，and two-way expansion；under the logic of professional services，social organizations focus on adding value to project effectiveness and integrating service resources，and ensuring the diversification of services. This study provides reference for enhancing the understanding of the cooperation between social organizations and mass organizations.
