Xi Jinping’s economic thinking is the latest form of the development of Marxist political economy in the narrow and broad senses in the 21st century. In the development and innovation of political economy with Chinese characteristics in the narrow sense, Xi Jinping’s economic thinking has formed a theoretical system with the new development philosophy as the main content and covering seven “upholds”; it has developed a strategy of building a modern economy that is compatible with building a strong socialist modern state; and it has grasped the principal social contradiction at the new development stage and promoted the theoretical innovation and creation of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics. On political economy in a broad sense, it attaches great importance to the study of the new situation and new problems of contemporary capitalist economic relations, and has deepened the theoretical exploration of the essential characteristics and laws of contemporary capitalist economic relations. Against the background of the new round of great development, transformation and adjustment of science, technology and the economic and political pattern that the world is experiencing today, and the numerous unstable and uncertain economic,political and social factors that humankind is facing ,Xi Jinping’s economic thinking founded the political economy of the human community with a shared future. In the deep understanding and profound grasp of the theoretical characteristics, theoretical qualities, historical inheritance, contemporary issues, theoretical essence and basic positions of Xi Jinping’s economic thinking, it is expected to sublimate the theoretical charm and wisdom of Marxist political economy in the 21st century.
