　　Abstract

　　Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, especially after reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China has continuously advanced the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist political economy. Through the great practice of economic construction with Chinese characteristics, a socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics has been formed. As the latest theoretical achievement of Marxist political economy in contemporary China and the 21st-century world, Xi Jinping’s economic thought deeply reflects the Communist Party of China’s new understanding of the laws of economic development. With more pronounced subjectivity, originality, completeness, and theoretical richness, it not only provides a scientific guide for China’s high-quality economic development and the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country but also propels the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics to a new stage, contributing Chinese wisdom to the innovative development of Marxist political economy.

　　Keywords: Marxist political economy, socialist political economy, socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics, Xi Jinping’s economic thought
