Between Mobilization and Empowerment:The Construction of Youth Development-oriented Cities in the Evolution of China's Youth Policy Philosophy
China's youth policy under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP)reflects the combination of empowerment and mobilization.The mass line of the CCP is the methodological basis for the establishment of this combination.Empowerment is the foundation on which young people can be mobilized,and empowering young people is conducive to better mobilization.Mobilizing youth to participate in the Party's central mission is to promote social progress,which in turn provides the basis for empowering youth.The transformation of youth mobilization orientation during the revolutionary war under the condition of the CCP's overall governance and the construction of youth development-oriented cities,respectively,reflects the opposite movement directions from mobilization to empowerment and from empowerment to mobilization.The combination of the two reflects the logic of the dialectical relationship between mobilization and empowerment in the orientation of China's youth policy.Finally,China's youth policy will realize the integration and balance of mobilization and empowerment.The construction of youth development-oriented cities has formed a relatively stable new orientation of youth policy mobilization through empowerment,which develops China's youth policy philosophy and has universal significance in the historical evolution and the contemporary formulation of youth policy orientation.The youth development-oriented cities policy also vividly reflects how the Communist Youth League elevates youth work as a part of the CCP's central work through its policy advocacy function so as to better carry it out.
