Design/methodology/approach: The innovations and breakthroughs thereof have led to the political economy of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Findings: The success of China's economy highlights the superiority of the socialist economic system and development path with Chinese characteristics. Originality/value: These major breakthroughs are accompanied by breakthroughs in relevant theories, which constitute a synthesis of a series of major theoretical innovations in political economics.
