The courseware of Associate Professor Cui Shaozhongs "History of Economic Thought (English-taught)" incorporates the latest theoretical achievements of the Sinicization of Marxism—the methodological essence of Xi Jinpings Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and its economic thought—integrating ideological and political education with professional knowledge organically. It systematically consolidates the diversity of economic thought and the analytical thinking of different economic schools.

These lectures were tailored to the course content, actively supporting the Party and states diplomatic strategies. By applying theoretical knowledge to practice, the lectures played a positive role in promoting Chinas pandemic response policies and enhancing its international image.
Dr. Cui Yuejuns "Political Economy" courseware is primarily developed based on "Das Kapital" and "Introduction to Marxist Political Economy" (Marxist Project textbooks). The courseware is structured into five key sections: the relationship between politics and economics, labor value theory, surplus value theory, capitalist operation theory, and historical trends of capitalist development. In terms of presentation, it combines mind mapping and color-based teaching methods, featuring dynamic color transitions, animated demonstrations, and systematic theoretical frameworks. Since its implementation in 2019, the courseware has undergone multiple revisions and improvements, available in Chinese, English, and bilingual versions. It incorporates rich multimedia content including animations and edited videos, along with chapter-specific knowledge networks and mind maps, receiving positive feedback in actual teaching. Dr. Cuis student-centered approach, clear teaching logic, and approachable language, combined with effective blended learning that integrates online and offline instruction, have earned widespread acclaim from students.
In addition to "Political Economy", Professor Cui Yuejun also teaches undergraduate courses such as "Socialist Political Economy" and "China Economics (English-taught)", as well as graduate courses like "Reading Capital". In March 2022, the course "Political Economy" was selected as a Beijing Model Course for Ideological and Political Education.
