Senior official urges innovation of social sciences study

Xinhua, May 12, 2015 Adjust font size:

A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official called for social science researchers to get more creative and achieve breakthroughs in basic theory studies.

Liu Qibao, head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at a review meeting on projects of the 2015 National Social Sciences Foundation.

Research fellows of social sciences should base their studies on China's social reality, draw experience from international frontiers and sharpen their own creativity, said Liu, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

They should uphold socialist values, promoting the "Four Comprehensives", and at the same time carry on cultural traditions so as to provide constructive suggestions to enhance national development, he said.

Liu also urged for cultivation of a large group of high-end think tanks. Endi
