Think tanks submit their development suggestions

From January to March this year, think tanks across the country were asked for suggestions on national policies related to their field of research ahead of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

"Government departments asked for opinions from experts in certain fields, and they conducted research before drafting reports for the committee," said Hu Angang, president of the Institute for Contemporary China Studies at Tsinghua University.

Hu and his team of more than 30 researchers and graduate students have submitted seven reports to different government departments. This time, the institute focused on how to establish an all-around affluent society, which is a key goal for the government.
