Nation will set its own course

The Communist Party of China will continue to follow its own path of reform and development, instead of copying models from other countries, a senior Party think tank said on Wednesday.

Chen Yangyong, director of the first compilation and research department under the Party Literature Research Office of the CPC Central Committee, said the Party will uphold China's path - a tailored way of economic development and institutional reform that fits China best - rather than blindly copying development methods from other countries that may not suit local conditions.

The office is the research institute of the CPC Central Committee. It does research on historical and contemporary documents of the Party, the State and the military force, and explores the life stories of the leaders as well as compiling their writings.
