Think tank to offer suggestions to CPPCC

A high-level think tank will examine issues in six social and economic fields in the coming year, including using big data to support industrial transformation, technology transfers to commercial products and issues of aging, to provide high-quality advice to the country's leaders, a senior political adviser said on Thursday.

The China Economic and Social Council, a think tank under the leadership of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, set the course for the coming year at its annual meeting in Beijing on Thursday.

The council has about 200 members who are experts in social and economic fields.
