President Xi Jinping has called for the accelerated development of a Chinese intellectual system within the realms of philosophy and social sciences, emphasizing its critical role in the nation's ongoing progress. As the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, President Xi provided these directions to promote high-quality development in these academic fields.
Reflecting on the journey since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, President Xi noted that China's philosophy and social sciences community has made significant strides. These advancements include steady progress in knowledge innovation, theoretical breakthroughs, and the refinement of research methods, resulting in a variety of valuable academic outcomes.
Central to this vision is the need for deeper, systematic research and interpretation of the Party's new theories. By strengthening the academic foundation, President Xi aims to create a system capable of providing robust answers to the pressing questions posed by the people, the world, and the evolving needs of the times.
Ultimately, this intellectual acceleration is seen as a vital contribution to the broader goal of advancing Chinese modernization, providing the necessary wisdom and theoretical strength to navigate the complexities of the modern era.
