After 40 years of reform and opening-up, China stands at a new starting point. As the international situation is increasingly complex, China must deepen reform in key areas and advance all-round opening-up to promote high-quality growth and its international competitiveness. As think tanks are playing important roles in decision-making, they must enhance their research capability and innovate their institutional management.
As 2019 marks 30th anniversary for the establishment of CDI, CDI and Shenzhen Soft Science Development Foundation held the CDI Think Tanks Forum Annual Conference to discuss China’s reform and opening-up and Chinese think tanks development and the 7th China Soft Sciences Prize Award Ceremony to promote the development of China’s soft sciences.
