What is a "China think tank"?
Think tanks are an important part of soft power. From the global trend, the status of think tanks is becoming more and more important, and the penetration of a country's political, economic and diplomatic decisions is getting deeper and deeper. In the past 30 years, China's economic and social development has been remarkable, but the development of think tanks has been neglected, which is short-legged. This international financial crisis reminds us of the importance of building think tanks. China International Economic Exchange Center (hereinafter referred to as "National Economic Exchange Center") came into being under this background. Its goal is to build a folk think tank, integrate high-level and authoritative resources, conduct forward-looking, strategic and overall research, provide intellectual support for public policies, and provide consulting services for multinational operations of enterprises. Our researchers are divided into three categories: first, the core layer. Through online recruitment, the threshold is very high, but the registration is very enthusiastic, which also shows the attraction of the national economic center; Two, this category is not compiled, including retired provincial and ministerial ministers, directors and senior researchers; Third, they are mainly social research forces, and the center requires them to complete related topics and pay a certain fee. Over the past three months, the National Economic Center has made a good start in economic research, consultation and exchange, international cooperation, information services, etc., and it has been running smoothly, and there is no slack in it. Everyone is very motivated. Hold an academic seminar on current economic hotspots once a week. In addition to conveying the essence of the central government, it also publishes special issues such as research reports, information reflections, and think tank speeches. More than a dozen research reports such as green recovery and expanding export channels have been issued, which has attracted the attention of the central government. The Global Think Tank Summit is the first large-scale external activity since the establishment of the National Economic Center, and the topic is decided by the board of directors through unanimous discussion. It aims to bring together world-renowned think tanks and Qi Xin to explore the development trend of the financial crisis and the way to restore world growth. This is also an opportunity to show the world China's new think tank.
