Prof. Justin Yifu Lin Joined CPPCC Economics Symposium

Aug 01-2023   

On July 17, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held a symposium on analyzing the economic situation in the first half of this year. Wang Huning, a Standing Committee member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chairman of CPPCC, attended the event and delivered a speech.

Prof. Justin Yifu Lin took part in the symposium and shared his thoughts on the economy. He is a member of the CPPCC Standing Committee and Deputy Director of its Economic Committee, as well as Dean of PKU Institute of New Structure Economics and Honorary Dean of the PKU National School of Development. Over ten CPPCC members and experts, including Prof. Lin, expressed the view that China’s economy in its entirety is bouncing back up and striking a positive note, with market demand steadily recovering and production and supply continuously increasing. They advised maintaining strategic focus by stabilizing growth, safeguarding people’s livelihood, and preventing risks; comprehensively optimizing business environment; expanding household consumption; revitalizing the determination for development; leveraging high-level technology to independently and confidently drive high-quality growth; and powering the Chinese economy in its continuous improvement.

In January 2023, Prof. Lin was awarded by CPPCC for his burning passion to serve the country and lofty ambition to seek truths, his contributions to theoretical innovations by rooting in China’s practices, his problem-driven orientation in researching high-quality development, and his achievement in laying out economic patterns to solidify the determination for stabilizing growth.
