The China Institute for Reform and Development (CIRD) unveiled two new books in November as part of the China Reform Think Tank Series. These publications delve into the institute's journey of reform advocacy and commitment to policy research.

In Stand Fast to Reform: My 33 Years with CIRD, professor Chi Fulin, president of CIRD, recounts the institute's 33-year history through narratives, emphasizing themes such as perseverance and dedication to reform.

"Over the course of 33 years, I have witnessed Chi Fulin and the CIRD's unwavering commitment to the cause of national reform and opening-up," commented Wei Liqun, former Party secretary of the National Academy of Governance.

"This book extensively reflects the ideals, goals, pursuits and responsibilities toward China's reform and opening-up endeavors. It serves as both a historical account of tireless recommendations for national reform and an exploration of the evolution of China's think tank development, embodying a narrative of steadfast dedication to and implementation of reform ideals. Its publication is timely and of significant importance," he added.

Advising on Reform: Reform Think Tank's 33 Years of Pursuit and Exploration focuses on CIRD's theoretical research and policy recommendations concerning China's reform and opening-up. With chapters centered on people-oriented reform concepts, socialist market economy reforms and the promotion of openness to drive reform, the book offers insights for understanding the necessity of further comprehensive reforms and the advancement of Chinese-style modernization.
