Summary
Cai Qi told invited frontier researchers to contribute directly to Communist Party governance as China enters the first year of its 15th five-year plan.
Xinhua said the group included specialists in basic research, strategic and cutting-edge technologies, core technologies in key fields, plus academics in philosophy and the social sciences.
Cai, the party's No. 5 leader and director of its General Office, framed talent as strategically important to governance and pressed attendees to deliver breakthroughs in their fields.
The appeal links elite scientific and academic work more tightly to Beijing's goal of making decisive progress toward "basically realising socialist modernisation."
