CPC top research institute launches official website
0 
Party Literature Research Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee launched its official website Tuesday, offering the public a window into the Party's top research institute.
The office, established in 1980, compiles and publishes works and manuscripts of key Chinese leaders. Its tasks also include studying the Party's history and its important historical documents.
The launching of the website caught the attention of many Chinese media and scholars. By 10:00 p.m., the website wxyjs.org.cn had attracted more than 5,000 visits.
"As the Party's top research unit, the office has remained mysterious and out of reach to the public. The website will surely help close the distance," said Prof. Dai Yanjun with Party School of the CPC Central Committee.
The authoritative information provided by the website could also help clarify some ambiguous concepts or ideas about the Party's history, he said.
Other scholars said they saw the website, which releases information of seminars, the office's publications and latest research developments, as a good academic platform.
"Studies on Party history have become increasingly popular. The website offers an easy access for scholars to follow the latest academic development," said Sun Yan, associate professor on Party history of the Peking University.
"It also offers an easy access to the public, especially the young, to party theories and historical documents," Sun said.
The website has uploaded more than 60 pieces of dissertations written by the office's researchers with topics ranging from the policies of Tibetan works adopted by the first generation of Chinese leaders to Jiang Zemin's thoughts on economic globalization.
China has the world's largest Internet population. Nearly half of its 400 million netizens are youth.
