CCTV and Xinhua (May 28) reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping presided over the 39th
"collective study" session of the CCP CC Politburo on May 27 in Beijing. The Politburo
meeting discussed the deepening of the project of exploring the source of Chinese civilization.
Xinhua said Xi Jinping delivered an important speech in which emphasised that "the Chinese
civilization has a long history and is extensive and profound. It is the unique spiritual symbol
of the Chinese nation, the foundation of contemporary Chinese culture, the spiritual bond that
maintains the Chinese around the world, and the treasure of Chinese cultural innovation". He
reiterated the need "to have an in-depth understanding of the development history of Chinese
civilization for more than 5,000 years". In his "important speech", Xi Jinping said, "the research
results of major projects such as the Chinese Civilization Origin Project have demonstrated
China's million-year human history, 10,000 years of cultural history, and more than 5,000 years
of civilization history"! Wang Wei, Director and Researcher of the History Department of the
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explained this issue and made some suggestions to the
Politburo. Comrades from the Political Bureau of the Central Committee listened carefully to
the explanation and held discussions.
