China Development Institute (CDI) is the fruit of China’s Reform and Open-door Policy. It would be an innovative course to operate such a newly-style research and consulting organization. A group of economists, business leaders and social activists, with Ma Hong, Li Hao, Chen Jinhua, Jiang Yiwei, Gao Shangquan and Lin Ling as the representatives have made great contributions to the initiation and development of CDI.

With 20 years’ development, CDI has cultivated an efficient research team with fruitful research achievements. CDI is now standing at a jumping-off point for a brighter future. There are five objectives for CDI to achieve: to cultivate the talents, to upgrade research level, to enlarge social influence, to expand cooperation, and to set up brand reputation. 

As a think tank, CDI should always keep its eye on the strategic issues in China’s reform and opening-up by presenting policy recommendations, problem solutions, and consulting reports to make more active contributions to a harmonious society.
