An extra-party intellectual battle must be conducted “with an important theoretical policy” it is important, however, that the department of general operations, in facilitating the role of the think tank of extra-party intellectuals, make a major effort to innovate and use the facilities provided by modern communication technologies to open flexible and diverse avenues。

In order to establish a pattern of long-term cooperation with the institutions in which it is located, be it state agencies or research institutes or enterprises, such cooperation should be regulated and become a new norm of win-win or win-win.
