Chen said that on April 19, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, visited Tsinghua and delivered an important speech, which pointed out the direction for the future development of the university. We must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, study the speech made by the General Secretary, and stick to the goal of building a world-class university with Chinese characteristics.
