"Thought first" is a century-old experience of the Chinese Communist Party over the past century, and the core essence of the historical resolution of the Party as well.

Analyzing examples of institutional innovations such as the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Party, the system of regional ethnic autonomy, the socialist market economic system, he concluded that the future society must answer the fundamental proposition of putting power in a cage, which has the meaning of a master switch, and realize the modernization of governance capabilities and governance systems.
