BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhuanet) — A senior Chinese leader Monday urged the country’s Marxism researchers to enhance research on the application of Marxist theory in China and put forward sound theories for China’s development.

“Results of the research should be able to enhance the appeal and influence of Marxism,” said Li Changchun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee at a work conference on Marxism Theory Research and Construction Project held here.

Li called the project, which has been in implementation for a year, a major theoretical innovation project and an important component of the drive to build China into an innovation-oriented country.
