Govt effort needed to promote culture

CPPCC member says private institutions can support initiatives

China's political advisers have called for a well-coordinated system that would feature government taking the lead in promoting Chinese culture around the world, with private institutions playing a supportive role.

"Effective cultural exchange and cultural promotion across the world greatly help a nation be more influential and respectable on the global stage. To further spread Chinese culture, it is of great importance for government and private institutions to work together," said Jin Li, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice-president of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
