Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks on a visit to China University of Political Science and Law ahead of Youth Day on May 4.

 

Fully¹ implementing² the rule of law is essential and an important measure in adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, said Xi, while talking with senior law professors and students.

 

Implementation³ of the rule of law is impossible without a high-quality legal work force, said Xi.

"We should have confidence in developing our own legal disciplines and contribute to global rule of law with Chinese wisdom and practice," Xi said.

 

China should take successful legal practices worldwide as reference, but not simply copy them, he said.

 

Xi also called for more exchange between scholars and legal professionals.

 

In cultivating legal talent, Xi highlighted training of students' virtue⁵ in addition to teaching legal knowledge. 

 

He also told the country's officials at all levels to take the lead in studying and observing the law and promoting the respect of virtue and law among society.
