Dr. Zhu Shuicheng addressed a speech
Carrying out people's suggestion collection is a concrete action for Shanghai to deeply practice the important concept of people's city, which is an important initiative to deepen the whole process of people's democracy. The Business School of USST has actively cooperated with Shanghai and Yangpu District’s Office of People's Suggestion Collection. In September 2021, the two sides have carried out various forms of political-school cooperation on people's suggestion collection, after the negotiation between Prof. Zhao Laijun, Dean of Business School, and Director Meng Tao on the bilateral cooperation agreement. The work of promoting people's suggestion collection into colleges and universities and into classrooms has obtained its primary achievement.
In the next step, teachers and students of Business School as well as Department of Public Administration will further conscientiously implement the key speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s inspection of Shanghai, and form a habit of making suggestions, finding shortcomings and promoting improvement. They will devote themselves to make a good social survey, listen to the opinions of the masses, and continue to do a good job of urban development with a heart. On this basis, they will seriously write grounded people's suggestions, so as to put forward more "golden ideas" and help make a better city.
