Gansu delegate's advice on cultural development

Lian Ji, NPC member, President of the Chinese National Academy of Arts

"The central government should invest in Dunhuang, a city of Gansu province, in a strategic manner under the age of 'New Normal'. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, it should be invested mainly in city functions, infrastructure and amenities.

"All sides including the state, central government, local government, society and enterprises, should make joint efforts to build Dunhuang into a world-class town.

"When it comes to the outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan, more should be added in cultural development. Contents such as 'culture of minority groups' should be added to the list of 'traditional cultural development'; 'Translation programs' should be added to the 'communication capacity' part".
