On April 29, 2024, the sixth International Symposium on Government and Market Economics, jointly organized by the Chinese Institute of Economic thought and practice of Tsinghua University and the International Society of Government and Market Economics, was broadcast online. Wang Tianfu, president of the Academy of Social Sciences of Tsinghua University, attended and delivered a speech.

Wang Tianfu said that 2026 is a century of social science at Tsinghua University, with a hundred years of wind and rain, and the whole people of Tsinghua University have experienced vicissitudes. After the resumption of its establishment, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences has always adhered to the tradition and adhered to its original heart, and made important contributions to the establishment and development of Chinese social sciences, to the revival and reconstruction of social sciences of Tsinghua University, and to China's political, economic and social construction.

He said that the courses of political economy and economics have been offered since the founding of Tsinghua University, and economics is one of the 17 departments that have been established since 1926. The School of Social Sciences of Tsinghua University finally put up this brand in 2012, after the Department of Social Sciences, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and so on. "the slogan put forward by the Academy of Social Sciences is social feelings and scientific spirit, and this sense of mission and responsibility has been promoting us to move forward." He said.

In addition, since its restoration in 1984, Tsinghua Social Sciences has trained a large number of outstanding talents who serve the country's development and social progress, and has made great efforts and achieved fruitful results in academic research, social services, and international exchanges.

At the same time, Wang Tianfu said that the Tsinghua Academy of Social Sciences has held a series of special seminars in recent years to discuss in depth how to promote the construction of an independent knowledge system of disciplines and speed up the construction of the Tsinghua School of social sciences. One of the major features of social science is that it is closely linked with the changes of the times, and the era of change is also a historic opportunity to build a theoretical system and promote the development of disciplines.

Wang Tianfu pointed out: the Chinese nation is now entering a new era of great rejuvenation, and Chinese society is experiencing rapid development. On the one hand, social sciences should absorb and open up, absorb theoretical achievements from academia, and actively learn from advanced experience; on the other hand, we need to seize the opportunities given by the times, go deep into local practice, proceed from reality, and carry out research. He stressed that government and market economics are not only a very important part of China's independent knowledge system, but also a very characteristic part of China's great social practice. As an emerging research field, it is not only the compensation and improvement of the existing theories of economics, but also the most experienced and valuable new knowledge of economics.
