BEIJING, June 11 (Xinhua) -- A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Friday inspected China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing, where he stressed thoroughly studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law and contributing more to the law-based governance in the new era.
