Quishi, which means “Seeking Truth,” is the CCP’s official bi-monthly theoretical journal and is a deputy ministerial-level publication under the control of the Central Party School and Central Committee. Qiushi focuses on the political theory of top Party and state leadership, and its record of publishing articles that track evolutions in political thinking makes the journal an important source for early insights on future policy developments. Many of its articles are by provincial and ministerial leaders, including the highest-ranking members of the Party and state. Thus, it is a highly authoritative source in the logic, interpretation, and communication of the official CCP position on ideology and its implementation as political directives and policies.
