China's Xi urges universities to produce quality graduates

BEIJING, May 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice President Xi
Jinping has urged universities to reform and improve themselves to turn out more
high-quality personnel for the society.

Universities are supposed to produce "qualified builders and reliable successors of socialism with Chinese
characteristics," Xi said while touring major Beijing-based universities from
Wednesday to Thursday.

Centering on the fundamental task of personnel
fostering, he said, universities should reform all concepts and mechanisms that
go against the mission, lift the overall quality of teachers, offer better
services in helping students find jobs, beef up campus stability, and provide
technical service and intellectual support for companies to weather the
financial crisis.

He also urged universities to prevent and punish
academic corruption.
