Hu has twice been the guest to symposiums at Zhongnanhai. It has been noted that his academic views often attract attention and trigger debates.
In one of his papers published in the 1980s, he disfavored the government's rush for quick economic success and pointed out that the strategy for a lasting development should be in accordance with the Chinese national conditions.
Hu is also against the favorable policies for special administrative regions.
