Gu has been invited to symposiums at Zhongnanhai at least three times. His experience is slightly different from the aforementioned seven brain powers for he was once actively involved in politics until 2007.

The recently concluded 5th Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee laid much emphasis on innovation. For this, Gu said innovation is the key to power economic development.
