He stressed that law schools and universities are the main front for legal education, while procuratorial organs are a vital force in advancing the rule of law.
It was essential to faithfully implement the Guidelines on Strengthening Legal Education and Legal Theory Research in the New Era, jointly issued by the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, China’s cabinet, he noted.
Ying called for joint efforts to promote the integration and mutual enhancement of legal education and the practice of the rule of law, improve the practice-oriented legal talent cultivation mechanism, and strive to cultivate more high-quality legal professionals and produce more high-level, high-quality and high-standard legal research outcomes.
Ying fully affirmed CUPL's efforts in developing the discipline of procuratorial studies, noting that it offers 10 core courses in the field of procuratorial studies and has initiated the compilation of a series of textbooks on Chinese procuratorial studies.
He highlighted the fact that Chinese procuratorial studies are an important component of the philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics.
Efforts should be made to build an independent knowledge system of Chinese procuratorial studies through collaboration, promote discipline construction, and continuously develop and improve the socialist procuratorial system with Chinese characteristics, he said.
Ying also engaged in in-depth exchanges with representatives of the faculty and students.

He pointed out that throughout the process of revolution, construction and reforms, the Party has always attached great importance to establishing and improving China's procuratorial system, explicitly designating procuratorial organs as national legal supervision organs.
This was not only a feature of China's procuratorial system but also an important characteristic of the socialist judicial system and even the political system with Chinese characteristics, he said.
Ying underscored the need to profoundly understand the historical inevitability, inherent rationality and significant advantages of the socialist procuratorial system with Chinese characteristics, firmly follow the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, and maintain confidence in the socialist judicial and procuratorial systems.
He emphasized that procuratorial organs must handle every case with high quality and efficiency, ensure substantive fairness and justice, enabling procedural fairness and justice to be realized in a better and faster manner, and achieving a tangible sense of fairness and justice among the public.
Only by unifying the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of procuratorial case handling with fairness and justice can the people truly feel that fairness and justice are within reach and right before their eyes, he added.

At the conclusion of the exchange session, Ying meticulously answered questions raised by the young faculty and student representatives.
This encouraged them to firm up their ideals and convictions, set high aspirations, cultivate a profound love for the country and shoulder the mission of the times, contributing their youthful energy to comprehensively advancing the rule of law and building a socialist country with a higher level of the rule of law.
