The China Initiative aims at helping advance health and social development in China by carrying out applied research studies, regular policy dialogues with China's top public policy makers (2 China Social Development Forums were successfully held at the Central Party School in 2007 and at Harvard in 2009) and senior health executive education classes (more than 300 senior government officials from MOH, MOF, MOLSS, SFDA and directors of provincial/city health bureaus as well as major hospital CEOs have graduated from this program since 2006). Professor Liu has been teaching and conducting research in the areas of health financing and health system analysis since 1994 at Harvard.

Having closely involved in China's series of healthcare reform initiatives since 1993, Professor Liu has established a solid track record in areas of health policy analysis, health system reform and development strategies, and public-private partnerships in system and technology innovations. He is frequently invited to give keynote speeches at national and international conferences on healthcare reform issues, and he is a well respected policy advisor by serving on the Expert Committee of Health Policy and Management and the Expert Committee on Healthy China 2020, both of which are established by the Chinese Ministry of Health to help inform the policy-making process for China's healthcare reforms and development. Professor Liu also served on the United Nations Millennium Development Taskforce on HIV/AIDS, Malaria, TB, and Access to Basic Medicines (2003-2005).
