Zhao has directed more than 20 projects sponsored by National Social Science Fund and Beijing Social Science Fund, published more than 10 articles in Journal of Chinese Communist Party History Studies, Studies on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Guangming Daily, and co-authored The Communist Party of China and Contemporary China (2014).
In 1921， at the do-or-die point of the Chinese nation， the Communist Party of China （CPC） was established. The founding of CPC marks a new development stage of Chinese revolution and presents a reliable organizer and leader for the Chinese people. Just as Mao Zedong pointed out in On Coalition Government， 'The experience of three revolutions， especially the experience of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression， give us and Chinese people such confidence： without the efforts of the Party， without the Party as the mainstay of Chinese people， it is impossible to realize the independence and liberation of China nor the industrialization and agricultural development of the country.'
