Xi calls for strong sci-tech nation by 2035
Academicians: Role models for science encouraged
Xi summarized China's key achievements in sci-tech development since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in November 2012, before putting forward key experiences drawn from development practices during the period.
Going forward, Xi reiterated the need to maximize the decisive role of the market in allocating sci-tech resources while enhancing government functions, and to boost enthusiasm across industry, academia and research.
He called for steps to drive the integration of technological and industrial innovation to boost the development of new quality productive forces, saying that the supply of high-quality technological products must be increased, with a focus on key areas and weak links in the construction of a modern industrial system.
