President Xi Jinping has doubled down on science and tech innovation as China's roadmap to modernization, calling it the 'engine' for high-quality development. Speaking at a major conference in Beijing, the leader emphasized breakthroughs in cutting-edge research and strategic tech fields – think AI, quantum computing, and green energy.
In a star-studded moment, Xi honored two science rockstars: Li Deren (a geospatial wizard from Wuhan University) and Xue Qikun (Tsinghua University’s quantum materials maestro). Both received China’s top sci-tech awards – the equivalent of an Oscar for lab coats.
'Historic progress' was the buzzphrase as Xi highlighted upgraded research infrastructure and growing global partnerships. For young entrepreneurs eyeing Asia’s markets? This signals more opportunities in tech-driven sectors like renewable energy and smart manufacturing.
With over 1,200 researchers and policymakers attending, the event reinforces China’s push to become a global innovation hub. As Xi put it: 'Science isn’t just about test tubes – it’s about shaping tomorrow.'
