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.' 🌏✨
