BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) -- President Xi Jinping on Monday stressed that the direction of China's science and technology development is "innovation, innovation and innovation."
Xi made the
remarks at the biennial conference of the country's two top think tanks, the
Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE).
Monday's
conference was attended by more than 1,300 academicians from the two
institutions, which advise the government and industries on key scientific and
technological issues.
Li Keqiang,
Liu Yunshan, and Zhang Gaoli, all members of the Standing Committee of the
Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, attended
the conference.
"We
should follow the strategy of innovation as an impetus for development.
Independent innovation should be the essence of this strategy and the most
urgent thing to do is to eliminate the system and mechanism obstacles so as to
free up the huge potentials of science and technology as the primary force of
productivity," Xi said.
The
president called for a national system for innovation to ensure "the
abundant flow of the creative fountain," urging reform in the planning of
national innovation strategy and the distribution of science and technology
resources.
According
to the president, the relationship between government and market should push
forward the fusion of science and economy, so that science and technology
strength can be transformed into industrial and economic power.
Xi called
on academicians to "unswervingly pursue an independent innovation path
with Chinese characteristics ... and speed up the building of China into an
innovative country."
Scientists
were asked to have a "global perspective" and accurately grasp
strategic opportunities in key areas of scientific and technological
development.
The
president asked scientists to "strive to make important breakthroughs in
key technologies, and master crucial technologies into our own hands."
While
calling for further reform of China's scientific and technological system, Xi
vowed to eradicate ideological and systematic obstacles.
He also
stressed the need to pool resources and make concerted efforts when seeking new
scientific and technological breakthroughs.
The
cultivation of talents, Xi said, should be placed first when it comes to the
pursuit of scientific and technological innovation.
Xi vowed to
reform mechanisms of training, attracting and employing talents and the
training of more world-class scientists.
Academicians
were also asked to be patriotic, dedicate to their career, set examples to
others, and enforce strict self-discipline.
