Technology development in China has been taking a quantum leap in recent years. Some of the major Chinese technology enterprises are very successful and are in the international spotlight. “Technology development is a sharp weapon of a nation, upon which our country and enterprises can grow from strength to strength, and people’s livelihood can get better,” said President Xi Jinping in his speech delivered at the National Science and Technology Innovation Conference, the 18th General Assembly of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 13th General Assembly of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the 9th National Congress of the China Association for Science and Technology. With visionary plans as well as effective policies and initiatives, the Ministry of Science and Technology has invested heavily in nurturing technology talents and achieved remarkable results in innovation and technology.
