Xi's inspection trips show key points of China's high-quality development

SCI-TECH INNOVATION

According to Xi, the key to Chinese modernization is the modernization of science and technology.

Xi has frequented prominent players in the field of sci-tech innovation on his inspection trips.

In April, Xi visited GAC Aion New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., a new energy vehicle producer in south China's Guangdong Province. The province is regarded as China's high-tech hub and hosts tech giants such as Huawei and Tencent.

Xi emphasized that core technologies in key fields should be based on independent research and development, and also demanded further support for small and medium-sized enterprises in their innovation endeavors.

During his inspection tour of north China's Hebei Province in May, Xi encouraged sci-tech researchers at an electronics technology research institute to achieve continuous progress in making cutting-edge technology breakthroughs.

During a visit to the Purple Mountain Laboratories' comprehensive 6G lab in east China's Jiangsu Province in July, Xi called for pursuing innovation in a down-to-earth manner to bolster China's self-reliance and strength in high-level sci-tech advancements.
