Military science and research push boundaries, so innovations should be a top priority, he said.

Military scientists should improve strategic planning and top-level design and strengthen innovation in doctrine, defense technologies and organization of research to keep the engine of military research and operations at full speed, he added.

Xi said innovation has to be practical and closely based on warfare and combat issues to create advanced military doctrine suitable for modern warfare and embodying the PLA's unique characteristics.

Xi called on scientists to consolidate and strengthen military technologies in which China has an edge while incubating strategic, advanced and groundbreaking technologies with a strong focus on realistic combat.

China must uphold the strategic basis of independent innovation, accelerate breakthroughs in key technologies and transform scientific achievements into reality to help build combat capability, he said.

Xi also called for reforms in policies and institutions related to military science in an effort to release the full innovative potential of military scientists. The military science academy should be more open and collaborative during research projects and enhance international exchanges and cooperation, he added.

Xi also emphasized that the development of military science should follow the Party's leadership. The military academy was told to strengthen the behavior and practices of research personnel, better manage research funding and actively tackle real issues through collaboration.
