"The president has definitely targeted the key topic of how to advance science and technology in China and how to use it to help the Chinese economy, the people, the whole country move forward. It's interesting that someone who is president of such a large country can actually find the time to come to a meeting of engineers and scientists.
That's very important. It doesn't happen very often in any country, so it's a huge plus point for China."
