It goes without saying that China's ta-lented scientists and professionals play a significant role in the long-term economic development and social progress of the nation.

The national conference on talent, which concluded May 26, speaks volumes about the government's focus on this topic.

It would be unimaginable for a country to find its way to the scientific frontier without innovative scientists. And, neither would it be possible for a nation to sustain development without talented professionals playing their assigned roles.
