Scientists called to serve

President Xi Jinping stressed the importance on Wednesday of a patriotic spirit among the scientists of China.

During a visit to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi said while science has no national bounds, scientists each have their own motherland.

Xi urged scientists to keep in mind the need to serve their homeland and to benefit the people, to apply their scientific research results to the modernization of the country, and to combine their own ambitions with the Chinese dream - the rejuvenation of the country.
