Technological innovation is strategic imperative

Technology is the basis of a modern nation's development and innovation the soul of its progress. In his strategic thinking, President Xi Jinping considers technological innovation essential to sustain development.

Xi has a deep strategic understanding of the contemporary world and has emphasized that "technological innovation is the strategic support to enhancing social productivity and comprehensive national strength, which must be put at the core of the nation's development as a whole".

While the most important resources for an agricultural society are labor, soil and energy, that for modern industrial and information societies is technology.
