China provides example for the world

Editor's Note: The Communist Party of China concluded its 19th National Congress last week in Beijing. China Daily asked five prominent experts for their views on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which was introduced at the congress.

President Xi Jinping said China has embarked on a "new era" in its development while spelling out a two-stage development plan for the country by the mid-21st century. What do you think of that? What is happening in China that impresses you the most?

China is already making meaningful progress on some of the issues addressed by President Xi Jinping at the 19th Communist Party of China National Congress, such as in innovation. For example, I have been particularly impressed by China's advancements in quantum technology.
