Liu He said that for China, scientific and technological innovation is not only a development issue, but also a survival issue. The current external environment has undergone profound changes, and the domestic economic and social development has entered a new stage. Building a green and low-carbon society will also lead to profound changes. It is necessary to understand and grasp the development position of China from a long historical cycle. To achieve self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, we must adhere to the overall leadership of the Party, adhere to the innovation path in line with national conditions, adhere to strengthening basic research, adhere to talent priority, adhere to management innovation, and adhere to international cooperation.

We should create a good ecosystem of scientific and technological innovation and truly release the energy of scientific and technological development. Government departments should be good "logistics ministers". We should unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, pay close attention to the implementation, do something, and greet the centennial of the founding of the Party with outstanding achievements!
