We must thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches, give full play to the advantages of the new national system, and comprehensively improve basic research levels and original innovation capabilities with the perseverance and perseverance of “sharpening a sword for ten years”.

Ding Xuexiang went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Huairou National Laboratory to learn about original innovation and key core technology research progress. He pointed out that in order to build a scientific and technological power, we must carry out basic research. It is necessary to adhere to the "four orientations" strategic orientation, optimize the layout of basic research, strengthen original and disruptive innovation, and realize the mutual promotion of scientific discovery and technological invention. Ding Xuexiang inspected the high-energy synchrotron radiation light source on site and emphasized the need to strengthen the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure, improve the level of basic scientific research support, and promote accelerated breakthroughs in basic research.

High-level research universities are the main force in basic research and the main battlefield for talent training. Ding Xuexiang came to Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences for investigation. He pointed out that it is necessary to promote the integrated development of educational science and technology talents, strengthen the construction of basic disciplines and the independent cultivation of top innovative talents, and support young scientific and technological personnel to take the lead and play the leading role.
