Xi's remarks on the key role of science and technology

Grasp opportunities in historic convergence period 

"Now, in a period where the global technological and industrial revolution converges with the transformation in China's development mode, we face both historic opportunities and also the daunting challenges of preventing the gap from widening.

We must be clearly aware that we may grasp opportunities in a historic convergence period, but we can also miss it."
