Promoting the high-quality growth of the manufacturing industry is a major strategic task in China's economic development at present and in the future. In the four-tier structure of the global manufacturing business, China is in the third echelon, and it will take at least 30 years to achieve the goal of becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. China must deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, scientifically allocate resources, promote the deep integration of the innovation chain, industrial chain, policy chain, capital chain and talent chain in the next stage.

The integrated circuit industry is of vital importance to the country's development and hugely significant both for the present and the future. Integrated circuit science and engineering has been upgraded to a first-class discipline in universities and we hope more students will apply for the major. Integrated circuits are a long march for us researchers and on this path, science and technology workers are racing against time to further drive our chip development. I believe with the advantage of our national system, we will make major breakthroughs in semiconductor bottlenecks.

Learning the history of the Communist Party of China will help Party members to boost their strength and courage, and, on that basis, build a stronger Party as well as a better country. Revolutionary spirit is the precious wealth of the Party and the motivation for members to devote themselves to their work. As the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC draws near, it is of great importance to learn the history of the Party. As researchers of Party history, we'll continue our work in telling stories about the CPC and Chinese people.

China has a sound system for entrepreneurship, a huge market and a large amount of diligent people, which has impressed investors from all over the world. Local (provincial) governments are also starting incubators and guiding funds. As they launch incentive policies to encourage high-tech enterprises, it makes it much easier for young entrepreneurs to start their own businesses today.
