After hearing the report, Fei Zhirong praised the high efficiency with which GIIT has built up a team of talents, optimized the regulation, assigned responsibility, confirmed the direction, built institutes and commercialized some products in less than a year, striding forward on a way of industrial technology with Guangxi Characteristics. Those are very hard-earned achievements that should be recognized. Fei also pointed out that 2021, as the first year of the 14th Five-year Plan, is also a year to turn a new chapter for building a modernized socialist country and to work on structuring a new development paradigm. GIIT should implement the important speech by President Xi Jinping at ceremony marking the centenary of the CPC and the speech, as well as guideline made by Xi when inspecting Guangxi, and at the same time, take on the assignment from the Provincial Party Committee and Government; that means to precisely take the opportunity in the new phase, implement new development mindset, integrate into new development paradigm.

We will focus on the commercialization of technological findings, key fields of industry and economy development to shape new points of growth, upgrade self-dependent innovation, acquire core technology as soon as possible and keep developing new technology, new products and new material to realize the self-sufficiency.
Fei also emphasized the fact that GIIT has been regarded as an important means for supporting quality development with innovation and an important part of innovation system in Guangxi by the Provincial Party Committee and Government. The sense of responsibility and urgency shall be strengthened for better implementation of innovation-driven development. Advanced experience from more developed provinces and regions shall be studied so as to construct a new ecology for industrial technology development with a Guangxi characteristic, forming a regime with is efficient, quality and fruitful, accelerating technology and innovation development and reinforcing new advantages in competition. More efforts will be put into research and development of key technology. By combining innovation with the quality and efficiency upgrade of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, we can optimize the support and contribution of innovation to the development of industry and create new momentum by technology and innovation, hence better serve the improvement of industrial entities for them to enter the middle and high-end markets. We shall not forget our original aspiration, focus on the innovation needs of businesses and the market, tackle key stages of industry development and solve the problem of limits on sensitive technologies. Exploration and experiments shall be encouraged to discover technical break-throughs and new system for further economic development, lightening our scientists’ burden and create an atmosphere for them to focus on their work. A bonus system for innovation shall be built so that scientists can be more specialized and wealthier. We shall be firmly determined and united, proactively take on duties and be practically in completing them. Our objective is clear and what we need to do is to put more effort in contributing to making Guangxi thrive through technology and vitalization through industry, and to make a difference in building an innovative Guangxi with high-quality industry.
