Liu Yanhua, Counselor of the State Council, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, member of the Party Group, and member of the Fifth Committee of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, said in a speech, "In the future, we will play an important and significant role in the important aspect of innovative ecological construction. I also believe that you overseas returnees will play an important and significant role in the new situation and the significant reform of technological quality
Wang Pijun, the Chairman of the China Scholarship and Talent Development Foundation, proposed three suggestions in his speech. Firstly, in the face of new domestic and international situations, contemporary overseas students should transform the new challenges of striving for a new journey into new opportunities for contributing to the new era. The opportunities of the times and the world are opportunities for China, as well as opportunities for contemporary overseas students to excel in their lives. Identify the integration point between professional advantages and social development, identify the integration point between advanced knowledge and China's actual situation, and truly enable innovation and creation to take root and bear fruit. The second is to grasp the grand practice of Chinese path to modernization. Contemporary overseas students should carry forward the spirit of studying abroad to serve the country and write a wonderful chapter in the new era. "Chinese path to modernization" has become the new requirement and new path for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation set by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China for the whole party and the people of the country. The five characteristics of "Chinese path to modernization" and more characteristics that will continue to be displayed with the modernization practice, each of which provides a big and good stage for overseas students at home and abroad to vigorously promote the spirit of studying abroad and serving the country in contemporary China. The third is to seize the opportunity of the 110th anniversary of the founding of the China Association, and contemporary international students should bravely become innovative pioneers in assuming the responsibilities and missions of "talent pool", "think tank", and "new force". In recent years, European and American student associations have pioneered the creation of multiple brand carriers such as "talent pools," "think tanks," and "new forces," building diverse platforms to leverage the role of overseas students and have had a wide and profound impact. The China Foundation for the Development of Overseas Chinese Talents has made active explorations in assisting overseas Chinese students in innovation, entrepreneurship, and creation, focusing on the center and serving the overall situation. It will further strengthen existing brands, create new carriers, and more effectively assist overseas Chinese students in innovation, entrepreneurship, and creation.
