Breakthroughs will be key driver of China's economic growth, experts say

The ongoing two sessions and this year's Government Work Report highlighted China's breakthroughs in core and frontier technologies, which will be a key driver of the nation's continuing quality economic growth, experts said.

Mehmood Ul Hassan Khan, executive director of the Islamabad-based Center for South Asia and International Studies, called the report delivered by Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the opening meeting of the third session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing last week, a "good omen".

The report "vividly reflected its strategic priorities, mainly innovation, modernization, qualitative industrialization, and scientific intensification for breakthroughs in core tech in key fields", Khan said.
