China's President Says Space Program A Technological Victory
Beijing, China (SPX) Nov 26, 2005 China's achievement in manned spaceflight engineering has reached advanced world standards, Chinese President Hu Jintao said Saturday. The Chinese president made the remarks Saturday at a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to mark the great success of the Shenzhou VI mission. President Hu Jintao called the mission of Shenzhou-VI a "song of triumph" in the course of the Chinese nation's revitalization. It was another big contribution made by the Chinese people to humankind's peaceful use of outer space, Hu Jintao claimed. He said all Chinese felt "great pride and honor" from the achievement. The president said the fact that China had realized the great jump from a one-person, one-day space flight to a multi-person, multi-day space mission within two years has marked a new landmark victory in China's manned space technology. He claimed the progress fully demonstrates the great role of science and technology as "the first productive force." He said such a strategic conception should be maintained. President Hu Jintao said full play should be given to the key role of science and technology in pushing forward China's economic and social development. He said the efforts to raise the innovative capabilities of enterprises and institutions should always be placed high on the agenda, urging improvements in scientific management and fostering high-quality technology teams. He said China has already formed a set of scientific management theories and practices that have been further validated with the actual conditions and China's manned spaceflight undertakings. President Hu Jintao urged the Chinese nation to learn from aerospace workers. Aerospace workers have cultivated a spirit of "being especially capable of bearing hardships, fighting, tackling key problems and making contributions" since China's manned space flight program was initiated 13 years ago, he said. Hu Jintao praised the workers for their love of the motherland, sense of teamwork and quality of not seeking fame and wealth. The spirit should be carried forward when we are endeavoring to build a well-off society and pressing ahead with socialist modernization, he said. The president also expressed his heartfelt thanks for the friendly international communities that showed care for China's efforts in space development. In the name of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) Central Committee, State Council and Central Military Commission, Hu Jintao expressed high praise for people throughout the country, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots, as well as overseas Chinese, for their strong support and care for China's space development efforts.
