Beijing sets sights on science By ZHANG ZHIHAO | CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2021-01-26 07:31 Share CLOSE
China is emerging as an international center for education and research, with Beijing set to become one of the world s leading hubs for frontier scientific research by 2035, officials and experts said.
The capital will devote more planning and resources to cutting-edge fields including quantum information technology, artificial intelligence, health sciences and integrated circuit manufacturing, Chen Jining, mayor of Beijing, said in a government report on Saturday.
This year, the capital plans to build 6,000 more 5G stations, a trusted digital infrastructure network based on blockchain technology and new service platforms for artificial intelligence, he added.

Beijing will also step up efforts to attract quality talent from around the globe, and create international-style communities, schools and hospitals to foster a more welcoming academic and living environment for foreign talent, Chen said.

Jared Burleson was studying in Jiangsu, China, the summer after his first year at SMU, taking advantage of the study abroad benefits that come with being a President’s Scholar, SMU’s highest academic merit award. While waiting in line for tea at a local shop, he overheard two men speaking English, then recognized one of them as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Michael Kosterlitz.
Jared introduced himself and began chatting with the world-renowned scientist who was in China with another colleague to encourage international scientific collaboration.
“I had never heard of the physics community in China,” Jared says. “I was inspired by my conversation with them to continue studying Chinese and someday work with the particle physics research community in China.”

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has been operated 3,275 days since all its three experiment halls started running on Dec. 24, 2011.

Scientists will comb through nearly a decade s worth of data from an award-winning international research project in southern China to analyse an elusive subatomic particle that could be the key to understanding the origins of the universe.
The data came from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment in Shenzhen, a collaboration between China and the United States that went on to win the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2016.
