[Explanation] On January 22, the first national member representative conference of the European and American Student Association (Chinese Scholars Association) closed in Beijing.
During the two-day meeting, the participating members shared their thoughts and experiences in group discussions and actively offered suggestions and suggestions.
Many members believe that standing at an important historical node, the European and American Alumni Association can play a role as a bridge, give full play to the advantages of overseas students, and help the country's scientific and technological innovation.
[Explanation] Zhan Qimin, executive vice president of Peking University and director of the medical department, pointed out that the important role of Chinese students in the development of the country has been highly recognized, which is gratifying.
In the new era, the European and American Alumni Association can further gather the strength of overseas students and take the initiative.
[Commentary] In connection with his own work, he said that the new crown pneumonia epidemic has made people realize that health is not only related to people's livelihood and welfare, but also affects national security and social stability.
At present, China still has a long way to go in the field of medical technology, and it must be self-reliant and build its own medical technology innovation system.

Therefore, the central government requires self-reliance and self-reliance. This is a task for the European and American Alumni Association to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and to establish its own medical technology innovation system.
[Explanation] Yao Wang, the former chairman of the Beijing Council for the Promotion of International Trade, pointed out that this conference has a high-minded vision, standing on the historical height of national rejuvenation, placing scientific and technological innovation in an important position and emphasizing high-quality economic development.
This is precisely the area where the European and American Alumni Association can play a role.
[Explanation] Huang Wei, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, said that China currently lacks "zero to one" original innovations, so that it is easy to be "stucked" in the technical field.
The work of scientific and technological innovation must be planned ahead of time, stay focused, and even more aware of its long-term and arduous nature.
As the country attaches great importance to talents, the advantages of the European and American Alumni Association's extensive contact with international student groups will be further demonstrated.
[Concurrent] Huang Wei, Vice Minister of Ministry of Science and Technology of China
We have become a strong country, not GDP, we are still competing for scientific and technological strength, so we still have to solve scientific and technological problems and maintain concentration.
[Explanation] Yan Changming, the vice president of the Canadian branch of the European and American Alumni Association, believes that as an important international talent, "returnees" can give full play to their advantages, play a role in civil diplomacy, and put themselves in history as the international situation changes. In the changing situation, it is a question that should be considered.
As the organization system of the European and American alumni associations becomes more complete and the work standardization is strengthened, it will better help the "returnees" to exert their international advantages, especially in the field of science and technology.
