  In December 2017, during an inspection in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, the general secretary told the company that "many core technologies cannot be obtained or bought" and "you must have confidence, patience, and determination to focus on independent innovation."

On February 7 this year, at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary pointed out, "Why should we emphasize the party's leadership in Chinese-style modernization? This is because the party's leadership is directly related to The fundamental direction, future, destiny, and ultimate success or failure of Chinese-style modernization."
