Print Edition
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping visited the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China on Saturday, ahead of the launch of two BeiDou-3 satellites yesterday.
Xi inspected the preparation work for the launch while visiting the site’s command center and asked scientists and technicians about their research, work and lives.
The president also extended Spring Festival greetings to all officers and soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army and the armed police force, and all militia and reserve personnel.
Through a video telephone, Xi talked with grassroots soldiers stationed at an island in the Xisha area.
Xi also met the base’s senior officers and asked them to work with more commitment and be steadfast in building China’s strength in aerospace to create more “Chinese miracles.”
He stressed military training under combat conditions to build the country’s military into a world-class one and improve the country’s strength in aerospace.
Noting that technology was a core combat capability, Xi called for intensified work to make breakthroughs in core and key technologies so that China could take the initiative in international competition.
He also emphasized the loyalty of the armed forces.
