I'm very impressed with President Xi repeatedly talking about "innovation". Innovation is not only the key driving force of China's new normal economy, but also the source of new world economic growth.

As what Xi said, the internet-centered, new scientific and technological industrial revolution is on the way; new technologies will change people's lives dramatically; and emerging industries and technological innovation will revitalize the world economy. Governments and enterprises in all countries should deeply cooperate with each other in the platforms, resources, talents and policies and join hands to push forward innovative development.

Scientific and technological innovation is the enterprise gene of Baidu. Baidu has invested for years in avant-garde technological fields, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning and big data, among others. We will make more explorations in some subversive technological fields, such as driverless vehicles.
