Chinese Premier stresses innovation-driven economic upgrading

CHANGSHA -- China needs to use innovation and intelligence as well as diligence to support its economic upgrading and job creation, Premier Li Keqiang has said.

China has abundant human resources, a huge market and deep-rooted culture, so there is much potential to develop its creative industry, Li said during an inspection tour of Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, and Zhuzhou City in Hunan on Thursday and Friday.

China should improve its products through intelligence and bolster job creation and industrial development through innovation to create a better Chinese image on the global stage, he said.

Li encouraged college students to unleash their potential through employment and running businesses, saying the government needs to create a platform for them and the whole society should encourage innovation and be tolerant of failures. EnditemEnditem
