      Zhongguancun Forum pools punditry for multi-pronged frontline innovation

      2024-04-26 19:00 Last Updated At:19:17

      The Zhongguancun Forum, which kicked off in Beijing on Thursday,  has pooled insightful punditry for multi-pronged frontline sci-tech innovation, echoing its theme of "Innovating for a Better World".

      The forum is designated to be a platform for pooling wisdom and sparking ideas with fortified alignment and esteemed guests and speakers, including government officials, industry leaders and renowned academics, shared their insightful visions about the future of technology and entrepreneurship at the opening ceremony.

      Many attendees believe that the rapid development and application of artificial intelligence technology are further accelerating technological innovation across various fields.

      According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, China's annual research and development expenditure exceeded 3.3 trillion yuan (about 515.625 billion U.S. dollars) in 2023, marking a year-on-year growth of 8.1 percent.

      "Over the past century, the methods, inventions, and research achievements of structural biology have propelled our understanding of life to unprecedented heights. Nowadays, leveraging AI to empower and utilizing vast structural databases for drug design is no longer empty talk," said Yan Ning, an academician from Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

      "New technology opens new possibilities for different kinds of science. It's really not many countries that contribute to innovation these days. The Chinese people are more likely to embrace technology and just figure out how to use it," said Piero Scaruffi, founder of Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (SVAIRI).

      Spanning five days from Thursday to Monday, this year's forum will host nearly 120 activities.

      The forum will focus on artificial intelligence, life sciences, new materials, carbon peak, carbon neutrality, medical health, clean energy and other fields, and build a trading and sharing platform for more than 3,000 scientific and technological achievements from more than 40 countries and regions.

      China's railway is expected to handle 13.2 million passengers nationwide on Thursday, the 10th of this year's 40-day Spring Festival travel rush, as the railway passenger traffic has been running at a high level for several days.

      The railway transported 13.32 million passengers on Wednesday, the ninth day of the travel rush.

      By 20:00 Wednesday, the country's railway ticketing platform 12306 had sold a total of 271 million tickets for the Spring Festival travel period which runs from Jan 14 to Feb 22.

      To ensure smooth travel during the Spring Festival, local railway departments are adding trains to meet the surging demand.

      China Railway Xi'an Bureau Group in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, is expected to handle 455,000 passengers on Thursday, with the local railway authorities planning to add 98 extra trains, including 12 overnight high-speed trains to the metropolises of Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

      China Railway Nanning Bureau Group in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is set to run 690 passenger trains on Thursday, including an additional of 101 bullet trains.

      Qingdao railway station in east China's Shandong Province will operate passenger trains to Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for the first time.

      The Spring Festival travel rush, known as Chunyun, is the largest annual human migration in the world as tens of millions of Chinese people return to their hometowns to celebrate the Lunar New Year with their families.

      The Spring Festival falls on Jan 29 this year, ushering in the Year of the Snake.
