On August 28th, the Supreme Leader gave important instructions to the inaugural meeting of China Aviation Engine Group Corporation. He pointed out: "I hope you will bear in mind your mission and responsibilities, adhere to the supremacy of national interests, adhere to the deep integration of military and civilian development, adhere to the innovation-driven strategy, boldly innovate, be determined to reform, be down-to-earth, bravely climb the peak, accelerate the independent research and development, manufacturing and production of aviation engines and gas turbines, and make unremitting efforts to build China into an aviation power."
Why is the supreme leader so concerned about this company? In fact, his concern for scientific and technological development and independent innovation is consistent.

When the Supreme Leader was young, he spent seven years in Liangjiahe, Shaanxi Province, living in caves and sleeping on heatable adobe sleeping platform. He also went to Sichuan to learn Buddhist scriptures at his own expense and returned to the village to build the first biogas digester in Shaanxi, which solved the difficulties of villagers in cooking and lighting. Later, he spent his undergraduate time in the major of basic organic synthesis in Tsinghua University Chemical Engineering Department, which can be said to be a veritable "science and technology fan".
Since the supreme leader became the general secretary, he has been very concerned about the development and innovation of science and technology. Whether in China or abroad, he often personally experiences and tries all kinds of high-tech and advanced manufacturing products, understands their principles and development, and encourages Chinese scientific and technological workers to scale new heights. Today, the micro-platform of Party Construction Network takes you to take stock of these classic moments.
Science and technology is a sharp weapon for the country, which depends on it to be strong, enterprises to win, and people’s lives to be good. China is strong, China people’s lives are better, and we must have strong science and technology.

Boarding the Snow Dragon Antarctic scientific research ship
On November 18th, 2014, the Supreme Leader who was visiting Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, went to the dock and boarded the China "Snow Dragon".

The Supreme Leader visited the photo exhibition of the 30th anniversary of China’s polar expedition on the "Snow Dragon", wishing the crew and scientific research personnel all the best and a triumphant victory.

Xue Long, the third-generation polar icebreaker and scientific research ship in China, was built by Ukrainian Hellson Shipyard on March 25th, 1993 as a Vitus Bering-class icebreaker. China was imported from Ukraine in 1993 and transformed according to the needs of China. It is the largest polar research ship in China and the only ship in China that can break the ice in the polar regions. Snow Dragon Boat is cold-resistant, and can continuously break through 1.2m thick ice layer (including 0.2m snow) at a speed of 1.5 knots.
Encourage research and development of domestic large aircraft.
On May 23rd, 2014, during the inspection tour in Shanghai, the Supreme Leader inspected the prototype cab of C919 large passenger plane in China Commercial Aircraft Design and Development Center to learn about the speedometer, altimeter, track map and other related instruments and meters.

The Supreme Leader said: "If we want to be a strong country, we must develop the equipment manufacturing industry and the large aircraft to play a leading and symbolic role."

C919 large passenger aircraft is the first trunk civil aircraft developed in accordance with the latest international airworthiness standards in China, with 158 basic mixed-stage layouts and a standard range of 4,075 kilometers, with completely independent intellectual property rights. On November 2, 2015, the first aircraft of C919 large passenger plane was officially rolled off the assembly line in Pudong base, a newly-built assembly manufacturing center of China Commercial Aircraft Corporation.

On September 23, 2015, during the Supreme Leader’s visit to the United States, he boarded a Boeing 787 plane to be delivered to Xiamen Airlines in China, and had a cordial exchange with employees in the cockpit, asking with great interest about aviation energy-saving and emission reduction measures and understanding the future aircraft design concept.

Boeing 787, also known as "Dreamliner", is the first medium-sized passenger plane with 228 seats in aviation history. First-class seats cost more than one million yuan.
Experience self-owned brand cars
On May 24th, 2014, the Supreme Leader inspected the technical center of SAIC and listened to the introduction before the Roewe 950 prototype.

The Supreme Leader emphasized that the development of new energy vehicles is the only way for China to move from a big automobile country to a strong automobile country. I heard that Roewe 950 is a mid-to-high-end self-owned brand car. He asked about the car’s displacement and price. "Let me sit down." He bent down and sat in to experience it.

Later, the Roewe 950 became the exclusive car for the distinguished guests from all countries at the 2014 APEC Leaders Summit.
Encourage technological innovation of electric vehicles.
On April 26th, 2016, when the Supreme Leader visited Hefei, he took the JAC iEV6S pure electric vehicle with great interest.

The supreme leader enjoined enterprises not only to develop products, not only to have advanced indicators, but also to pay attention to product quality, and to increase the promotion in the market to form market competitiveness. He was very happy to hear that the technical indicators of this electric car have reached the leading level of similar cars in China.

On July 17, 2015, the Supreme Leader visited Changchun City. In China CRRC Changchun Railway Passenger Car Co., Ltd., I inspected the assembly line of high-speed EMUs and boarded the assembled high-speed EMUs.

Changke Co., Ltd. is the largest R&D, manufacturing, overhaul and export base of railway passenger cars in China, and the cradle of China’s subway and EMU. The produced rail passenger car products have covered more than a dozen countries and regions around the world, and the core technology of high-speed rail independently developed ranks among the top in the world, becoming a "golden business card" made in China.
The Supreme Leader said that the high-speed train reflects the level of China’s equipment manufacturing industry, and it is also a hot commodity in the construction of "going out" and "Belt and Road", and it is a beautiful business card. It is hoped that the construction of high-speed rail will make persistent efforts, be driven by innovation, continue to lead and bravely climb the peak, so as to drive the whole equipment manufacturing industry to form a situation of catching up with learning and helping others.

On May 10, 2014, the Supreme Leader visited Henan, boarded an 85-meter-long shield machine assembly platform in the shield assembly workshop of China Railway Engineering Equipment Group Co., Ltd., walked into the main control room and asked about the operation of the shield machine.

The supreme leader pointed out that the equipment manufacturing industry is the backbone of a country’s manufacturing industry. At present, there are still many shortcomings in China’s equipment manufacturing industry. It is necessary to increase investment, strengthen research and development, accelerate development, strive to occupy the commanding heights of the world, and control the right to speak in technology, so as to make China a modern equipment manufacturing country.

Shield machine, full name of shield tunnel boring machine, is a kind of special engineering machinery for tunnel excavation, which is widely used in subway, railway, highway, municipal, hydropower and other tunnel projects. In April 2008, the shield machine "China Railway No.1" independently developed and designed by China rolled off the production line in Xinxiang, Henan Province, filling a major gap in the field of composite shield manufacturing in China. At present, in the domestic market, China Railway Shield has become the representative of China equipment, and "foreign brands" have gradually withdrawn from the China market.
