Preface
Since 2013， CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized on a number of occasions - for example at the National Conference on the Work of Ideological Publicity and the Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs - that the country needs to do a better job of telLing China's stories and making China's voice heard. In November 2013 and November 2015, the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy and the 21st Century Council， an internationally renowned think tank， worked together to hold two successful international "Understanding China" conferences. General Secretary Xi Jinping welcomed these conferences and expressed the view that they will serve to "build a bridge and platform of communication." On this basis， the China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy devised a plan to compile and publish a series of books under the title of "Understanding China，" allowing experts and academics to tell more of China's stories. The volume on science and technology in this series intends to tell the story of China's achievements in science and technology under the title China7 Creations and Progress in Science and Technology.
