He paints a picture of a nation accelerating innovation, fueled by targeted policy initiatives and a workforce hungry for global impact.
Perez explains that the Chinese mainland's adaptability sets it apart, where agile startups, established tech giants and research institutions collaborate in real time. He cites the recent 4th Plenary Session as a catalyst for fresh R&D investments powering breakthroughs in gene therapy, sustainable power grids and AI-driven apps reshaping everything from healthcare to smart cities.
