Cloned monkeys signal progress in biotech (
科技兴则民族兴,科技强则国家强
During a general assembly (of China's top scientists and engineers in 2018,
President Xi Jinping said“historic,holistic(整体性的),and structural(结构性的)”changes
1
(take)place in the science and technology sector in recent years.
Many innovations have allowed China 2
(catch)up with other scientific
powerhouses or even lead in certain frontier fields,Xi said.
As innovation is the 3
(drive)force of development,Xi said efforts must
4
(make)to ensure high-quality science and technology to support the
development of a modern economy.
A significant example is cloned monkeys.In January of this year,Chinese scientists
5
(announce)the cloning of five monkeys from a gene-edited macaque
with circadian rhythm disorders(生物节律紊乱).It was the first time multiple monkeys
6
(clone)from a gene-edited monkey for biomedical research.The cloned
monkeys were born at the Chinese Academy of Science's Institute of Neuroscience in
Shanghai.
Bai Chunli,the academy's president,said the idea of obtaining core (technologies
and improving China's innovative capacity has been the key mission for the academy,which
is also celebrating its 70th birthday this year.Bai said to enhance (the nation's
scientific power,China needs to learn how 7
(tackle)major challenges with limited
resources.
Despite these achievements,Dou Xiankang,president of Wuhan University,said China
was still lacking in key technological fields,such as microchips(微晶片),which could hinder
the nation's socioeconomic development.
“To overcome these obstacles(障碍),the first thing is&
(attract)and build a
team of young,high-quality talented people,”he said.“investment(投资)in human capital
and more government support are also important.9
(solve)these bottleneck
issues will certainly require 10
_(patient)and time,but I am sure we will have
fewer such issues in the future."
