BEIJING, Sept. 30 -- On her first trip to China, Nkamoheng Margaret Phadu-More went to an exhibition in Beijing that showcased China's achievements in the past five years, including technological innovations like interactive robots, cutting-edge medical machines, and models of China's bullet trains.
"What impresses me most is the CAT scan [machine]," said the woman from South Africa. "It can detect illness with great accuracy. Many people's lives can be saved with that."
The exhibition started Tuesday, jointly held by four departments, including the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the National Development and Reform Commission.
Featuring ten themed zones and an experiential zone, the exhibition covers various areas including economic progress, political reform, cultural development, environmental protection, Party discipline, diplomacy and military reform. The displays, models and VR technology detail China's achievements since the 18th CPC National Congress five years ago.
INNOVATION-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Economically, China has made great progress. The country's GDP increased dramatically from 54.04 trillion yuan (8.14 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2017, to 74.41 trillion yuan in 2016.
Innovation has been powering the growth. China ranked 22nd in the Global Innovation Index in 2017, becoming the only middle income country to make the top 25.
Two innovations in the exhibition are the Fuxing bullet train and the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.
