Chen Liquan, a newly honored recipient of the State Preeminent Science and Technology Award performed down private glory and saved coming again to at least one imaginative and prescient: Electric China.
“For me, the honor isn’t really the point. What matters is that the country takes Electric China seriously and gives it the recognition it deserves,” he stated. “What we’ve done so far is still far from enough.”
In his view, Electric China isn’t just about electrical autos – it is a three‑pillar system: electrifying transportation (vehicles, plane, ships), clever infrastructure (good cities, villages, mines) and low‑carbon vitality (wind, photo voltaic, nuclear).
And the beating coronary heart of all this? Energy storage. “Without batteries, you only get power when the wind blows or the sun shines,” he defined. “But with lithium or sodium batteries, you can store that energy and release it whenever you need it.”
He wrapped up with a humble smile: “This award is a call for all of us to work together and make Electric China happen.” (CGTN)
