My daughter came here when she was only 4 years oldWhat's the most memorable experience you've had in China? The friendliness of the peopleThat is a great problem in the West, and I feel it is becoming more prevalent in ChinaSmith Memorial Award and the prestigious David Craig Medal for Chemistry

Society has become much more insular, and people are more focused on themselves and their toysTo turn your back on that and just focus on applications is the demise of science and technology

How do you view China's role in today's world? China needs to become a world leader and inspire other countries, particularly in terms of friendship and cooperation to show countries how not to be bullies, but how to be friendsTo have real development in the applied scientific fields, we need to continue funding the core science underpinning it

Being at that meeting made us scientists feel like we were contributing to China and, in turn, to the world" The scientist was awarded the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award on Sept 6 for his contribution to the city's efforts to build a global science and technology hubEarlier in his career, he also received the Royal Australian Chemical Institute's HSince taking charge, his research center has published a series of academic papers in major scientific journals, including Nature, which has helped raise Shanghai University's international profileDespite only arriving in China three years ago, Australian professor Jeffrey Reimers has already had a significant impact on Shanghai's scientific communityAll these things are global issues that affect China, and China is doing its share to address these key issues
