Clean and highly-efficient nuclear energy is currently the most promising choice in realizing China's goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2060, according to a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Li Ziying, a CPPCC member and the former chairman of the Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology, a subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), said that the high-quality development of nuclear power is key to promoting national energy security and implementation of a related innovation-driven development strategy will be a part of CNNC's plans to support the country's high-quality development.

He also mentioned that this year's government work report included improving technological and innovation capacities. He expressed his hope that the country will continue to strengthen support for enterprises' technological innovation in basic research and development and implement preferential tax policies to encourage it.
