Now that nuclear technologies have been widely used in many fields, Xing said he is expecting China's nuclear technology to be applied in more places globally. China is willing to provide the solution to the global community with Hualong One technology, including the main equipment, personnel training and experiences to boost global ties.

Xing said China's transformation in the nuclear power industry after some 30 years of learning and innovation is full of challenges and risks. It requires the ability to analyze problems, the courage to explore uncharted territory, and resilience in the face of failure.

"China, once a novice that intended to build nuclear power plants based on imported technologies, is beefing up its independent research and development in the field. And its own designs are just as viable and competitive with regard to safety and cost, which are based on consistent research over the past few decades," said Xing.

"We are very proud to be where we are today."
