In the past few decades China has made significant achievements in science and technology. In recent years, disturbances in international relationships have brought to China warnings and new requirements about how to better develop science and technology. For forward-thinking, new changes are needed for the training and evaluation system of sci-tech talents in the new era. It is essential to build a comprehensive and independent system of scientific education, to establish an Englishspeaking research environment in top universities, and to support more Chinese scientists to participate in international scientific collaborations and communications. These measures will provide important support for the long term, healthy development of science and technology in China.
