The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held a science lecture in Beijing on Sept 25, which was attended by CPPCC National Committee vice-chairpersons Shen Yueyue and Wang Dongfeng.

Cao Jianlin, a member of the 13th CPPCC National Committee and former vice-minister of science and technology, delivered a lecture on the development path of China's integrated circuit industry and its prospects. More than 700 participants, including CPPCC National Committee and local committee members, university students and scientific researchers, attended the event.

The science lecture program is a key initiative of the CPPCC National Committee for promoting science popularization, a decision made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is also a major part of CPPCC National Committee members' duty in "serving the people". The program aims to leverage the professional expertise of CPPCC members to contribute to economic development and social progress, and foster a positive atmosphere where people love and value science.
