"Innovation is what we need most in building the strategic support force. Innovation is the fundamental solution, " said Xi, urging the force to focus on real combat, efficiency, and integration of military and civilian development.

Xi particularly stressed innovation in military theory and technology, calling for the fostering of new types of combat forces and high-level creative talent.
