How do you view China's role in today's world? China needs to become a world leader and inspire other countries, particularly in terms of friendship and cooperation to show countries how not to be bullies, but how to be friendsTo have real development in the applied scientific fields, we need to continue funding the core science underpinning it

Being at that meeting made us scientists feel like we were contributing to China and, in turn, to the world" The scientist was awarded the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award on Sept 6 for his contribution to the city's efforts to build a global science and technology hubEarlier in his career, he also received the Royal Australian Chemical Institute's HSince taking charge, his research center has published a series of academic papers in major scientific journals, including Nature, which has helped raise Shanghai University's international profile

Despite only arriving in China three years ago, Australian professor Jeffrey Reimers has already had a significant impact on Shanghai's scientific communityAll these things are global issues that affect China, and China is doing its share to address these key issuesHe is currently working on a project that involves protein crystallography, a vital element in drug design, and is collaborating with prominent Chinese scientist Hong Guo on research into silicon electronicsThree or four years ago, when my family and I were on the subway or a bus in Shanghai, people around would talk to us

I once had a student come visit me and he was almost in tears after having to cross a road"Hopefully when I'm done with my work here, the connection between the two universities will be further strengthened, and through that I will leave a legacy," Reimers said

Many countries are in the position China was 40 years ago, and the lessons learned here in China are certainly appropriate for themTo see that happening and to be a part of it in my own little way is very specialIn terms of challenges in the field of science, environmental damage and sustainability would be core issues

What three words would you use to describe China? Unified, together, visionChina needs to expand its reputation and abilities in these areas
