China's top political advisory body is aware that "bottlenecks still exist in some areas of China's core technology" and has put forth many "inspiring ideas" to advance relevant work, said a spokesperson for the body at a press briefing on Thursday.

"Technological innovation is an important issue in the development of our country," said Guo Weimin, spokesperson for the fifth session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). "It is also an important item in our deliberation efforts."
