China will prioritize three areas of space technology including satellite navigation systems in the next two decades, according to a report released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The other two areas are remote sensing and space communications, according to the report on high technology development released by the Academy.

The result reflects a consensus among scientists after the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) carried out a survey into research perspectives for China's space technology.

However, according to Mu Rongping, director of Institute of Policy and Management under CAS, the development of China's space technology is being held back by a lack of investment, insufficient human resources and inadequate infrastructure.

Mu said system precision and accuracy will be the focus of the new research.

A special type of sweet purple potato, grown from seeds once aboard China's second manned spacecraft, could be a must-choose item for young couples here on Valentine's Day. The new type of sweet potato, developed from seeds that mutated in outer space, has a much deeper purple color than previous generations, according to the Haikou Purple Orchid, the grower, in China's southernmost Hainan Province.
