It's a good news for promotion of science and technology of China. Science allows failure, needs risking the new world and what the researchers should do is to prevent unnecessary failure.
This is a welcome move by the Chinese Government.This would boost research and provide scientists incentive to do innovative work and take risks on demanding projects.
