Wen visited a number of high-tech companies and met

with scientists and officials, in the company of Beijing's Communist Party chief

Liu Qi and Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong.

The government has launched a series of measures to

deal with the current global financial crisis. They gave greater importance to

the power of knowledge, science and technology which have far-reaching effects,

Wen said.

"In front of the crisis, everybody should stand up

and be brave to take his responsibility," Wen emphasized.

He urged scientists to help domestic enterprises

resolve difficulties, improve management, develop new products and create new

technology.

The science park is celebrating the 20th anniversary

of its founding this year.
