"Mr. Yuan, what do you think about Mr. Xin citing you as his source of inspiration for the robot pet dog that won him an award at International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva and the Highest Science and Technology Award?" the reporter asked again.
The gold medal of the International Exhibition of Inventions might be the most prestigious invention award in the world, it wasn't a particularly rare award in truth. The rarer award was the Highest Science and Technology Award.
The evaluation of this award was extremely strict and if there were no suitable candidates, they would rather let the award stay empty for the year. For example, during 2004 and 2015, nobody got the award.
