The address celebrating Tsinghua's centennial by President Hu can be viewed here.

In the address President Hu underlines and reaffirms the importance of creating an "innovation" economy to the future success of China.  Stating that only by making greater investments in human capital and encouraging innovation will China be able to grow further into the future and become a "moderately wealthy" country.

The other issue that Hu's speech addresses that is of interest to me is the admittance that China's educational, and university educational system in particular is in need of improvement on many levels to become internationally competitive.
