“We must put the enhancement of original innovation capabilities in a more prominent position and strive for more breakthroughs from 0 to 1.” At the scientists’ symposium held on September 11, Secretary-General Xi Jinping spoke of the great strategic importance of accelerating scientific and technological innovation and raised fiery expectations for scientists and science workers.
Technology is the foundation of a country’s prosperity and innovation is the soul of national progress. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s science and technology enterprises have made historic achievements and underwent historic changes, and important innovations have enthusiastically emerged. Some cutting-edge fields have started to enter and lead the stage, and the scientific and technological force is moving from quantitative accumulation to a qualitative leap. From the point of advancement to the enhancement of system capabilities. However, we must also see that the shortcomings of China’s core technologies are still salient, and there is an urgent need to fight key core technologies to achieve more “0 to 1” and create more “from scratch.”
Achieving more “0 to 1” means opening up to more “stuck necks” and vigorously enhancing independent innovation capabilities. This is based on the consideration of the national and international situation of our country. Today’s world is undergoing major changes that have not been seen in a century. The national and international environment facing China’s development has undergone profound and complex changes. Economic and social development and the improvement of people’s livelihoods in China require more scientific and technological solutions than ever before, as well as the number one need for greater innovation. power. At the same time, in the face of fierce international competition and in the context of growing unilateralism and protectionism, we must take a path of innovation that suits our national conditions, clarify the main direction and advances of China’s scientific and technological innovation and strive for breakthroughs in key areas and technologies. The main innovation indicators have entered the world forefront.
Creating more “from scratch” means innovation is more difficult and tasks more arduous and onerous. This places greater demands on the large number of scientists and science and technology workers. Only with difficulty can we show more courage; only with hard work can it be precious. There is no easy path in science. Only those who are not afraid to work hard and climb steep mountain roads can hope to reach the peak of glory. Most scientists and science and technology workers must assume their historical responsibilities, vigorously promote the spirit of scientists, catch the general trend, seize opportunities, face problems head-on, face difficulties, and adhere to face the borders of the world science and technology, face the main economic battlefield, face the main needs of the country and face the people. Life and health continue to advance in the breadth and depth of science and technology.
Key core technologies will not come, buy or trade, and technological innovation must not be delayed, delayed, or slowed down. Faced with the urgent requirements of the “XIV Five-Year Plan” period and the longer-term development of China, we must accelerate scientific and technological innovation, continuously make new advancements in major scientific and technological fields, and consolidate the foundation for building a world scientific and technological power.
