as xi jinping pointed out, "scientific and technological innovation is an important engine for the development of human society, a powerful weapon to meet many global challenges, and the only way for china to build a new development pattern and achieve high-quality development."
"zhu rong" explores fire, "xi he" goes day by day, "tianhe" travels in the stars... since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), the reform of china's science and technology system has made steady progress, china's innovation capacity has made steady progress, and its supporting and leading role has been significantly enhanced.
at present, china has embarked on a new journey to comprehensively build a modern socialist country, and scientific and technological innovation plays a very important role in the overall development of the party and the country. in the face of profound changes unseen in a century, we must seize the key variable of scientific and technological innovation to develop new opportunities in the midst of crisis and open up new horizons in the midst of changes. we should focus on the new stage of development, apply the new vision of development, build a new development landscape, and promote high-quality development. we should make self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology the strategic underpinning of national development, and strengthen the driving force for high-quality development driven by innovation.
to boost the drivers of innovation, the key lies in deepening reform, removing institutional constraints on innovation, and effectively enhancing our capacity for scientific and technological innovation. the cpc central committee has made plans to implement a three-year plan to address key issues in the reform of the science and technology management system, strengthen national strategic science and technology forces, strengthen the development of national laboratories and key national laboratories, give full play to the role of universities and research institutes, improve the way major science and technology projects are initiated and managed, and deepen reform of the system for evaluating and encouraging science and technology. in the long run, we will implement the ten-year plan for basic research, strengthen long-term and stable support, and further consolidate the foundation for scientific and technological innovation. at the same time, strengthening the leading role of enterprises in innovation and giving them more incentives to innovate will provide more new drivers for high-quality development.
innovation-driven development is, in essence, talent-driven development. to achieve self-reliance and self-improvement in high-level science and technology, it is in the final analysis to rely on high-level innovative talents. deepening the reform of the science and technology system will focus on "people", and the initiative and creativity of researchers and innovators will be an important focus of the reform. in recent years, china's science and technology system reform measures are aimed at stimulating the innovation vitality of researchers. in the future, we will further reduce the burdens and restrictions on researchers, ensure that science and technology policies are firmly implemented, improve the ecosystem for scientific and technological innovation, and increase support for young researchers so that they can devote themselves to their research and give full play to their capabilities.
as we embark on a new journey and make achievements in a new era, our scientists and engineers will surely build on this momentum, adhere to the "four dimensions", be confident in innovation, and advance in the breadth and depth of science and technology. they will make new and greater contributions to building china into a world power in science and technology and realizing the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation.
