In more than 70 years,
In the period of more than 70 years, it has roughly experienced the period of political coach with "class struggle as the outline" and the "economic coach" period of "economic construction".The previous period was led by Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping, who supported reform and opening up in the next period.During the Xi Jinping era, the route of reform and opening up continued, but the national strategic focus gradually shifted from pure chasing economic growth and the development of scientific and technological forces.The 20th National Congress of the Mainland Government and the Third Plenary Session of the Third Central Committee and the 15th Five -Year Plan for preparation have raised the status of science and technology in the national strategy to unprecedented height.China is moving towards a new era of "science and technology handsome".
The mainland government began to set up the Central Science and Technology Commission shortly after the 2022th National Congress of 2022.Recently, Ding Xuexiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Mainland Government of Science and Technology, appeared as the director of the Central Science and Technology Commission, highlighting the importance and professionalism of the Central Science and Technology Commission.Ding Xuexiang has a long -term experience in scientific research institutions and is one of the many leaders with many science and engineering backgrounds in the 20th National Congress.Among the members of the Politburo, there are also technical officials such as Li Qianjie, Chen Jining, Ma Xingrui, Yuan Jiajun, Yin Li and other technical officials who have strong technical officials.Cadres with scientific and technological research and development and management planning capabilities will be preferred by the organization department.
After the establishment of the Central Science and Technology Commission, China has clearly strengthened its promotion of scientific and technological research and development and strategic planning.Since then, Xi Jinping first proposed the development of "new productive forces" for the first time when investigating in Harbin, calling for a new productivity through scientific and technological innovation.During the "two sessions" this year, "new quality productive forces" became a high -frequency word. At home and abroad, the structural changes in China's foreign trade were highFor the first time, it exceeded 1 trillion yuan (approximately S $ 185.4 billion); innovation achievements in front -edge fields such as 3D printing, biopharmaceuticals, high -end equipment, artificial intelligence, and quantum technology have also emerged.The upcoming Third Plenary Session is likely to develop "new productive forces" and determine the focus of economic and industrial strategy in the future.
From the perspective of the current situation, it is still important to ensure that a certain speed of economic growth is still important, but the assessment criteria of the GDP (GDP) supremacy have allowed the independent innovation of science and technology, national security, risk management, social governance, etc.For comprehensive comprehensive indicators, the development of science and technology is mentioned a new height.
The mainland government emphasizes that technology coaches are closely related to the current tense international situation.The trend of competition in the United States and China has become increasingly obvious. The geographical issues such as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea have a trend of heating up. To a certain extent, the Russian and Ukraine War has also exacerbated the tension between China and Western countries.Recently, the United States and Europe have once again raised tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles such as "overcapacity".The continuous tension between China and developed economies of the West basically ended the dependence of advanced foreign technology during the reform and opening up.
It can be said that the United States imposed tariffs on China and scientific and technological sanctions on China is an important international background that China has transformed from economic commander to science and technology.Similar to the dual -cycle strategy proposed in previous years, new productivity also emphasizes that relying on domestic forces and independent innovation, independent research and development, strengthen originality and subversive technological innovation, and achieve self -sufficiency of key core technologies.
The purpose ofTechnology is the purpose of achieving new industrialization and modernization. On the road of modern Chinese -style modernization, advanced technology and modernization experience in other countries are still worth learning.Self -reliance is not excluding international cooperation and exchanges. Scientific and technological cooperation between nations is always an important driving force for global scientific and technological innovation and development.In the situation of difficulty in scientific and technological exchanges between China and the United States and some allies, scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation between China and many other countries continue.Even between China and the United States, the two sides still maintain cooperation in the fields of new energy, biopharmaceuticals.The development of new productivity is based on the premise of domestic, and it is also necessary to absorb advanced overseas technologies and experience as much as possible to give birth to new productive forces.
Although it has experienced from political commander, economic commander, to science and technology, paying attention to the development of science and technology is actually a tradition of the mainland government after the establishment of politics.As early as the 1950s, Marshal Nie Rongzhen, Marshal of the PLA proposed the idea of using technological development strategic weapons.At the same time, China sent a large number of international students to study science and engineering technology from the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. After returning to China, it became a technical backbone and experts.
In the Deng era, China began to introduce advanced technologies from the West, and strengthened international technological exchanges and cooperation.Deng Xiaoping himself clearly put forward that "science and technology are the first productive forces". China ’s investment in scientific and technological research and development has steadily increased during the reform and opening up.
In the period of Xi, China's economic development has entered the deep water area, and the international situation is intricate, and the development of scientific and technological development has been improved to an unprecedented strategic height.Regardless of the political architecture, national investment, or talent training, they are constantly inclined to high -tech research and development and innovation. It is expected that technological breakthroughs can be achieved through the national system to break sanctions.
However, China's vigorous development of science and technology will only strengthen the competition in the United States and the United States and the blockade and sanctions on technology.Regardless of the results of the US election this year, the US government will not relax its technical restrictions on China.However, this blockade will further stimulate China's determination to develop independent technological power.Therefore, China ’s science and technology handsome will continue for a long time.
