　　In particular, in recent years, due to the control of others in the fields of high-end chips and core components, some Chinese enterprises have been besieged and "stuck in the neck" overseas, which has caused the Chinese people to think hard and also warn of a reality: if technological innovation cannot be achieved, the development of It is impossible for the power to be converted, and China will be at a disadvantage in the global economic competition.

　　"You can't always use other people's yesterday to dress up your own tomorrow. You can't always rely on the scientific and technological achievements of others to improve your own technological level, and you can't be the technological vassal of other countries, always following others' footsteps. We have no other The choice is to take the road of independent innovation.” Xi Jinping issued a warning: The key core technologies cannot be obtained, bought, or begged.

　　At the World Economic Forum's "Davos Agenda" dialogue, Xi Jinping emphasized that China will increase investment in science and technology, pay close attention to the construction of an innovation system, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, strengthen intellectual property protection, and promote the realization of innovation-driven connotation type growth.
