On July 17, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech during his inspection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasizing that the scientific and technological community must work together to establish a strong sense of innovation and self-confidence, dare to question existing theories, be brave to open up new directions, and continue to overcome difficulties Pursue excellence.
On the occasion of this year's National Science and Technology Workers' Day, Xi Jinping wrote back to 25 representatives of science and technology workers, re-emphasizing "firm innovation and self-confidence", and encouraged the majority of science and technology workers to make new and greater contributions to building China into a world power of science and technology .
Science and technology have never profoundly influenced the future and destiny of the country like today, nor have they profoundly affected people's lives and well-being like today. In particular, this year's decisive victory to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and a decisive battle against poverty. The sudden new coronary pneumonia epidemic poses challenges for us to complete our set goals and objectives. More than ever, we need firm innovation and self-confidence.
In the early days of the founding of New China, China's science and technology were poor and poor. Our party led the broad masses of people to blaze the trails and thorns, and achieved "two bombs and one star", artificially synthesized crystalline bovine insulin and other scientific and technological achievements with international influence. After the reform and opening up, high-performance computers, manned spaceflight, and lunar exploration projects... China has achieved one after another the scientific and technological achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has focused on the overall situation and faced the future, made a major strategic choice of "must regard innovation as the first driving force for development", implemented innovation-driven development strategies, and accelerated the construction of an innovative country To sound the horn of building a world power of science and technology.
△September 25, 2016, when the "China Sky Eye" (500-meter-diameter spherical radio telescope) was inaugurated, Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the scientific and technological workers, engineering technicians, and builders who participated in the development and construction. Congratulations and sincere greetings.
Major scientific and technological achievements such as deep-sea exploration, C919 large aircraft, and sky-eye telescope are exciting. Deep-sea drilling platforms, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and other national engineering reports are frequently reported. Infrastructures such as airports, ports, and highways are increasingly perfect. High-speed rail, mobile payment, sharing economy, Online shopping and other leading trends... A prosperous and fast-changing technology power continues to show the world China's splendor.
△ On March 2, 2020, Xi Jinping inspected the research on the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia in Beijing. This is Xi Jinping's progress in understanding the development of vaccines and antibodies, drug screening, viral pathogenic mechanism research, rapid detection reagent research and application, etc. at the Military Medical Research Institute combined with exhibition boards and physical objects.
In the face of a sudden outbreak this year, Chinese science and technology workers have fought this hard battle to master more core technologies with independent intellectual property rights and come up with more "hard-core products." On May 8th, Xi Jinping pointed out in a forum for non-party persons: "We have relied on technological advances to determine the whole genome sequence of the new coronavirus and isolated the virus strain in less than a week, and launched a variety of detection reagent products in time , Quickly screened a batch of effective drugs and treatment options, and the vaccine development of multiple technical routes has entered the clinical trial stage."
After accumulating steps for thousands of miles, Huiju trickled down into a river. The confidence and strength to move forward come from the powerful strength accumulated over decades, and a series of achievements have added sufficient confidence to the innovation and confidence.
With the accelerated spread of overseas epidemic situations, international economic and trade activities have been severely affected, and my country's economic development is facing new challenges. At the same time, it has also brought new opportunities for my country to accelerate technological development and promote industrial optimization and upgrading. In the process of responding to the epidemic, new technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence have created more diverse and richer application scenarios, which has spawned and promoted the rapid development of many emerging industries.
On May 23 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited economic committee members attending the Third Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

During an inspection in Zhejiang at the end of March and the beginning of April, Xi Jinping pointed out that a crisis machine always coexists with each other, and it is an opportunity to overcome the crisis. We must seize the opportunities afforded by industrial digitalization and digital industrialization, accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers, seize the layout of strategic emerging industries and future industries such as the digital economy, life and health, and new materials, and vigorously promote technological innovation and focus Expand new growth points and form new development momentum.
To nurture new opportunities and open new horizons, innovation is the "golden key" to resolve the crisis, and innovation self-confidence is the "righteousness in the question" of seeing the crisis.
On March 4, 2013, Xi Jinping pointed out during the discussion at the joint meeting of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, that in the increasingly fierce global competition for comprehensive national strength, we must "take the path of independent innovation and adopt More active and effective countermeasures, advance deployment and bold exploration in key science and technology fields related to the future, accelerate the transition from element-driven development to innovation-driven development, and play the leading role of technological innovation support."
On May 26 this year, when attending the plenary meeting of the delegation of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force at the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress, Xi Jinping demanded that he insist on asking for scientific and technological innovation, and strengthen national defense technological innovation, especially independent innovation and original innovation.
"Innovation has always been a life of nine deaths", General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged the majority of Chinese science and technology workers to have a strong confidence and determination to innovate, and to have the courage to "do what they want, although the nine deaths never regret it" Difficulties, pursuit of excellence, victory, and actively seize the commanding heights of technological competition and future development.
△On July 6, 2019, the activity "Commemorating the 40 years of development of China's supercomputing business and the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the National Supercomputing Tianjin Center" was held in Tianjin Binhai New Area.
