CCTV Quick Review丨Take technological independence and self-reliance as a strategic support for national development

  "Take scientific and technological self-reliance as a strategic support for national development" "Major breakthroughs in key core technologies and entry into the forefront of innovative countries".

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China highly emphasized the core position of innovation in the overall modernization drive, drawing a blueprint and clear goals for the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and even longer periods of innovation and development, which will surely further promote innovation in the whole society. Confidence, release innovative vitality, and provide strategic support for the promotion of high-quality development.

  To grasp innovation is to grasp development, and to seek innovation is to seek the future.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, my country's R&D investment has increased substantially, and major innovations have emerged. The ranking of the global innovation index has risen from 29th to 14th, and significant progress has been made in the construction of an innovative country.

At the same time, we must face up to the gaps and shortcomings.

As analyzed in the Fifth Plenary Session of the Communiqué, the problem of my country’s unbalanced and inadequate development is still prominent, the task of reforming key areas and key links is still arduous, and innovation capabilities do not meet the requirements of high-quality development.

On the new journey, only by implementing innovation-driven development as a major strategy facing the future can we accelerate the transformation of economic development mode and effectively improve my country's overall national strength and international competitiveness.

  Technological innovation is the core of innovation-driven.

In today's world, whoever holds the "bull nose" of scientific and technological innovation, who has made the first move of scientific and technological innovation, can take the lead and win the advantage.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee clearly proposed that scientific and technological self-reliance should be the strategic support for national development.

Especially in the context of rising unilateralism and protectionism, we must blaze a trail of innovation that suits our national conditions, and in particular, we must put the enhancement of original innovation capabilities in a more prominent position, and strive to achieve more breakthroughs from 0 to 1 Enhance the contribution of scientific and technological progress to economic growth and form a new source of growth power.

  Innovation is a systematic project. The innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and policy chain are intertwined and mutually support each other. Only when technological innovation and institutional innovation are driven by a two-wheel drive and play a synergistic role can we get twice the result with half the effort.

This requires us to be problem-oriented, demand-driven, work hard on practical carriers, institutional arrangements, policy guarantees, and environmental construction, and continue to work hard on innovation subjects, innovation foundations, innovation resources, and innovation environments to strengthen national strategic science and technology. Strengthen the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system.

  Innovation is omni-directional and multi-faceted. In addition to technological innovation, we also need to strengthen industrial innovation, enterprise innovation, market innovation, product innovation, business format innovation, management innovation, etc., and accelerate the formation of an economic system led and supported by innovation And the development model, it is necessary to plan innovation with a global perspective, actively integrate into the global innovation network, and fully release the potential of innovation and creativity in all aspects, so that innovation can become a common practice in the whole society.

  Innovation is the soul of a nation’s progress, an inexhaustible source of a country’s prosperity, and the most characteristic endowment of the Chinese nation.

Standing at a new historical starting point, in the face of major changes unseen in a century and the development needs of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must earnestly implement a series of major deployments on innovation at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and seize the new one. In order to achieve major opportunities for scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, we will keep upright and innovate, pioneer and innovate, and enter the forefront of innovative countries as soon as possible.
