On the 28th, at a grand event related to the country's scientific and technological innovation and development plan, General Secretary Xi Jinping added an important attributive to "Science and Technology Self-reliance" for the first time-"High Level".

  At the end of October last year, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made it clear that science and technology should be self-reliant and strengthened as a strategic support for national development.

  How to achieve a high level of strategic support? In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Party Central Committee made a strategic deployment and profoundly answered this major question.

Inevitable requirements and mission

  The importance of science and technology is self-evident by observing the general trend and seeking the overall situation.

So, at this important moment when we are embarking on the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, what role will scientific and technological innovation play?

  At the conference on the 28th, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: “The nation will stand if science and technology are strong, and the country will be strong if technology is strong.”

  The strength of action leads to the advancement of knowledge, and the depth of knowledge leads to greater action.

In the face of major changes in the world unseen in a century, in the face of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, in the face of the disturbances and challenges of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, technological innovation is undoubtedly an important weapon that we rely on to win.

  The most essential feature of the new development pattern is to achieve a high level of self-reliance.

Under the in-depth explanation of General Secretary Xi Jinping, people have a deeper and deeper understanding of technological self-reliance and a clearer understanding of the essential characteristics of the new development pattern.

  At this conference, the general secretary emphasized the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.

  From technological self-reliance and self-reliance to high-level technological self-reliance and self-reliance, although only one attributive is added, it has more clearly defined the inevitable requirements and mission of accelerating the construction of a scientific and technological power.

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

As the general secretary said at the conference: "my country's independent innovation career is promising! The vast number of scientific and technological workers in my country are promising!"

Self-reliance and self-reliance

  As long as the direction is determined, everyone knows where to go with Jin.

High-level technological self-reliance is the future direction of China's technological innovation.

  Why calibrate this direction?

The context can be found in the important speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping.

  One is to break through.

I believe that many people have seen the "stuck neck" problem that has frequently appeared in some key areas in the past few years.

The general secretary has repeatedly pointed out that the key core technology "will not come, buy, or ask."

  At this conference, the general secretary emphasized: "Science and technology research must adhere to the problem-oriented approach, and go to the most urgent and urgent problems."

  The second is transformation.

Where does the driving force for high-quality development come from?

Mainly rely on high-level technology for self-reliance.

  In this regard, the General Secretary elaborated in great detail: “Based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, constructing a new development pattern, and promoting high-quality development, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development to improve national innovation. System, accelerate the construction of a science and technology power, and achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance."

  The third is the first opportunity.

At present, global scientific and technological innovation has entered an unprecedentedly intensive and active period; at the same time, after years of hard work, my country's overall scientific and technological level has been greatly improved.

  The general secretary made an important judgment at the conference: "We have the foundation, confidence, confidence, and ability to seize the opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, take advantage of the trend, and develop our ambitions."

In the final analysis, it depends on high-level innovative talents

  All the history of science and technology has proved that whoever has first-class innovative talents and first-class scientists can take the initiative in technological innovation.

  Achievement is achieved by merit, and talent is broad by karma.

In the development of science and technology, General Secretary Xi Jinping always cares about talents. He emphasized: “my country must rely on high-level innovative talents to achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-reliance.”

  In the face of the approximately 3,000 top scientific and technological talents present, the general secretary once again emphasized the importance of talents, reflecting his great importance and ardent expectations for talents.

  The general secretary is highly concerned about not only young talents, but also top scientific and technological talents with world influence, as well as skilled craftsmen and craftsmen from big countries.

  Regarding talents, the general secretary demanded on the one hand: "Plant the plane tree and attract the golden phoenix." On the other hand, he emphasized: "Our country's education can cultivate masters. We must have this confidence!"

  How to make scientific and technical personnel concentrate on innovation has always been a topic of concern to the scientific and technological circles.

  At this conference, the general secretary specifically pointed out: "In 1961, the central government once proposed'guarantee scientific and technological personnel to have 5 days a week to engage in scientific research. The guarantee time is to protect the ability to innovate!"

  The general secretary said with heart and soul: "Scientific and technical personnel will not participate in various occasional and entertaining activities, and it will not bring any loss! We must not allow scientific and technical personnel to spend a lot of time on some unnecessary welcoming and sending activities. Unnecessary review and evaluation activities are spent on formalism and bureaucratic activities!"

  After speaking, there was warm applause from the audience, which represented the heartfelt voices of scientific and technological workers.

Solve problems through reforms

  How to solve problems through reforms, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important discussions on many occasions.

  At the academician conference of the two academies held in 2018, the general secretary emphasized: "The field of science and technology is the field that needs continuous reform."

  Regarding the reform of the scientific and technological system, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party made a systematic plan.

  At this conference, the general secretary once again gave guidelines for deepening the reform of the scientific and technological innovation system.

  "Competing among powers in science and technology in the world, it is the national strategic science and technology forces that are competing." "The focus is on improving basic reforms such as the evaluation system." "Science and technology management reform should not just be "addition", but must be good at "subtraction"." "Organization and management method" "let the scientific and technical personnel heroes with true talents and learning use their abilities"...

  Standing at the historical intersection of the "two centenary" goals, General Secretary Xi Jinping's strategic plan for scientific and technological innovation is far-sighted and inspiring; the ardent entrustment to scientific and technological workers is sincere and warm.
