In-depth implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents in the new era

Accelerate the construction of an important talent center and innovation highland in the world

Xi Jinping

  This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

In the course of a hundred years of struggle, our party has always attached importance to cultivating talents, uniting talents, leading talents, and achieving talents, uniting and supporting talents from all walks of life to contribute to the cause of the party and the people.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has made a major judgment that talent is a strategic resource for national rejuvenation and international competition. It has made major deployments for cultivating, introducing, and using talents in an all-round way, and has promoted historic achievements in talent work in the new era. Historical changes have taken place.

  First, the party's leadership over talent work has been comprehensively strengthened.

We insist that development is the first priority, innovation is the first driving force, and talents are the first resource. We establish the strategic position of talents leading development, play the leading role of major talent projects, deepen the reform of the talent development system and mechanism, and stimulate all kinds of talents' innovative vitality. The enthusiasm and initiative of various departments in the work of talents are unprecedented. Career development and policy innovation have created unprecedented conditions for talents. The supporting role of talents in my country's development is unprecedented. The land of China is becoming a hot spot for all kinds of talents.

  Second, the talent team has grown rapidly.

The total number of human resources in the country has increased from 120 million in 2010 to 220 million in 2019, of which professional and technical personnel have increased from 55.504 million to 78.398 million.

The full-time equivalent of various R&D personnel reaches 4.8 million per year, ranking first in the world.

  Third, the effectiveness of talents continues to increase.

The contribution of talents to economic and social development has been increasing year by year. Major national strategies and major tasks such as service innovation-driven development, decisive battle against poverty, decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, promotion of coordinated regional development, and fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic have been fruitful.

my country's scientific and technological strength is moving from the accumulation of quantity to the qualitative leap, from the breakthrough of the point to the improvement of system capability.

From September 27 to 28, 2021, the Central Talent Work Conference will be held in Beijing.

  Fourth, the comparative advantage of talents has steadily increased.

my country's R&D investment has increased from 1.03 trillion yuan in 2012 to 2.44 trillion yuan in 2020, ranking second in the world.

According to the Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, my country’s ranking has risen rapidly from 34th in 2012 to 12th in 2021.

  These facts show that my country already has a large-scale, high-quality, optimized structure, and an increasingly prominent talent team. Our talent workstation is at a new historical starting point.

  At present, our country has entered a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and marching towards the second centenary goal. We are closer to the grand goal of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and even more so than at any time in history. Hungry for talent.

To achieve our goal, high-level technological self-reliance is the key.

In the final analysis, competition for comprehensive national strength is competition for talents.

Talent is an important indicator to measure a country's comprehensive national strength.

Talent is the key to independent innovation, and top talent is irreplaceable.

National development depends on talents, and national rejuvenation depends on talents.

We must increase our awareness of distress, pay more attention to the independent training of talents, and accelerate the establishment of competitive advantages in human resources.

  It must be noted that compared with the new situation and new tasks, my country's talent work still has many unsuitable points.

The structural contradiction of the talent team is prominent, the degree of precision in the talent policy is not high, and the reform of the talent development system and mechanism still has the problem of the "last mile" not being smooth. The evaluation of talents is only thesis, title, education, and awards "four only", etc. The problem is still more prominent, and so on.

Many of these problems are long-standing difficulties and need to continue to work hard to solve them.

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clarified the strategic goal of my country's entry into the forefront of an innovative country by 2035 and a country with talents.

To do a good job of talents in the new era, we must adhere to the party’s management of talents, persist in facing the frontiers of world science and technology, facing the main economic battlefield, facing the major needs of the country, facing the people’s lives and health, thoroughly implementing the strategy of strengthening the country with talents in the new era, and cultivating, introducing and making good use of all aspects. Talents, speed up the construction of the world's important talent center and innovation highland, provide talent support for the basic realization of socialist modernization by 2035, and lay a good talent foundation for building a strong socialist modern country in 2050.

1. Fully implement new ideas, new strategies and new measures for talent work in the new era

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has profoundly answered the major theoretical and practical questions of why building a country with talents, what is a country with talents, and how to build a country with talents, and put forward a series of new concepts, new strategies and new measures.

  The first is to uphold the party's overall leadership over talent work.

This is the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job of talented people.

Qianqiu's foundation is talent-oriented.

The party’s management of talents means that the party should lead the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, promote high-level science and technology to become self-reliant, strengthen the political leadership of talent work, support and help talents in all directions, do everything possible to cultivate and achieve talents, with the insight and love of talents Our sincerity, courage to use talents, elegance of capacity for talents, and a good way to gather talents, we strive to gather outstanding talents from within and outside the party, at home and abroad, into the great struggle of the party and the people, and strive to build a scale A large, reasonable structure and high-quality talent team.

  The second is to adhere to the strategic position of talents leading development.

This is a major strategy for doing a good job of talents.

Talent is the first resource for innovation, and talent resource is an important strength and significant advantage of our country in the fierce international competition.

Innovation-driven is essentially talent-driven. Based on the new development stage, implementing new development concepts, constructing a new development pattern, and promoting high-quality development, we must put the development of human resources at the highest priority, vigorously build strategic talents, and strive to consolidate innovative development of talents. Base.

  The third is to adhere to facing the frontiers of world science and technology, facing the main economic battlefield, facing the major needs of the country, and facing the lives and health of the people.

This is the goal direction of doing a good job of talents.

It is necessary to support and encourage scientists and scientific and technological workers to closely follow the general trend of the world's scientific and technological development, to benchmark against the first-class level, and to dare to propose new theories, open up new fields, and explore new paths in accordance with the urgent and long-term needs of the country's development. Major scientific and technological achievements, constantly conquering the key core technologies of "stuck neck", continuously marching into the breadth and depth of science and technology, writing papers on the motherland, and applying scientific and technological achievements to the great cause of realizing socialist modernization.

On September 11, 2020, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission hosted a symposium of scientists in Beijing and delivered an important speech.

  The fourth is to insist on cultivating and making good use of talents in all aspects.

This is the key task of doing a good job of talents.

It is necessary to strengthen the self-confidence of talent cultivation, create first-class scientific and technological leaders and innovative teams, cultivate a reserve army of young scientific and technological talents with international competitiveness, make good use of active talents, boldly use young talents, inspire innovation and vitality, open vision to select talents, and eclectic Use talents.

  The fifth is to persist in deepening the reform of the talent development system and mechanism.

This is an important guarantee for doing a good job of talents.

It is necessary to break through the system and mechanism obstacles in personnel training, use, evaluation, service, support, incentives, etc., break the "Four Onlys" phenomenon, authorize the employers, loosen the constraints of talents, and transform my country's system advantages into talent advantages and technological competitive advantages. Accelerate the formation of a training mechanism that is conducive to the growth of talents, a use mechanism that is conducive to the use of talents, an incentive mechanism that is conducive to the use of talents, and a competition mechanism that is conducive to talents. Free from bondage.

  Sixth, insist on gathering talents from all over the world to use them.

This is the basic requirement for doing a good job of talents.

China's development requires the participation of world talents, and China's development also provides opportunities for world talents.

We must implement a more active, more open, and more effective talent introduction policy, make good use of global innovation resources, accurately introduce urgently needed talents, form an attractive and internationally competitive talent system, and accelerate the construction of a world's important talent center and innovation highland.

  Seventh, we insist on creating an environment where we are knowledgeable, love, respect, and use talents.

This is the social condition for good talent work.

We must actively create a social environment that respects talents and is eager to seek talents, an institutional environment that is fair and equal, competitive and selects the best, and a living environment with appropriate treatment and strong protection must be created. A good atmosphere of innovation, tolerance and innovation.

On November 3, 2021, the 2020 National Science and Technology Awards Conference will be held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

  The eighth is to persist in carrying forward the spirit of scientists.

This is the spiritual guidance and ideological guarantee for doing a good job of talented people.

We must carry forward the patriotic spirit of minding the motherland and serving the people, the innovative spirit of bravely climbing the peak and the courage to be the first, the truth-seeking spirit of pursuing the truth and rigorous scholarship, the dedication spirit of indifferent to fame and fortune, and the spirit of concentrating on research. The spirit of educating people willingly and rewarding students, educates and guides all kinds of talents who are committed to patriotic struggle and determination to innovate.

  The above eight points are our deepening of our understanding of the law of the development of talents in our country, and we must always adhere to and continue to enrich and develop.

2. Accelerate the construction of an important talent center and innovation highland in the world

  In human history, science and technology and talents have always gathered in places with good development momentum, high levels of civilization, and the most active innovations.

Since the 16th century, five centers of science and talent have been formed in the world.

The first is in Italy in the 16th century. The Renaissance movement promoted scientific development and produced a large number of scientists such as Copernicus, Galileo, Leonardo, and Visali. A large number of scientific masterpieces and scientific inventions such as the telescope.

The second is Britain in the 17th century. Bacon’s empirical theory and the concept of “knowledge is power” accelerated scientific progress. It produced scientific masters such as Newton and Boyle, and opened up multiple disciplines such as mechanics and chemistry, which became the first promotion. The forerunner of the industrial revolution.

The third is France in the 18th century. The Enlightenment created a social atmosphere yearning for science, and produced a large number of outstanding scientists represented by Lagrange, Laplace, Lavoisier, Ampere, etc., in analytical mechanics, thermodynamics, chemistry, etc. Major achievements have been made in other disciplines.

Fourth, Germany in the 19th century produced a large number of scientists such as Einstein, Planck, Ohm, Gauss, Riemann, Liebig, and Hoffman, and created major scientific theories such as relativity, quantum mechanics, organic chemistry, and cell theory. .

Fifth, the United States in the 20th century gathered a large number of top scientists such as Fermi, von Neumann, and produced a large number of top inventors such as Bell, Edison, and Shockley. The United States has won nearly 70% of the Nobel Prize. The scientific achievements accounted for more than 60% of the world's total in the same period, and gathered nearly 50% of the world's highly cited scientists.

  Now, with a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation in the world, we are facing both rare historical opportunities and severe challenges.

The Chinese nation is a hard-working and intelligent nation. For thousands of years, my country's scientific and technological innovation has made great contributions to human civilization.

Since modern times, our country has not seized the historical opportunity of the Industrial Revolution, and then suffered from wars and bullying by foreign powers, leading to long-term backwardness in science and technology and talents in our country.

Now, our country is in a period of the most stable politics, the most prosperous economy, and the most active innovation. The strong leadership of the party and the political advantages of my country's socialist system have achieved major breakthroughs in basic research and applied basic research, and strategic high technology for major national needs Research has achieved important results, and applied research has led the industry to move towards the mid-to-high end, creating favorable conditions for us to accelerate the construction of the world's important talent center and innovation highland.

From September 13 to 14, 2021, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission visited Yulin City, Shaanxi Province.

This is the morning of the 14th. When Xi Jinping was visiting Suide Experimental Middle School, he had a cordial exchange with students who were practicing calligraphy.

  To speed up the construction of the world's important talent center and innovation highland, we must grasp the strategic initiative and do a good job in top-level design and strategic planning.

Our goal is: by 2025, the investment in research and development of the whole society will increase substantially, the construction of the main force of scientific and technological innovation has made important progress, the level of gathering of top scientists has been significantly improved, the ability of independent training of talents has been continuously enhanced, and a large number of strategies in key core technology fields Technological talents, first-class technological leaders and innovative teams; by 2030, a talent system that adapts to high-quality development will be basically formed, and the ability of independent training of innovative talents will be significantly improved, and the attraction to world-class talents will be significantly enhanced. There will be a group in major scientific and technological fields. The front-runner has a group of pioneers in the emerging frontier cross-fields; by 2035, my country will form a comparative advantage in talent competition in many fields, and the national strategic scientific and technological strength and high-level talent team will be among the top in the world.

  Speeding up the construction of the world's important talent center and innovation highland requires a strategic layout.

Considering comprehensively, it is possible to build high-level talent pools in Beijing, Shanghai, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Some central cities where high-level talents are concentrated should also focus on building platforms for attracting and gathering talents, launching comprehensive reforms of talent development systems and mechanisms, and concentrating on the country. High-quality resources focus on supporting the construction of a number of national laboratories and new-type R&D institutions, launching an international scientific plan, providing a world-class innovation platform for talents, and accelerating the formation of a strategic fulcrum and a goose formation.

3. Deepen the reform of talent development system and mechanism

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have made great efforts in reforming talent training, use, evaluation, service, support, and incentive mechanisms, and achieved positive results.

At the same time, the reform of the talent development system and mechanism has not been “broken” nor “established” enough. The talent development system and mechanism that have both Chinese characteristics and comparative advantages in international competition have not yet been truly established.

We must adhere to the problem-oriented approach and focus on solving outstanding problems that have been troubled for many years and have been strongly reflected.

  First, authorize the employer.

The employer has the most say in how to make good use of talents.

The most urgent task at the moment is to fully authorize the employer according to the needs and actual situation, and the real authorization and authorization are in place.

The power that should be delegated by the administrative department must be delegated, and all the things that the employer can decide on its own should be decided by the employer, and the active role of the employer in the cultivation, introduction and use of talents should be brought into play.

Employers should give full play to their subjective initiative, enhance service awareness and guarantee capabilities, establish effective self-discipline and external supervision mechanisms, and ensure that the decentralized authority can be received and used well.

Employers must earnestly perform their main responsibilities, and they must be held accountable if they do not use authorization well and perform poorly.

  Second, actively relax the talents.

For a long time, some departments and units have been accustomed to managing talents. Many policy measures still focus on management, but there are not many measures and methods in terms of service, support, and incentives.

It is necessary to follow the law of talent growth and scientific research, and further break away from the traditional thinking of "official standard" and administrativeization. You cannot simply apply administrative management methods to scientific research work, and you cannot manage scientific research talents like administrative cadres.

It is necessary to improve the talent management system, be talent-oriented, trust talents, respect talents, treat talents kindly, and tolerate talents.

Scientists must be given greater power to determine technological routes, greater power to control funds, and greater power to dispatch resources, so that they can fully release their talents and energy.

At the same time, it is necessary to establish and improve the responsibility system and the "military order" system to ensure the effectiveness of scientific research projects.

It is necessary to deepen the reform of scientific research funding management and implement the concept of allowing funding to serve people's creative activities.

It is necessary to reform the management of scientific research projects, optimize and integrate talent plans, and allow talents to quietly do academic and research, and produce more and better results.

  Third, improve the talent evaluation system.

A prominent problem in my country's talent development system and mechanism is that the talent evaluation system is unreasonable. The "Four Onlys" phenomenon is still serious, and talent "hats" are flying all over the sky.

It is necessary to speed up the establishment of a talent evaluation system oriented by innovative value, ability, and contribution. The basic frontier research highlights the original orientation, the social welfare research highlights the demand orientation, and the application technology development and achievement transformation evaluation highlights the market orientation, and the formation and implementation of it is beneficial to scientific and technological talents. An evaluation system dedicated to research and innovation.

It is necessary to continue to take measures to cool the "hat fever" and avoid the tendency to simply use academic titles and talent titles to determine remuneration packages and allocate academic resources.

It is necessary to promote the reform of the academician system in response to the strategic needs of the country, and give better play to the role of the majority of academicians in scientific research, strategic consulting, discipline development, and talent training.

4. Accelerate the construction of national strategic talents

  Strategic talents stand at the forefront of international science and technology, lead independent innovation of science and technology, and undertake national strategic scientific and technological tasks. They are an important force supporting my country's high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, and the construction of strategic talent must be the top priority.

  First, vigorously train and use strategic scientists.

"Those who command the army will have the power; those who win and lose are all too." Strategic scientists are scientific talents, and they are a "key minority" among the national strategic talents.

At present, the world has entered the era of big science. The complexity, system, and synergy of scientific research have increased significantly, and the importance of strategic scientists has become increasingly prominent.

  Where do strategic scientists come from?

In the final analysis, it must emerge from the main battlefield of technological innovation and grow from the main force of technological innovation.

It is necessary to adhere to the practice standards and find scientists with deep scientific literacy, long-term struggle in the front line of scientific research, broad vision, forward-looking judgment, interdisciplinary understanding ability, and strong corps combat organization leadership ability among the leaders of major national scientific and technological tasks. .

We must adhere to a long-term perspective, consciously discover and cultivate more high-level compound talents with the potential of strategic scientists, and form a growth echelon of strategic scientists.

The party and the state should strengthen and improve the leadership and guidance of major national scientific research projects.

  Second, build a large number of first-class technology leaders and innovative teams.

It is necessary to establish a special deployment mechanism for "stuck neck" key core technology talents, formulate and implement special action plans, mobilize leading talents across departments, regions, industries, and systems, and form a team for the challenge.

The role of the national team of national laboratories, national scientific research institutions, high-level research universities, and leading technology companies should be brought into full play to accelerate the gathering and focus on supporting first-class leading technology talents and innovative teams.

It is necessary to organize production-university-research collaborative research around key national areas and key industries, and cultivate talents in major scientific research tasks.

It is necessary to optimize the leading talent discovery mechanism and project team selection mechanism, explore new project organization methods, implement special policies for leading talents with supporting talent echelon, supporting scientific research conditions, and supporting management mechanisms, and accelerate breakthroughs in key core technologies for "stuck necks".

  Third, create a large-scale team of young scientific and technological talents.

Young talents are the source of the power of national strategic talents.

Studies have shown that the best age group for natural scientists to invent and create is 25 to 45 years old.

my country’s young talents in science and technology have problems such as few opportunities for leadership, narrow growth channels, and high pressure in life.

Young talents put too much energy into job title evaluation, project declaration, and "hat" competition. There are still many practical difficulties in salary, housing, and children's enrollment.

It is necessary to focus on the policy of cultivating the power of national strategic talents on young talents in science and technology, give them more trust, better help, and stronger support, and support young talents to take the lead and play the leading role.

All kinds of talent training and introduction support programs should be tilted toward young talents, expand the scale of support, and optimize support methods.

It is necessary to pay attention to solving the practical difficulties faced by young scientific and technological talents, so that young scientific and technological talents can settle down, feel at ease, and work safely.

It is necessary to improve the entire chain of training system for outstanding young talents, organize the implementation of the continuous training plan for outstanding college graduates, select high-level mentors from universities, scientific research institutes, and enterprises, and assign high-end talent training tasks.

  Fourth, train a large number of outstanding engineers.

The manufacturing industry is the foundation of our country and the foundation of a strong country.

my country is the only country in the world that has all industrial categories. At the same time, my country's manufacturing industry is still at the middle and low end of the global value chain. Many industries face the problem of insufficient number of engineers and low quality.

It is necessary to explore the formation of a world-class engineer training system with Chinese characteristics, and strive to build a team of engineers who love the party and serve the country, are dedicated to their work, have outstanding technological innovation capabilities, and are good at solving complex engineering problems.

From September 16 to 18, 2020, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited Hunan.

This was the afternoon of the 17th. Xi Jinping was investigating and investigating the Yuelu Academy of Hunan University to learn about talent training and cultural inheritance.

  To train outstanding engineers, it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of universities and enterprises.

Colleges and universities should deepen the reform of engineering education, increase the training of science and engineering talents, and explore effective mechanisms for the joint training of high-quality and compound engineering talents by universities and enterprises.

This should be an important task for colleges and universities, especially for the construction of "double first-class" universities.

Enterprises should move the training link forward, work with universities to design training goals, formulate training plans, implement training processes, implement the school-enterprise "dual tutor system", achieve deep integration of production, education and research, and solve the outstanding problem of the disconnection between engineering and technical personnel training and production practice .

5. All-round cultivation, introduction and good use of talents

  "Water accumulates and fishes gather, and woods grow stronger and birds gather." We must anchor the long-term goal of becoming one of the top innovative countries and building a talented country by 2035, and make great efforts to cultivate, introduce and make good use of talents in an all-round way.

  First, take the road of self-cultivation of talents.

Training talents is a long-term development plan for the country and nation. The competition for talents in the world today is first and foremost the competition for talent cultivation.

China is a big country, and the demand for the quantity, quality, and structure of talents is all-round. To meet such a huge demand for talents, we must mainly rely on our own training and improve the ability of independent and controllable talent supply.

my country has the world's largest higher education system and a broad stage for the development of various undertakings. It is fully capable of continuously cultivating a large number of outstanding talents and masters.

We must have such determination and such confidence!

From August 19 to 22, 2019, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission visited Gansu.

This is the afternoon of the 20th. Xi Jinping watched vocational skills training and had a cordial exchange with teachers and students in the modern manufacturing technology training room of Shandan Peili School in Zhangye City.

  Talent training must first focus on solving the problem of insufficient number and low quality of basic research talents.

Universities, especially “double first-class” universities, must play their role as the main force in cultivating basic research talents, plan the training of basic disciplines in all directions, break through conventions, innovate models, and pay more attention to the cultivation and education of scientific spirit, innovative ability, and critical thinking.

It is necessary to build a batch of training bases for basic disciplines, attract the best students who are determined to devote themselves to basic research, and increase the training of major original innovative talents.

It is necessary to establish an interdisciplinary development guidance mechanism and cultivate high-level compound talents.

It is necessary to formulate and implement special projects for basic research talents, and to support a group of young talents who have made outstanding achievements in the field of natural sciences and have obvious innovation potential for a long time.

  To build a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way, it is necessary to cultivate a large number of talents in various fields, including philosophers, social scientists, and literary artists.

In recent years, my country's philosophy, social sciences, literature and art talents have continued to grow, their quality has been continuously improved, and their structure has been continuously optimized. However, there are still many problems.

It is necessary to cultivate a group of talents who are good at thinking and studying Chinese issues, based on the social changes and innovative practices that contemporary China is experiencing, discover new problems, put forward new views, construct new theories, promote the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and answer China well. The question of why the Communist Party can, why does Marxism practice, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good.

It is necessary to train and cultivate a group of talents who are good at spreading Chinese excellent culture, make Chinese voices, tell Chinese stories well, and continuously improve international communication influence, Chinese cultural appeal, Chinese image affinity, Chinese discourse persuasiveness and international public opinion guidance.

It is necessary to study and formulate talent development plans for philosophy, social sciences, literature and art, and provide solid talent support for the construction of philosophy, social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art.

  Second, increase the opening up of talents to the outside world.

Emphasizing the independent training of talents does not mean self-isolation.

We must strengthen the international exchange of talents in light of the new situation, adhere to a global vision and world-class level, and do everything possible to introduce top talents that can be used by me, so that more global intelligent resources and innovative elements can be used by me.

The opening up of talents to the outside world is two-way, and it is necessary not only to bring in, but also to go out.

It is necessary to adopt a variety of methods to open up new ways for talents to go out and cultivate, diversify talent training channels, and reserve more talents.

  Third, make good use of all kinds of talents.

To deal with special talents who are in urgent need, we must have special policies that do not require full blame, do not judge seniority, and do not use a ruler to measure talents with real talents.

It is necessary to establish a trust-based talent utilization mechanism, allow failures and tolerate failures, improve the scientific research organization system based on scientists, improve the scientific research tasks "exposing the leader" and "horse racing" system, implement a goal-oriented "military order" system, and encourage scientific and technological leadership The talent is in command.

It is necessary to build a platform for all kinds of talents to start their own business, and to build a profit distribution mechanism that fully reflects the value of innovative elements such as knowledge and technology, so that careers can inspire talents and talents can make careers.

  Here, I want to particularly emphasize that doing a good job of talent work must adhere to the correct political direction, continuously strengthen and improve the work of intellectuals, encourage talents to have a deep patriotism, aspirations to serve the country, and take the initiative to shoulder the mission and responsibilities given by the times.

The vast number of talents must inherit and carry forward the excellent qualities of the older generation of scientists who have the motherland in mind and serve the people, and have the "big nation" in mind, to share worries for the country, solve problems for the country, and perform responsibilities for the country.

It is necessary to optimize the talent recognition and reward system, increase the promotion of advanced models, and promote the formation of a trend of respecting talents in the whole society.

  Party committees (party groups) at all levels must improve the unified leadership of party committees, organizational departments taking the lead in the overall leadership, functional departments performing their duties, closely cooperating with each other, and extensive participation of social forces in the talent work pattern.

Under the leadership of the party committee, the organization departments of the party committees at all levels must coordinate and advance major measures for talent work.

All regions and departments must base themselves on reality, highlight key points, and solve practical problems that are strongly reflected by talents.

It is necessary to improve the diversified talent investment mechanism of the government, society, and units, increase investment in talent development, and improve the efficiency of talent investment.

Propaganda departments of party committees at all levels, and departments of education, science and technology, industry and information, security, human resources, cultural and tourism, state-owned assets, finance, foreign affairs and other departments must give full play to their functions and work together to implement various tasks for talent work.
