This year, we promoted innovation to release greater dividends
In a blink of an eye, another year, the pace of 2022 is getting closer and closer.
Although the haze of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has not completely disappeared, we still have the greatest confidence and are ready to welcome the dawn of victory at any time.
"Academic misconduct" is not awarded degrees, the platform economy is strengthened, the seed law is revised again, and the "Personal Information Protection Law" is officially implemented... This year, "thunder methods" frequently appeared at the national level, escorting the vigorous innovation momentum.
And through events such as Yuan Longping's vibrato account being popular, and retired professors suing CNKI to win the lawsuit, we have seen the rise of individual innovation consciousness and the acceleration of innovation momentum.
The "2021 Global Innovation Index Report" released by the World Intellectual Property Organization shows that my country's innovation capability has a strong momentum, and the global ranking has risen steadily for 9 consecutive years.
Innovation does not stop, hope is the first.
This is the charm of a big country.
Yuan Longping's Douyin account is sought after
Chasing stars is chasing the "brightest star" in science
At 7 pm on January 10th, the number of fans of the Douyin account "Yuan Longping Chinese Pioneers" exceeded the 10 million mark, and the number of fans increased at a rate of 300,000 in 10 minutes, leaving a large number of Internet celebrity accounts behind.
At this time, it was only one day since this account logged into the Douyin short video platform.
It is rare for an old scientist's Douyin account to get such attention on social platforms.
Although Douyin officials quickly banned the account due to disputes over the account, this phenomenon has attracted widespread social attention.
Yuan Longping's popularity has long since been a day or two.
In September 2019, Yuan Longping participated in the opening ceremony of Hunan Agricultural University. Tens of thousands of students turned into "fans" to welcome them. With warm applause and cheers, they expressed their love for scientist idols. The campus "second change" giant star chasing scene.
After his death, the people knelt and wept bitterly to bid farewell, and there was a voice of mourning across the country.
Being so loved by the people is not unrelated to Yuan Longping's tremendous scientific achievements, but it also reflects the people's attention and expectation for my country's scientific and technological self-reliance.
With Yuan Longping, my country's food security has a solid foundation.
It can be said that Yuan Longping is a representative of thousands of scientific and technological workers who are dedicated to the forefront of scientific and technological innovation, and is also a benchmark figure of innovation and self-reliance in my country's seed industry.
Star chasing is to chase the "brightest star" in the scientific world.
A nation that pursues scientists must have a bright future.
"Academic misconduct" will not grant a degree
Thunder means "nowhere to escape" for anomie
In March, the Ministry of Education issued an announcement to solicit public opinions on the draft degree law.
The draft proposes that if a degree applicant has academic misconduct or falsification during the study period of the degree-granting unit and in the process of degree application, peer review, and defense, the degree evaluation committee may make a decision not to award his degree.
In addition, for those who have obtained a degree and are found to have serious plagiarism, forgery, plagiarism, data falsification and other academic misconducts in their dissertations or practical results, the degree-granting unit shall revoke the degree, withdraw or announce the degree after the deliberation and decision of the degree evaluation committee The certificate is invalid.
In recent years, the problem of academic misconduct has been criticized by the society. It is like a malignant tumor, which not only poisons the social atmosphere, damages academic reputation, but also severely weakens the independent innovation ability of the entire society.
"You have the disease in your mind, and if you die, you will be afraid of it." This was the early diagnosis when Bian Que met Cai Huangong. Unfortunately, Cai Huangong didn't pay attention to it and eventually died.
Today, the harm of academic misconduct to society cannot be ignored either.
While we are clamoring for the return of academic integrity, we should also dare to use thunderous methods to severely punish academic misconduct, so that anomie has nowhere to escape.
Strengthen supervision of the platform economy
Only by hanging sharp swords can the platform economy be stable and far-reaching
On March 15, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the ninth meeting of the Central Committee of Finance and Economics that my country’s platform economy is at a critical period. It is necessary to focus on the long-term, take into account the current situation, make up for shortcomings, strengthen weaknesses, create an innovative environment, and solve outstanding problems. Contradictions and problems promote the healthy and sustainable development of the platform economy.
The important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping fully affirmed the status and role of the platform economy in the overall economic and social development, deeply analyzed the problems and risks in the development of the platform economy, pointed out the direction for the high-quality development of the platform economy, and was important for the construction of national competition. New advantages and enhancing people’s well-being are of great and far-reaching significance.
In recent years, the booming Internet platform has played a significant role in promoting economic transformation and providing convenience to the people’s lives.
At the same time, the "double-edged sword" characteristics of the platform economy have become more prominent.
The problems of big data, compulsory "choice of two", infringement of user privacy, monopoly price increase, and disorderly expansion of capital have become increasingly apparent, which not only disrupts the market order, but also destroys the innovation environment.
It is imperative to strengthen supervision.
my country's anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies have investigated and dealt with many cases of Internet platform abuse of market dominance, covering areas such as e-commerce and food delivery.
Only by suspending the sharp sword of supervision and preventing the barbaric growth of capital can we better maintain the market order of fair competition, and allow the private economy to fully flow in innovation and creative vitality.
With the continuous improvement of my country's Internet governance system, the platform economy is bound to usher in greater development opportunities and will better serve high-quality development and high-quality life.
Science popularization work has a new roadmap
Popular science needs to transform to "precise drip irrigation"
On June 25, the State Council issued the "National Science Literacy Action Plan (2021-2035)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Outline"), which laid out a new road map for my country's science popularization and scientific literacy construction.
The "Outline" clarifies the general goal of improving citizens' scientific literacy in the next 15 years: by 2025, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy will exceed 15%; by 2035, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy will reach 25%.
Improving scientific quality is of great significance for citizens to establish a scientific worldview and methodology, for strengthening the country's independent innovation capability and cultural soft power, and for building a modern and powerful socialist country.
The results of the eleventh Chinese citizens’ scientific literacy sample survey conducted in 2020 show that the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy has reached 10.56%, which is a significant increase from the 3.27% in 2010.
However, in recent years, the issue of citizen scientific literacy has also shown a trend of complexity: on the one hand, citizens’ scientific knowledge has increased, on the other hand, there are many fans of “pseudoscience” such as the rebirth of boiled eggs and high-tech fortune-telling.
In order to better solve the current problems in the scientific literacy of citizens and promote the scientific literacy of citizens to a new level, the "Outline" changed the past "overflow irrigation" science popularization to "precision drip irrigation" science popularization, and proposed targeted measures to make up for the shortcomings. Earnestly implement the five scientific quality improvement actions and five key projects.
Under the knowledge shortage mode, the traditional science popularization mode that mainly popularizes scientific knowledge should be transformed into a science communication mode that comprehensively enhances scientific quality and promotes the all-round development of citizens.
Only by fundamentally building a global and full-time scientific quality construction system with diverse subjects, diverse means, high-quality supplies, and effective mechanisms, can a high-quality innovation army be formed, promote the rapid transfer and transformation of science and technology, and truly lead economic and social development with science .
Seed Law welcomes revision
Solve the problem of seed homogeneity from the source
On August 17, the 30th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress opened in Beijing, and the draft amendment to the Seed Law was submitted to the conference for deliberation.
In order to encourage the original innovation of breeding and solve the serious problem of seed homogeneity from the source, the revised draft establishes a system of substantive derived varieties, clarifying that substantive derived varieties can apply for new plant variety rights and obtain authorization, but they are for commercial purposes. When using it, the consent of the owner of the new plant variety right of the original variety shall be obtained.
Of the 77 members of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, 68 have implemented this system.
In recent years, there have been many approved varieties of major food crops in my country, but there are few breakthrough varieties and the problem of homogeneity is more prominent. One of the main reasons is that there are more modified varieties. The modification and improvement of the core parent resulted in a narrow genetic basis for the variety.
If this situation does not change, it will be difficult to adapt to the new situation of strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights of new plant varieties, encouraging original innovation in breeding, and ensuring food security.
This amendment means that the protection of new plant variety rights has gone from "fringe" to gradually establishing a substantive derivative variety system and rising to the legal level.
In the past 20 years, after many revisions and adjustments, the seed law is constantly improving, escorting the independent innovation of my country's seed industry.
Seeds are the basis of agricultural modernization, but the independent innovation of my country's seed industry is far behind that of developed countries.
In 2021, the No. 1 document of the central government proposes to enhance the ability to guarantee the supply of grain and important agricultural products, and fight for the seed industry to turn around.
The establishment of a commercialized breeding system to enhance the independent innovation capability of the seed industry requires the improvement of the intellectual property protection system for seed research and development. This is the key to "a good fight for the seed industry".
my country's innovation index rises by 2 places
The ranking has risen steadily for 9 consecutive years
On September 20, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) released the "2021 Global Innovation Index Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). China ranked 12th, up 2 places from 2020.
The "Report" spoke highly of China's progress in innovation and emphasized the importance of government decision-making and incentive measures to promote innovation.
Since 2013, my country's global innovation index ranking has risen steadily for 9 consecutive years, with a strong upward momentum, ranking first among middle-income economies.
WIPO began to publish the Global Innovation Index in 2007. It has become an international authoritative report on the level of innovation and intellectual property rights. It has strong objectivity and is highly concerned by the international community.
From the perspectives of innovation input and innovation output, the "Report" adopts 81 indicators in seven categories, including policy environment, human capital and research, infrastructure, market maturity, business maturity, knowledge and technology output, and creative output. , To systematically measure the comprehensive innovation capabilities of 132 economies around the world.
The "Report" shows that from the perspective of innovation investment, China's trade, competition and market size, and knowledge workers are all in the world's leading position. The average expenditure of the top three global R&D companies and the average score of the top three universities are , The development of industrial clusters, the proportion of total capital formation in GDP, and the proportion of enterprise R&D investment are ranked high.
This shows that China has taken more measures to promote industry-university-research cooperation, develop characteristic industries, and strengthen and optimize the real economy, creating a better environment for enterprise innovation and development.
From the perspective of innovation output, China's advantages are concentrated in intangible assets, knowledge creation, and knowledge influence.
Among them, domestic patent and trademark applications, and the proportion of creative product exports in total trade and other sub-indices have achieved global leadership.
In 2021, the broad index of knowledge dissemination has made significant progress. In particular, the segmented index of the proportion of intellectual property revenue in total trade has continued to improve, indicating that China is gradually transforming from a large country of intellectual property introduction to a large country of intellectual property creation.
"Personal Information Protection Law" is officially implemented
Build a comprehensive personal information "protection network"
Since November 1, the "Personal Information Protection Law" has been formally implemented. This is a special law to protect citizens’ personal information. The Law on the Protection of Rights and Interests of the People’s Republic of China and other laws jointly woven into a "protection net" of personal information.
With the continuous in-depth integration of informatization and economic society, the network has become a new space for production and life, a new engine for economic development, and a new link for exchanges and cooperation.
As of December 2020, my country’s Internet users have reached 989 million, with more than 4.43 million Internet websites, and more than 3.45 million applications. The collection and use of personal information has become more extensive.
Although the protection of personal information in our country has been increasing in recent years, in real life, some enterprises, institutions and even individuals, based on commercial interests, randomly collect, illegally acquire, excessively use, illegally buy and sell personal information, and use personal information to invade the people. Issues such as the peace of life of the masses and endangering the lives and health of the masses and the safety of their property are still very prominent.
In the Internet age, the protection of personal information has become one of the most concerned, most direct and practical interests of the people.
The "Personal Information Protection Law" adheres to and implements the people-centered rule of law. It establishes the principle of personal information protection, prohibits "big data", strictly protects sensitive personal information, assigns special obligations to large-scale network platforms, and regulates cross-border personal information. In terms of circulation and improvement of the personal information protection working mechanism, the relevant rules for personal information protection and the rights and obligations of all relevant parties have been clarified, and a personal information protection network has been constructed in an all-round way.
Retired professor sued CNKI
The copyright statement is not a "shield" for platform infringement
In early December, Zhao Dexin, a retired professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, sued CNKI for infringement and received a compensation of 700,000 yuan.
In a sense, this infringement lawsuit has exposed to a certain extent the legal risks of the current way of operating most journals.
From a legal perspective, unilateral copyright declarations made by journals when receiving papers cannot be a "shield" for infringement.
According to the copyright law, once an author submits a manuscript to a journal, it means that the author has agreed to use his paper. The journal may not sign a written agreement with the author, but obtain the right to disseminate the paper on the website of the institution. This does not mean that the journal obtains a sub-authorization. , If the paper is disseminated on other websites, the author’s consent is still required, and unilateral copyright statements do not have legal effect.
On the evening of December 10, CNKI released the "Explanation on Issues Related to "Professor Zhao Dexin Sueding China CNKI and Obtaining Compensation" on its WeChat public account, which is the electronic magazine "China Academic Journals (CD-ROM)" as the operator of CNKI Co., Ltd. publicly "expressed sincere apologies to Professor Zhao Dexin", and proposed to face the problem squarely, solve the problem, and properly handle the problem of the continued dissemination of Professor Zhao Dexin's work on the CNKI platform.
On December 22, the "China Knowledge Network Membership Standard Table" on CNKI's official website showed that the download fees for master's and doctoral dissertations are now 7.5 yuan/book and 9.5 yuan/book respectively, which is different from the previous one. Compared with the price, the price dropped by 50% and 62% respectively.
The positive significance of the case is that, on the one hand, it promotes large platforms to assume corporate social responsibility and sets an example in the protection of intellectual property rights; on the other hand, it allows better protection of knowledge on the premise of balancing personal rights and public interests. Property rights have become a social issue that everyone cares about.
Over 2.6 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccination nationwide
my country is expected to reach herd immunity standards by the end of the year
More than 2.69 billion doses of new crown vaccination nationwide, and more than 1.19 billion people completed the entire vaccination process-the latest news from the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council shows that the vaccination rate in my country has reached more than 80%.
Building a strong immune barrier for the population is the fundamental strategy to overcome the epidemic.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has resisted the epidemic with resolute courage and determination, scientifically and accurately, and has always practiced the concept of "people first, life first", and joined hands to build a community with a shared future for mankind to overcome the difficulties.
This is a prevention and control strategy that puts the protection of people’s health in the most prominent position-from high-risk, key populations to the general population, from the elderly over 60 to children aged 3 to 11, China has completed the new crown vaccination in more than a year. The number of people is the largest in the world, and the vaccination rate is among the highest in the world.
This is an all-round race against the rapidly spreading and mutating new coronavirus-large-scale vaccination helps control the chain of virus transmission in a shorter time, effectively reducing severe and death cases...
At present, the domestic epidemic situation is spreading at multiple points and local outbreaks. Some provinces and cities have discovered a variant of the new crown virus "Omi Keron", which makes the situation of epidemic prevention and control more severe and complicated.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the flow of people intensifies, which will bring greater challenges to the prevention and control of the epidemic.
The good news is that according to the current vaccination schedule, my country is expected to meet herd immunity standards before the end of this year.
Chinese forces have built the "Great Wall of Immunity" to fight the epidemic.
