On the evening of the 25th, the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum kicked off in Beijing, and General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter. This is the third time that the Zhongguancun Forum has received congratulations from General Secretary Xi Jinping.
In 2019 and 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent congratulations in congratulatory letters and videos respectively. Ten years ago, in September 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the comrades of the Politburo of the Central Committee out of Zhongnanhai and moved the "classroom" of collective learning to Zhongguancun.
Three congratulations and one group study clarified a judgment, conveyed an attitude, and emphasized a requirement.
One judgment - innovation and development, win-win cooperation is the general trend
In his congratulatory letter in 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is developing in depth, and mankind needs international cooperation and openness and sharing more than ever to solve the problem of common development." ”
These are challenging times, but also times of hope. In the unprecedented changes in a century, scientific and technological innovation is one of the key variables.
"The whole party and the whole society must fully understand the great role of scientific and technological innovation and keenly grasp the development trend of scientific and technological innovation in the world," General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed in a collective study by the Politburo in September 2013, "promoting independent innovation from a higher starting point, and working together with the international scientific and technological community to make due contributions to addressing common global challenges."
Promote innovation through cooperation, promote development with innovation, and solve problems with development.
In his congratulations to the Zhongguancun Forum in 2019 and 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping elaborated on this judgment in depth:
"A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating evolution, and innovation and development and win-win cooperation are the general trend."
"At present, the world's unprecedented changes in a century are accelerating evolution, the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is widespread and far-reaching, and the world economic recovery is facing severe challenges, and all countries in the world need to strengthen open cooperation in science and technology, jointly explore ways and methods to solve important global issues through scientific and technological innovation, jointly cope with the challenges of the times, and jointly promote the noble cause of peace and development of mankind."
One attitude – sharing the fruits of innovation and development with countries around the world
In 2023, it was pointed out that "China firmly pursues a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, and is willing to work with other countries to promote scientific and technological innovation and promote science and technology to better benefit the people of all countries";
In 2021, it was pointed out that "China attaches great importance to scientific and technological innovation, is committed to promoting global scientific and technological innovation collaboration, will strengthen international scientific and technological exchanges with a more open attitude, and actively participate in the global innovation network";
In 2019, it was pointed out that "China is willing to actively participate in global innovation cooperation, share innovative development achievements with other countries in the world, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind";
In 2013, it emphasized "promoting independent innovation from a higher starting point, and working together with the international scientific and technological community to make due contributions to addressing global common challenges";
......
Just as the theme of this year's Zhongguancun Forum, "Openness, Cooperation and Sharing the Future" is China's consistent attitude.
China cannot do without the world, and the world cannot do without China.
On the one hand, strengthening international scientific and technological innovation cooperation in an all-round way, integrating more actively into the global innovation network, and improving one's own scientific and technological innovation capabilities in open cooperation can inject more source living water into innovation-driven development.
On the other hand, the world is facing various challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic. Strengthening scientific and technological innovation and cooperation, and promoting more open, inclusive, mutually beneficial and shared international scientific and technological innovation exchanges will make scientific and technological innovation achievements accessible, enjoyed and used by more countries and people.
One requirement – to create the world's leading science and technology parks and innovation highlands
If a country wants to be strong and prosperous, it must vigorously develop science and technology and strive to become a major scientific center and innovation highland in the world.
As one of the most dynamic innovation highlands in China and a business card of China's innovation and development, Zhongguancun has high expectations.
From a field and an electronic street to China's first national independent innovation demonstration zone, Zhongguancun has continuously extended its innovation blueprint in open cooperation, based on Beijing, radiating the whole country and connecting the world.
In the past ten years, Zhongguancun has entered the fast lane of accelerated development, with an average of about 270 enterprises settling and born here in one day, a number of innovative achievements breaking ground, and many "world's firsts" have followed.
In 2019, it was pointed out that "Zhongguancun is striving to build a world-leading science and technology park and innovation highland";
In 2021, it was pointed out that "China supports Zhongguancun to carry out a new round of pilot reform and accelerate the construction of a world-leading science and technology park";
In 2023, it will be pointed out that "Zhongguancun will continue to promote the pilot reform and further accelerate the construction of the world's leading science and technology park";
......
To build a world-leading science and technology park and innovation highland, the general secretary's requirements for Zhongguancun contain a long-term plan for the development of China's scientific and technological innovation.
From the relevant statements of the 2021nd meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensive Deepening Reform in November 11, one can read the mission of Zhongguancun.
The meeting deliberated and adopted the "Several Measures to Support the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone to Carry out High-level Scientific and Technological Self-reliance, Self-improvement and Pilot Reform".
The meeting emphasized that "it is necessary to aim at the most prominent shortcomings and the most urgent tasks of achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, seek breakthroughs and innovations in strengthening the main body of innovation, gathering innovation elements, and optimizing innovation mechanisms" and "play the role of pilot breakthrough and stress test, actively explore realistic paths to solve problems, and pay attention to accumulating experience in prevention, control and risk resolution".
Shouldering the mission, Zhongguancun continues to write a legendary story.
Sharing the future, China and the world move forward hand in hand.
