Making China a Country of Innovators
Innovation is the primary driving force behind development; it is the strategic underpinning for building a modernized economy.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China has made remarkable progress in implementing its strategy for innovation-driven development, raising the contribution of science and technology to economic growth from 52.2 percent in 2012 to 57.5 percent in 2017, and boosting a structural shift and industrial upgrading.
The report to the 19th CPC National Congress emphasized that China should aim for the frontiers of science and technology, strengthen basic research, and make major breakthroughs in pioneering basic research and groundbreaking and original innovations. China will strengthen basic research in applied sciences, launch major national science and technology projects, and prioritize innovation in key generic technologies, cutting-edge frontier technologies, modern engineering technologies, and disruptive technologies. These efforts will provide powerful support for building China’s strength in science and technology, product quality, aerospace, cyberspace, and transportation; and for building a digital China and a smart society.
China will improve its national innovation system and boost its strategic scientific and technological strength. It will further reform the management system for science and technology, and develop a market-oriented system for technological innovation in which enterprises are the main players and synergy is created through the joint efforts of enterprises, universities, and research institutes. It will support innovation by small and medium-sized enterprises and encourage the application of advances in science and technology.
China will foster a culture of innovation, and strengthen the creation, protection, and application of intellectual property. It should cultivate a large number of world-class scientists and technologists in strategically important fields, scientific and technological leaders, and young scientists and engineers, as well as high-performing innovation teams.
