科技领域，中国开放的大门只会越开越大

嫦娥六号月球背面“挖土”，中国“天眼”远望黑洞“脉搏”，九章三号求解高斯玻色取样数学问题比超级计算机快一亿亿倍……

近几年，中国在科技领域的突破、创新数不胜数，面对“小院高墙”，面对“脱钩”“去风险”，中国科技工作者一次次用亮眼成绩彰显了实力。古语有云，“合则强，孤则弱”。中国也一次次用更加积极开放的姿态拥抱科技，拥抱世界：嫦娥六号着陆器携带了欧空局的月表负离子分析仪、法国的月球氡气探测仪和意大利的激光角反射器。

那么，在科技领域，中国是否将出台更大力度的开放政策？如何解决基础创新能力不足问题？如何因地制宜发展新质生产力？

中国科学技术发展战略研究院党委书记刘冬梅解答了这些问题。

At the national level, we have always emphasized on following a path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics, and accelerating high-level technological self-reliance and strength.

Simultaneously, our national development strategy has repeatedly stressed that emphasizing independent innovation and technological self-reliance does not mean isolating ourselves. Technological self-reliance and openness are not contradictory but mutually reinforcing.

The 20th Party Congress report states that China adheres to the basic policy of opening-up and firmly pursues a win-win strategy.

A more vivid analogy of the equation between self-reliance and open innovation is that of individuals: The stronger you become, the higher your social and professional circles and platforms, which is beneficial for your personal development.

I believe everyone will witness China introducing more vigorous policies for opening-up in the technology sector in the future.

We aim to enhance original innovation capabilities and encourage researchers to undertake more forward-looking and risky work in basic and applied research.

In the future, special attention should be paid to the selection of non-consensus projects. Creating an environment that encourages innovation and tolerates failure is crucial for researchers. This allows researchers to engage in long-term studies and achieve substantial breakthroughs.

A tolerant environment is an essential external condition for conducting fundamental research.

From the demand side, we should strengthen the primary role of enterprises in technological innovation. Enterprises should fully act as question setters, solvers, and evaluators. 

Enterprises are the ones truly immersed in the market, understanding customer needs and having a keen sense of technology. They accurately grasp industry trends, so we must continually strengthen their primary role in technological innovation.

They should propose technical needs and collaborate with universities and research institutes — the main forces in national R&D — to solve problems. Evaluation will show if enterprises can smoothly apply the solutions.

Thus, utilizing enterprises and letting the market allocate tech innovation resources can improve the efficiency of utilizing tech outcomes.

We should establish a networked layout of regional innovation, supported by several nationally influential technology innovation centers and supplemented by several regional innovation centers. This should guide and support the development of new quality productive forces through tech innovation.

Currently, our focus is on three international tech innovation centers: Beijing, Shanghai, and the Greater Bay Area, which have unparalleled advantages in tech resources and strength.

They should explore more in the field of future industries and strategic emerging industries. They should seize the tech high ground to plan more possibilities for new quality productive forces.

Regional innovation centers should integrate local practices, applying and transforming existing technologies to promote the upgrade of traditional and strategic industries.

By leveraging the leading, driving and radiating roles of various levels of innovation centers, the nation can promote the development of new quality productive forces through tech innovation. Tailored approaches will enhance the role of tech innovation in developing new quality productive forces.
