Looking forward to the 15th Five Year Plan, China will adhere to illuminating the path of development with the light of innovation, promote international scientific and technological innovation cooperation with a more open mind, and make greater contributions to the development and progress of human society. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to accelerate high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and lead the development of new quality productive forces. This major deployment, focusing on the foundation of long-term power, reflects the CPC's profound insight into the nature and laws of innovation, and highlights China's strategic determination to comprehensively shape new advantages for development through scientific and technological innovation. It will not only inject surging momentum into Chinese path to modernization, but also bring more opportunities for mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation between China and other countries. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China took bold steps towards innovation led development. In 2024, the total R&D investment in society will exceed 3.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 48% compared to 2020; The national comprehensive innovation capability ranking has risen from 14th to 10th place; The rapid rise of cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, new energy, and biotechnology is forming new economic growth points. From the launch of the Shenzhou spacecraft and the Tianyan cruise, to the commercial operation of domestically produced large aircraft C919 and large domestic cruise ships, one innovative achievement after another reflects the solid steps of technological self-reliance and self-improvement. China's position in the global innovation map is becoming increasingly important. As evaluated by Almeida, the Minister of Economy and Land Integration of Portugal, China's achievements in innovation in recent years are remarkable and an important force in promoting global technological innovation. Chinese path to modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology. One of the main goals of economic and social development during the 15th Five Year Plan period is to significantly improve the level of technological self-reliance and self-improvement, achieve rapid breakthroughs in key core technologies in key areas, and deeply integrate technological innovation and industrial innovation. Cultivating development advantages through technological innovation is a strategic choice for China to focus on the overall situation and face the future. Currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening. Whoever takes the lead in innovation will have the initiative to lead development. In the next five years, China will coordinate the construction of a strong education country, a strong science and technology country, and a strong talent country, enhance the overall efficiency of the national innovation system, comprehensively strengthen independent innovation capabilities, seize the high ground of scientific and technological development, and continuously generate new quality productivity. Focusing on innovative system planning and clear deployment, it effectively enhances the confidence of all parties in China's development prospects. In the view of UN Deputy Secretary General Guy Ryder, China's technological innovation is not only reflected in breakthroughs, but also in the comprehensive formation of innovation momentum. China, which has entered the "innovation explosion period", is reshaping the world's technological landscape. Technological innovation is an important force for humanity to jointly address risks and challenges, promote peace and development. China has always adhered to the principle of opening up and cooperating in science and technology to benefit humanity, and continues to contribute wisdom and strength to addressing global challenges. China has established scientific and technological cooperation relationships with more than 160 countries and regions, reached 119 scientific and technological agreements between Chinese and foreign governments, proposed the Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative, released international scientific and technological cooperation initiatives, and led the launch of the Open Science International Cooperation Initiative... China's role in global scientific and technological governance is increasing day by day. Artificial intelligence companies are deeply exploring and adhering to an open and open-source technology roadmap, while electric vehicle giant BYD is opening up and sharing its core technology to the entire industry... While exploring technological breakthroughs, Chinese companies continue to promote mutual benefit and sharing of innovative technologies, empowering global inclusive development. While accelerating innovation, China will build a globally competitive open environment for scientific and technological innovation, promote international cooperation in scientific and technological innovation at a higher level, and ensure that the achievements of scientific and technological innovation benefit more countries and people. Chinese path to modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology, and high-quality development depends on scientific and technological innovation to cultivate new momentum. Looking forward to the 15th Five Year Plan, China will adhere to illuminating the path of development with the light of innovation, promote international scientific and technological innovation cooperation with a more open mind, and make greater contributions to the development and progress of human society.
