Drawing the Power of Promoting Science and Technology Self-reliance and Self-improvement from the History of the Party

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the celebration of the 100 anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that in the new journey, we must base ourselves on the new development stage, completely, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and promote scientific and technological self-reliance. In the various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, our party has attached great importance to the cause of science and technology and led the people to unremittingly explore the path of scientific and technological development in line with my country's national conditions and reality. The glorious course and valuable experience accumulated by our party in promoting the development of scientific and technological innovation have demonstrated the firm determination and responsibility of the party in its unremitting pursuit of scientific and technological self-reliance.

The century-old history of our party is a history of attaching great importance to scientific and technological undertakings, caring for scientific and technological talents, and building an innovative country on its own. In 1938, the first scientific and technological group, the National Defense Science Society of the Border Region, was established. In 1940, the first science and engineering university "Natural Science Academy" was created. During the War of Liberation, the party's scientific and technological undertakings continued to develop, and scientific and technological work gradually changed from temporary and emergency work to a long-term and stable work. During this period, a large number of scientific and technological achievements were made and a large number of business experts were cultivated. Shortly after the founding of New China, the CPC Central Committee held a national conference on intellectual issues, issued a call to "march into science," sounded the clarion call for the great development of modern science and technology in China, established and improved scientific and technological management institutions and research institutions such as the State Science and Technology Commission, the China Association for Science and Technology, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, formulated plans for scientific and technological development, and developed scientific and technological undertakings on a large scale while leading economic construction. After the reform and opening up, through a series of measures such as convening a national science conference and implementing the national high-tech research and development plan, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and the strategy of strengthening the country with talents have been implemented, and the construction of the national innovation system has been strengthened. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has strengthened its overall leadership of science and technology, comprehensively implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, built a world science and technology power, put innovation at the top of the five development concepts, and insisted on putting scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development Position, comprehensively plan scientific and technological innovation work.

Our party's exploration of the theory and practice of scientific and technological innovation has undergone a process of continuous deepening. In the early days of the founding of New China, the guiding ideology of "relying on intellectuals to build a better country" was put forward, which stimulated the political enthusiasm and work enthusiasm of intellectuals and scientific and technological workers, and played an important role in promoting the establishment of my country's modern science and technology system. In the 1960 s and 1970 s, a series of major scientific and technological achievements such as "two bombs and one satellite", synthetic bovine insulin, and hybrid rice were made, making important contributions to the development of national science and technology. With the development of reform and opening up, the important conclusion that "science and technology are the primary productive forces" is put forward, which reveals the important position and role of science and technology in the formation and development of productive forces under the conditions of the new technological revolution. Under the guidance of this theory, the reform of the scientific and technological system has accurately grasped the general trend of international scientific and technological development, changed the relatively closed and rigid operation mode in the past, and brought my country's science and technology into a new stage of rapid and high-quality development, and achieved A number of representative achievements such as supercomputers, manned spaceflight, lunar exploration projects, and high-speed railways. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed that innovation is the first driving force for development, the comprehensive implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, and talents are the first resource. The latest achievement of combining the basic principles of political economy with the specific reality of reform and opening up has promoted the Sinicization of Marxism and enriched and developed contemporary Chinese Marxism. Under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on scientific and technological innovation, the construction of an innovative country has achieved fruitful results. Major scientific and technological achievements such as Tiangong, Jiaolong, Tianyan, Wukong, Mozi, and Large Aircraft have been published one after another, and new historic achievements have been made in scientific and technological innovation. my country's scientific and technological strength is moving from quantitative accumulation to qualitative leap, from point breakthrough to system capability improvement. Under the guidance of these major strategic thoughts and important judgments, our party has made a series of major decisions and deployments during the critical period of national development, laying a solid foundation for promoting the development of science and technology and for my country's modernization. Under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on scientific and technological innovation, we must adhere to the "four aspects", accelerate the construction of a world scientific and technological power, and achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
