The key to Chinese modernization lies in the modernization of science and technology.

This is an innovative China with unlimited vitality. In Zhoushan Port, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, relying on the independently developed container terminal production operating system, the whole process of unloading, transportation and storage is intelligent. In Fujian Quanzhou Zhongke Sanan Unmanned Plant Factory, "Light Formula" shows its talents to make plants grow faster and yield higher. In the assembly workshop of Guangzhou Guangzhou Guangzhou Aian Intelligent Ecological Factory, the mechanical arm is waved up and down, and a new energy car goes offline every 53 seconds... Looking at the land of China, scientific and technological innovation has become an important driving force leading the modernization drive, and a vivid picture of promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance is slowly unfolding.
Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during an inspection in Jiangsu: "The key to Chinese-style modernization lies in the modernization of science and technology." If science and technology stand, the nation will stand, and if science and technology are strong, the country will be strong. From the proposal that "innovation is the first driving force to lead development", to the emphasis on "strengthening key core technology research, holding the 'bull nose' of independent innovation", to the requirement of "striving to master the key core technology and equipment manufacturing industry in our own hands" ...... Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has placed scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development, comprehensive planning of scientific and technological innovation. my country has deeply implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, joined the ranks of innovative countries, and formed a new strategic pattern of technological innovation and development that supports development and guarantees security.
Achieving high-quality development is one of the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. Accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance is the only way to promote high-quality development. We must see that building a modern economic system and promoting quality changes, efficiency changes, and power changes all require strong scientific and technological support. It should also be noted that the principal contradiction in our society has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development, and in order to meet the people's yearning for a better life, it is necessary to introduce more scientific and technological innovations related to people's livelihood. It should also be noted that to promote the domestic cycle, we must adhere to the main line of supply-side structural reform, improve the quality and level of the supply system, create new demand with new supply, scientific and technological innovation is the key; smooth domestic and international double cycle, but also need scientific and technological strength to ensure the safety and stability of the industrial chain supply chain. The situation is compelling, the challenge is compelling, and the mission is compelling. To speed up the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and to speed up the construction of a powerful country in science and technology, we cannot wait, wait and see, or slack off.
Self-reliance is the basis of the struggle for the Chinese nation to stand on its own among the nations of the world, and independent innovation is the only way for us to climb the peak of world science and technology. The key core technology is not to come, to buy, to win. From the complete completion of China's space station, to the "Shenwei Taihu Light" supercomputer realizing the first parallel first-principle calculation simulation of tens of millions of cores, to the "Guohe No. 1" and "Hualong No. 1" three-generation nuclear power technology achieving new breakthroughs ...... Successful examples of independent innovation tell us that only by holding the lifeblood of science and technology in our own hands can we truly grasp the initiative of competition and development and form new advantages in international competition, only in this way can we "let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly in the fishing boat" and successfully cope with changes in the external environment and various external shocks.
If scientific and technological innovation is compared to the new engine of China's development, then reform is an indispensable ignition system to ignite this new engine. Since the new era, the reform of China's science and technology system has been pushed forward in depth, the basic institutional framework for scientific and technological innovation has been basically established, and substantial progress and remarkable results have been made in the reform of key areas and key links, which has greatly released the momentum of the innovation engine. Focusing on the future, strengthening the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, deepening the reform of the scientific and technological system and the reform of the talent development system and mechanism, and removing all ideological obstacles and institutional barriers that restrict innovation, can we maximize the liberation and stimulation of the huge potential of science and technology as the primary productive force.
A generation has a generation of struggle, an era has an era of responsibility. Facing the new trend of scientific and technological innovation, major countries in the world are looking for breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation. We must not fall behind in this competition of scientific and technological innovation. We must catch up, catch up and strive to surpass. We have the ability and confidence to actively seize the commanding heights of scientific and technological competition and future development, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, and firmly control the destiny of my country's development and progress in our own hands.
