Compared with the 14th Five Year Plan, the 15th Five Year Plan not only requires technological "self-reliance and self-improvement", but also emphasizes "high level". General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement are strategic supports for high-quality development." "Chinese style modernization relies on technological modernization support, and achieving high-quality development relies on technological innovation to cultivate new driving forces." The "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 15th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal") clearly proposes to "accelerate high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement", and "significantly improve the level of technological self-reliance and self-improvement" is listed as one of the main goals of economic and social development during the "15th Five Year Plan" period, always placing technological innovation at the core of national strategy. In the "Suggestions", "technology" is mentioned 46 times, "innovation" is mentioned 61 times, and "new quality productivity" is mentioned 6 times, highlighting China's emphasis on technological development and indicating that during the "15th Five Year Plan" period, China will continue to use technological innovation as an important driving force for economic development and firmly determine to "seize the commanding heights of science and technology". The term 'technology' appears multiple times in the 'Proposal', which is a strategic decision made based on a profound assessment of the domestic and international situation. With the acceleration of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, global technological innovation has entered an unprecedented period of intensive activity. Technological innovation is becoming a key driving force for improving production efficiency, enhancing supply capacity, and stimulating potential growth rates. High quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, with a focus on further liberating and developing social productive forces, and achieving a transition from 'having' to 'not being good'. Relying on scientific and technological modernization, promoting scientific and technological innovation, developing new quality productivity according to local conditions, and improving total factor productivity can provide a driving force for high-quality development, and constantly consolidate the material and technological foundation of Chinese path to modernization. In the face of complex and severe domestic and international situations, only by relying on scientific and technological modernization to support Chinese path to modernization, and by relying on high-level science and technology to build a solid foundation for high-quality development, can we actively respond to various uncertainties and uncertainties and promote Chinese path to modernization to achieve stability. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China's scientific and technological strength has reached a new level, with fruitful achievements in scientific and technological innovation and steady development of new quality productive forces, laying a solid foundation for the economic and social development of the 15th Five Year Plan. According to data released by the Ministry of Science and Technology in September, the total R&D investment in society will exceed 3.6 trillion yuan in 2024, an increase of 48% compared to 2020; The R&D investment intensity has reached 2.68%, exceeding the average level of EU countries; The total number of R&D personnel ranks first in the world. In 2024, the basic research budget reached 249.7 billion yuan, an increase of over 70% compared to 2020. A number of significant original achievements have been made in fields such as quantum technology, life sciences, material sciences, and space sciences. The number of high-level international journal articles and international patent applications have ranked first in the world for five consecutive years. Facing the 15th Five Year Plan, accelerating high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement remains an important task. The "Proposal" will deploy a special chapter on "accelerating high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, leading the development of new quality productivity", proposing to seize the historical opportunity of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, 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 enhance independent innovation capabilities, seize the high ground of technological development, and continuously stimulate new quality productivity. From the 14th Five Year Plan to the 15th Five Year Plan, technological innovation will be given a more core mission. Compared with the 14th Five Year Plan, the 15th Five Year Plan not only requires technological "self-reliance and self-improvement", but also emphasizes "high level". This means that in the future, technological development will pay more attention to original innovation and disruptive technological innovation, with the goal of connecting the complete chain from basic research to industrial application, making technological innovation a true source of driving high-quality economic development. Adhering to the goal oriented and problem oriented approach, the "Proposal" has made systematic arrangements for scientific and technological innovation during the "15th Five Year Plan" period from four aspects: strengthening original innovation and key core technology research, promoting deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, promoting the development of educational and technological talents as a whole, and deepening the construction of a digital China. One point deployment, nine points implementation. After five years of hard work in the future, China's scientific and technological strength will take another big step. Scientific and technological innovation will lead to new quality productivity and promote high-quality development, which will achieve greater results and provide more powerful support for the construction of Chinese path to modernization.
