A China that continues to focus on original innovation, accelerates industrial transformation, and takes active actions in open cooperation will bring cooler technologies and broader opportunities to the world. At the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting held recently, Kevin Kelly, founding editor in chief of the international technology magazine "Wired", stated that China is at the forefront of many technological developments such as artificial intelligence, and is expected to become a benchmark that the world aspires to and truly "cool". This observation from the industry expresses the genuine feelings of all parties towards China's new development trend - China's technological innovation is injecting new momentum into global technological innovation with a "cool" and leading attitude. Cool "lies in the innovative spirit of" daring to be the first in the world ". Once upon a time, some people internationally talked about Chinese innovation and habitually labeled it as an "imitator". In recent years, from leading the world in new energy vehicles to stunning the world with large-scale artificial intelligence models; From Chang'e-6 bringing back lunar samples to refresh human understanding of the moon, to "the world's strongest" carbon fiber breaking through high-end material technology barriers, more and more "Made in China" are filling the gap in world scientific and technological innovation. Innovative achievements continue to emerge, stemming from the accumulation and gradual development of long termism. Continuously increasing R&D investment, steadily strengthening the talent team, and persistently tackling key core technologies are the key to making breakthroughs from scratch. A British media outlet has observed that the definition of "originality" is quietly shifting eastward, and Western companies now need to catch up with China's pace in innovation, production, and standard application. Cool "is widely used in applications that are within reach. At the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting, "swarm intelligence" demonstrated its abilities: robots "group" to open restaurants, mechanical hands play the piano and thread needles, AR (augmented reality) translation glasses translate more than 100 languages and dialects in real time... Attendees exclaimed that "technology is very mature and has entered the stage of widespread application". China has the world's largest, most comprehensive, and most complete manufacturing system, coupled with a massive and diverse application scenarios nurtured by a super large market. This means that once a technology is verified to be feasible, it can often quickly complete iterative optimization, scene adaptation, and scale manufacturing. The rapid transformation of "1" in the laboratory into "100" in daily life, and the deep integration of "high-precision" technological achievements with "down-to-earth" application scenarios, are the distinctive characteristics of China's scientific and technological innovation. Cool "lies in an inclusive mindset that promotes sharing through openness. Technological progress is a global and contemporary issue, and only open cooperation is the right path. When some countries build "small courtyards and high walls" and attempt to block monopolistic competitive advantages with technology, China has always adhered to the original intention of open cooperation and embarked on a new path of using open source to bridge the gap and sharing to achieve win-win results. Chinese photovoltaic products have entered Pakistan to meet the basic electricity needs of local residents, assist in agricultural production, and empower small businesses to operate; The Beidou application has landed in Sri Lanka, accurately monitoring meteorological changes and significantly improving the efficiency of fishermen's operations; China's practice has shown that the true value of technological innovation lies not in allowing a few countries to monopolize advantages, but in allowing more people to enjoy the benefits of technological progress, and promoting global common development through technological inclusiveness, by opening up and sharing the top ten major scientific research infrastructures globally and turning independently developed "national treasures" into public goods that benefit the world. Looking ahead to the 15th Five Year Plan, China's blueprint for scientific and technological innovation is clearly laid out: accelerating high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, leading the development of new quality productive forces; Strengthen original innovation and key core technology research and development, and enhance the scientific and technological layout in strategic frontier fields; Deepen the expansion of "artificial intelligence+" and enhance the level of digital intelligence development; Building a new pattern of high-level technological openness and cooperation... A China that continues to make efforts in original innovation, accelerates industrial transformation, and takes active actions in open cooperation will bring cooler technologies and broader opportunities to the world. Joining hands to build an open, fair, just, and non discriminatory global environment for technological development, and turning the "coolness" of technological innovation into the common welfare of all mankind, is China's firm choice and the only way for all countries to achieve common prosperity.
