2024-10-15
In June 2024, Chang'e-6 completed the first lunar far side sampling in human history, breaking through multiple key technologies and achieving another landmark achievement in China's construction of a space and technology powerhouse, becoming a new important milestone in China's lunar exploration project. On September 23rd, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his meeting with representatives of the Chang'e-6 lunar exploration mission that we must vigorously promote the spirit of pursuing dreams, daring to explore, working together to overcome challenges, and achieving win-win cooperation in the whole society. This will further enhance the national confidence and pride of all Chinese people, and unite the magnificent force of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization. A great cause nurtures a great spirit. The spirit of lunar exploration forged by China's lunar exploration project in the process of continuously writing a new chapter in lunar exploration is not only the inheritance and continuation of the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite" and manned spaceflight, but also rich in distinctive characteristics of the new era. Chasing dreams and striving to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Chinese nation has passed on the dream of flying for generations. In the course of the struggle of the CPC to unite and lead hundreds of millions of people to build socialist modernization, this millennium dream has evolved into the ambition of "daring to reach the moon in nine days" and the triumphant belief of striving forward. In February 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during a meeting with representatives of the research and testing personnel of the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project that "the Chinese nation is a nation that dares to pursue its dreams. The decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to implement the lunar exploration project is to fulfill the Chinese nation's dream of self-improvement and flying to the moon. This' dream 'embodies the Chinese Dream of comprehensively building a socialist modernized strong country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation is an ancient and great nation, with a splendid civilization and a long history. However, after the Opium War, it suffered unprecedented disasters. Since then, realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has become the greatest dream of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. In the spiritual pedigree of the CPC people with the great spirit of party building as the source, the original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation is integrated. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "All the struggles, sacrifices, and creations of the Chinese people united and led by the Communist Party of China can be summarized as one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. During the century long struggle, the spiritual pedigree of the CPC people has been deeply integrated into the blood of our party, country, nation and people, and has become a valuable spiritual asset that supports and guides generations to continue their struggle to realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As the inheritance and continuation of the spirit of "Two Bombs, One Satellite" and manned spaceflight, the spirit of lunar exploration carries the dream of flying and exploring the moon. It is not only a dream of space exploration, but also a dream of rejuvenation and a dream of building a strong country. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the successful detonation of China's first atomic bomb. The spirit of loving the motherland and selfless dedication that was ignited in the development of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" program has been passed down and developed in the practice of lunar exploration projects in the new era. The spirit of lunar exploration not only reflects the confidence and determination to pursue dreams, but also reflects the courage and perseverance to achieve dreams. It fully demonstrates the Chinese people's ambition, backbone and confidence, and once again confirms the determination and ability of the Chinese nation to stand independently in the world's national forest with unremitting self-improvement and tenacity. The major changes in the world that have not been seen in a century are accelerating, and external suppression and containment are constantly escalating. China's development has entered a period of strategic opportunities and risks, as well as an increase in uncertain and unpredictable factors. In the face of such a severe and complex situation, it is particularly necessary to vigorously carry forward the spirit of lunar exploration, inherit the red gene, continue the spiritual blood, further enhance the national self-confidence and pride, strengthen the spiritual bond of unity and self-improvement, muster up energy, work hard, and more firmly promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "since entering the 21st century, global scientific and technological innovation has entered an unprecedentedly intensive and active period, and a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is reconstructing the global innovation map and reshaping the global economic structure." "Science and technology have never had such a profound impact on the future and destiny of a country, and have never had such a profound impact on people's lives and well-being as they do today. History has shown that science and technology always drive human society forward with an irreversible and irresistible force. Chinese path to modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology as the support, which inevitably requires adhering to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China's modernization construction, and taking the self-reliance of high-level science and technology as the strategic support for national development. As a landmark project of China's major scientific and technological projects, the lunar exploration project is involved in the highly risky and challenging field of deep space exploration, which is also an important area reflecting the country's scientific and technological level and innovation capabilities. The lunar exploration project was officially launched in 2004. Following the first lunar orbit exploration in China by Chang'e-1 in 2007 and the subsequent interstellar exploration by Chang'e-2 in 2010, Chang'e-3 achieved a soft landing on the moon in 2013, Chang'e-4 achieved the first human probe visit to the far side of the moon in 2018, Chang'e-5 achieved China's first extraterrestrial celestial body sampling and return in 2020, and Chang'e-6 completed the first lunar far side sampling in human history in June 2024, the lunar exploration project has repeatedly achieved significant breakthroughs of milestone significance. This series of landmark achievements embodies the determination and courage to explore and take the lead, as well as the path of perseverance and independent innovation. Currently, with the deepening development of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, scientific research is expanding towards the extreme macro, deepening towards the extreme micro, advancing towards extreme conditions, and making cross cutting efforts towards the extreme comprehensive, constantly breaking through the boundaries of human cognition. Our footsteps towards the world's technological peak cannot stop for a moment. In today's world, the technological revolution and great power games are intertwined, and the high-tech field has become the forefront and main battlefield of international competition. The competition around the technological high ground is unprecedentedly fierce. Science and technology workers should promote the spirit of scientific exploration and innovation, aim at the forefront and top level of world science and technology, and strive to achieve significant innovation and breakthroughs in basic science and key core technology fields. We must soberly recognize that technological self-reliance is the foundation of national strength and security. Faced with increasingly fierce global competition in comprehensive national strength and external suppression and containment, only by adhering to the path of independent innovation and firmly grasping the lifeline of technology in our own hands can we truly grasp the initiative of competition and development. Science and technology workers should firmly establish the ambition and confidence of daring to be the first in the world, dare to take the path that others have not taken, grasp the trend, seize the opportunity, strengthen innovation confidence, focus on enhancing independent innovation capabilities, and accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. The key is to firmly adhere to the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics and fully leverage the advantages of the new national system to support the construction of a socialist modernized strong country through high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Our greatest advantage is that our socialist system can concentrate our efforts to accomplish great things. This is an important magic weapon for us to achieve our cause. In the past, we relied on this magic weapon to make major scientific and technological breakthroughs. Today, we also rely on this magic weapon to promote scientific and technological innovation and leap forward, forming a new mechanism for concentrating our efforts to accomplish great things under the conditions of a socialist market economy." Collaborative efforts and concentrated efforts to accomplish great things have been confirmed in the lunar exploration project. The lunar exploration project consists of an overall engineering system, detectors, launch vehicles, launch sites, measurement, control and recovery, ground applications, and other systems. Thousands of units and tens of thousands of personnel participate together, involving multiple scientific fields, high complexity, and large technological spans. It is a large-scale and highly integrated system engineering. It can be said that every breakthrough and leap forward is the result of gathering innovative resources and forces from all aspects of the country to work together, and it is also a vivid manifestation of the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. In the history of New China, a large number of significant technological achievements represented by the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" were inseparable from the national system of concentrating efforts to accomplish major tasks. The reason why the national system is called a "magic weapon" is because it has strong organizational mobilization and resource integration capabilities. It played a crucial role in efficiently mobilizing various advantageous forces, organizing and implementing major scientific and technological projects, and focusing on breaking through major national strategic goals in the context of the country's relatively weak material and technological conditions at that time. With the continuous improvement of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, our party has gradually formed a new mechanism for concentrating efforts to accomplish major tasks under the conditions of a socialist market economy. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the need to improve the new national system for tackling key core technologies. The Third Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to "improve the new national system and enhance the overall efficiency of the national innovation system". The new national system is characterized by various aspects such as organizational model, target tasks, participating entities, and implementation conditions. From the perspective of institutional improvement, the key is to adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over scientific and technological work, strengthen the overall planning, policy measures, major tasks, scientific research capabilities, resource platforms, regional innovation and other aspects, build a collaborative and efficient decision-making and command system and organizational implementation system, and consolidate a strong force to promote scientific and technological innovation. In terms of mechanism optimization, it is necessary to organically combine the decisive role of the market in the allocation of scientific and technological resources with the better role of the government, effectively mobilize the innovation vitality of diverse subjects in various links of industry university research, and achieve the aggregation and efficient allocation of various innovation factors, forming a work pattern of jointly promoting key core technology research and development. The lunar exploration project is a vivid practice and successful example of exploring the establishment of a new national system. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has made major strategic decisions and overall planning arrangements with foresight and strategic planning. Talents from various fields, including Hong Kong and Macao, as well as state-owned and private institutions and enterprises, have participated in it, truly reflecting the spirit of collaborative efforts to tackle national strategies and major scientific and technological issues, and fully leveraging the significant advantages of the new national system. 4. Win win cooperation, let scientific and technological achievements benefit all mankind. Science and technology have a global and contemporary nature, and the development of science and technology must have a global perspective and grasp the pulse of the times. Adhering to the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics is not about doing it behind closed doors, but about actively integrating into the global innovation network, deeply participating in global science and technology governance, and working with countries around the world to create an open, fair, just, and non discriminatory international environment for scientific and technological development, so that science and technology can better benefit humanity. China's lunar exploration project adheres to the principles of equality, mutual benefit, peaceful use, and win-win cooperation. It deeply promotes various forms of international exchanges and cooperation in space exploration, carries scientific instruments and equipment from multiple countries on the Chang'e lunar journey, opens up raw exploration data to the world, actively advocates the establishment of an international lunar research station, provides a broad stage for international scientific and technological cooperation, and contributes Chinese wisdom and strength to global deep space exploration. Currently, a few countries are attempting to restrict or hinder technological cooperation, interfere with the innovation and development of other countries, and maintain their own hegemonic position through technology monopolies, blockades, and barriers, using the so-called "small courtyards and high walls". This kind of behavior is not in line with the common interests of the international community and goes against the general trend of international scientific and technological cooperation, and is destined to be unfeasible. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the more complex the international environment, the more we need to open our hearts and doors, coordinate openness and security, and achieve self-reliance and self-improvement in open cooperation. Win win cooperation fully demonstrates the strengthening of China's national economy
