At the 2024 China International Fair for Trade in Services, a number of Chinese technological innovations were showcased, including brain controlled neural rehabilitation training robots, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, and the world's first radiation free super hydrogen powered motorcycle. According to the "2024 Global Innovation Index Report" recently released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China's global innovation ranking has risen one place to eleventh place compared to last year, making it the only middle-income economy among the top 30 economies and one of the economies with the fastest increase in innovation in the past decade. The prosperity of technology leads to the prosperity of the nation, and the strength of technology leads to the strength of the country. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Anhui that "to promote Chinese style modernization, science and technology must take the lead, and technological innovation is the only way." From the perspective of the world's modernization process, some countries have seized the opportunity of the technological revolution to enter the ranks of modernized countries. Chinese path to modernization depends on the modernization of science and technology, and high-quality development depends on scientific and technological innovation to cultivate new momentum. China, which is moving towards high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, will always firmly grasp the initiative of development in its own hands. Not long ago, the native HarmonyOS developed by Huawei began public testing, and many mobile phone users rushed to "try it out", feeling "finally using a real domestic operating system". The operating system and basic software are the foundation of the digital economy and intelligent manufacturing, and their importance for technological innovation is self-evident. Practice has repeatedly proven that key core technologies cannot be obtained, bought, or acquired, and must rely on self-reliance. The way to innovation lies in finding people. As more and more fields enter the "no man's land" of innovation, only by fully stimulating the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of scientific researchers can more "zero to one" innovation breakthroughs be achieved. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, several of the recipients of national medals and honorary titles are scientists, which shows the respect for science and the hospitality towards innovators. Wang Zhenyi, who "can't see the pain of patients", Li Zhensheng, who is determined to "let Chinese people have a full meal and a good meal", and Zhao Zhongxian, who has devoted more than 60 years to the study of high temperature superconductivity... Their scientific research achievements are brilliant, and their spirit of "how many times can we fight in life" is even more impressive, encouraging more people to open their hands to innovation and creation, and contribute their talents to building a scientific and technological power. Stimulating innovation vitality relies on the role of institutions and the power of reform. Suzhou, Jiangsu Province has released a global demand list for key technologies, aiming to better gather innovative forces for collaborative research and development. Fudan University Xianghui Research Institute provides long-term support for "anti common sense, high-risk, and disruptive" research for more than 10 years, allowing researchers to accumulate experience and focus on tackling problems. At the Qinghai Tibet Plateau Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the "lump sum system" of travel expenses has solved the problem of "finding tickets" and "pasting tickets" that scientific researchers often encounter in remote areas. To build a system and mechanism that supports comprehensive innovation, we need to do a good job in the "addition and subtraction" of reform, reducing the complexity, burden, and obstacles, and adding the surging vitality of innovation and creativity, as well as the exploration enthusiasm to move forward courageously. Technological innovation is the core, and grasping technological innovation is grasping the bull's nose that affects the overall development of our country Continuing to promote the spirit of science, following the laws of talent growth and technological development, and providing solutions, easing burdens, and encouraging scientific researchers, will undoubtedly activate the "spring water" of technological innovation and inject a continuous stream of strong momentum into the construction of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation.
