The newly revised Law on Popularization of Science and Technology was adopted at the 13th Meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress on December 25, and came into force as of the date of promulgation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to the cause of science popularization, made a series of major decisions and deployments, and promoted the high-quality development of science popularization in the new era. Shi Hong, director of the Social Law Office of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, pointed out in an interview with the media that the revision of the Science and Technology Popularization Law is an inevitable requirement for implementing the relevant decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, an important measure to comprehensively summarize the achievements of China's reform and development of science popularization, and a practical need to comprehensively strengthen the legal protection of science popularization. Regarding the overall idea of revising the Law on the Popularization of Science and Technology by adhering to problem orientation and respecting the laws of science popularization, Shi Hong introduced that the revision work mainly focuses on grasping four major aspects. Adhere to the leadership of the Party. The leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job in science popularization. The newly revised Law on Science and Technology Popularization clearly stipulates that the CPC should adhere to its overall leadership over science popularization and transform major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee into legal norms through legal procedures. Adhere to a problem oriented approach. The newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law focuses on the prominent issues in the development of science popularization based on the new situation, changes, and requirements faced by science popularization. It improves the science popularization system and mechanism, enhances the guarantee measures, strengthens the construction of science popularization talent team and facilities, enriches the supply of science popularization products and services, and improves the quality of science popularization. Respect the laws of science popularization. The newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law sets up the rights and obligations of state organs, social organizations, enterprises and institutions, grassroots autonomous organizations, and individuals such as science and technology workers to actively participate in science popularization. Accurately grasp the positioning. As a specialized law in the field of science popularization, the main function of the Science and Technology Popularization Law is to ensure and promote the development of science popularization. The newly revised law focuses closely on improving relevant systems around this theme. For activities related to science popularization but suitable for adjustment by other laws, the newly revised law only provides transitional provisions and applies other relevant laws in practice. The newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law has added two chapters, "Science Popularization Activities" and "Science Popularization Personnel", to strengthen the construction of the talent team. The revised law has increased from 6 chapters with 34 articles to 8 chapters with 60 articles. Shi Hong specifically introduced the content and highlights of the legal revision. The newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law highlights the important position of science popularization, clarifying that science popularization is an important component of the national innovation system and a fundamental work for achieving innovative development. At the same time, it stipulates that science popularization should be people-centered, adhere to the forefront of world science and technology, the main battlefield of the economy, major national needs, and people's lives and health. September will also be designated as National Science Popularization Month every year. The newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law emphasizes the public welfare nature of science popularization and improves the government's responsibility for science popularization work. Not only does it stipulate the implementation of the national action plan for promoting scientific literacy, but it also formulates a plan for promoting scientific literacy among the entire population. It is also explicitly stated that the state should improve the evaluation system for science popularization work and the monitoring and evaluation system for citizens' scientific literacy, conduct science popularization surveys and statistics, and evaluate citizens' scientific literacy, in order to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the development of science popularization. To promote the development of science popularization activities, the newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law has added a special chapter on "science popularization activities". It is clearly stipulated that popular science content should have legality and scientificity. The state strengthens the monitoring and evaluation of the release and dissemination of popular science information. For false and erroneous information with a wide range of dissemination and great social harm, scientific and technological or relevant competent departments should clarify and correct it in a timely manner according to their respective responsibilities. The newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law has added a special chapter on "Science Popularization Personnel" to strengthen the construction of the science popularization talent team. It stipulates that the state should strengthen the training and exchange of science popularization personnel, enhance their ideological and moral qualities, scientific and cultural qualities, and professional level, and establish a professional science popularization personnel team. At the same time, it is clear that the country will improve the evaluation and incentive mechanism for science popularization personnel, encourage relevant units to establish evaluation systems such as professional title assessment and performance evaluation that are in line with the characteristics of science popularization, and provide effective incentives for science popularization personnel. In response to the new situation of the digital age, the newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law has improved the system of online science popularization. Encourage organizations and individuals to use emerging media to carry out various forms of science popularization, expand science popularization channels and means, and emphasize that if network service providers discover users spreading false and erroneous information, they should take immediate measures to prevent information dissemination. Improving supporting systems to ensure the implementation of laws "The vitality of the law lies in its implementation, and the authority of the law also lies in its implementation." Shi Hong pointed out that the next step is to do a good job in three aspects to implement the newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law. Firstly, efforts should be made to increase the promotion of legal knowledge. Relevant departments, units, and individuals should strengthen the publicity and interpretation of the Science and Technology Popularization Law, accurately understand and grasp the new systems and measures stipulated in the law, and lay a good foundation for doing a good job in science popularization work. Secondly, we need to improve supporting institutional mechanisms to ensure the effective implementation of laws. For example, relevant departments should improve evaluation criteria and institutional mechanisms to better stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of all parties to participate in science popularization; Science popularization venues should improve free or preferential policies for young people in accordance with the law; Science and technology or relevant regulatory authorities should establish mechanisms for clarifying and correcting false and erroneous information. Thirdly, we should take the implementation of the newly revised Science and Technology Popularization Law as an opportunity to actively promote science popularization. The newly revised Law on the Popularization of Science and Technology provides institutional guarantees and work tools for various aspects to carry out science popularization. State organs, enterprises, institutions, social organizations, and individuals such as science popularization workers and volunteers should fully utilize the favorable environment created by the law to actively carry out science popularization work.
