2024-10-28
The "2024 Global Innovation Index Report" recently released by the World Intellectual Property Organization shows that China's global innovation ranking has risen one place from last year to eleventh place, making it one of the economies with the fastest increase in innovation in the past decade. China has 26 of the world's top 100 technology innovation clusters, surpassing last year's 24 and ranking first in the world. With the steady growth of China's innovation capability, this is the second consecutive year that China has topped the list. The rapid growth of China's technological innovation capability has attracted attention from foreign media. Science and technology continue to rise. "Mechanical dogs act as porters on the majestic Mount Taishan Mountain: science and technology benefit mankind." Recently, China's Vice Foreign Minister Hua Chunying released a video and an article on the social platform, praising "Mechanical dogs in Mount Taishan Mountain". According to the website of Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, the robot dog in the video is agile and has a strong sense of balance. Once it is put into practical use in the future, it is believed that it can improve the efficiency of goods and garbage transportation in the scenic spot, and show the new development of integration of science, technology, culture and tourism. The mechanical dog active in Mount Taishan has become a small incision for foreign media to observe China's scientific and technological strength and application. The coordinated and sustainable development of China's technological innovation capabilities and high-tech industries has attracted attention from foreign media. At the recent Paris Motor Show, the American business insider website described the performance of Chinese brands at the exhibition as "shining brightly". The report quoted the CEO of Renault in France as saying, 'The current center of gravity is in China.'. The New York Times reported that Chinese car brands such as BYD, Leapmotor, and Xiaopeng Motors attracted many visitors at the exhibition. The Wall Street Journal reported that "Chinese brands have surpassed in high-tech performance." "China is rapidly growing and benchmarking against cutting-edge technology leaders," said an article on the website of the South Korean newspaper, The Central Daily News. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington based think tank, recently released a report stating that China is making extremely rapid progress in the field of innovation. In the next 10 to 20 years, China is likely to reach or be very close to the global innovation frontier in most advanced industries. China is at a leading level in the field of nuclear power; Compete with the global advanced level in electric vehicles and batteries; Approaching advanced levels in the fields of robotics, displays, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. Hussain Askari, Deputy Director of the Swedish "the Belt and Road" Research Institute, believes that China is making great strides in many cutting-edge technology fields, such as big data, artificial intelligence, financial technology, 5G, electric vehicles, robots and UAVs. China is also one of the world's largest investors and users of digital technology. Saudi Arabia's "Riyadh Eye" website recently published an article stating that 2024 is a milestone year for the global artificial intelligence industry, especially for China. Chinese tech giants have made significant progress in this field, driving many industries forward and ushering in a new era of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence. Bloomberg analysis predicts that the proportion of China's high-tech industry in its gross domestic product will increase from 11% in 2018 to 19% in 2026. If the "new three types" of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic products, etc. are also included, this proportion will rise to 23% by 2026. What is the source of China's continuous improvement in innovation capability through increased investment and open cooperation? Foreign media have noticed that China's increasing R&D investment and open and inclusive international cooperation are driving the vigorous development of China's scientific and technological innovation. According to statistics, the total R&D investment in China exceeded 3.3 trillion yuan last year, an increase of 8.4% over the previous year. The report from the American website "Interesting Engineering" points out that the Chinese government prioritizes the development of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education, strives to build world-class research institutions and industrial technology parks, provides funding support and tax incentives for scientific research, encourages public-private partnerships, and jointly builds an innovative ecosystem. Alexander Romanov, Deputy Director of the Prymakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations at the Russian Academy of Sciences, believes that China is committed to modernizing its industrial base and strengthening its independent innovation capabilities in many key technological fields to achieve self-reliance. China attaches great importance to increasing resource investment in advanced industries and cutting-edge technology fields. This is not only related to enhancing the independent research and development capabilities of advanced technologies, but also focuses on strategic investment in future technologies. The website of the Brazilian magazine "Forum" analyzed China's satellite in orbit artificial intelligence big model as an example in its report: China has achieved rapid development of technological capabilities in this field, which is the result of strong investment in cutting-edge technologies such as remote sensing and 3D imaging. According to the 14th Five Year Plan, the Chinese government aims to achieve an average annual growth rate of over 7% in R&D funding for the entire society from 2021 to 2025. In addition, the proportion of basic research funding to R&D funding will be increased to over 8%. Sharing Innovation Achievements and Opportunities "In a survey conducted by the Fletcher School of Tufts University in the United States, China's comprehensive strength in artificial intelligence ranks second only to the United States. According to the Singapore magazine" Thought China, "at the United Nations Future Summit on September 23, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that" China supports the United Nations in playing the main channel role in artificial intelligence governance. He also stated at the United Nations General Assembly on September 28th that "in the face of the rising trend of artificial intelligence, China adheres to the principle of putting people first, promoting intelligence for good, and balancing development and security. Previously, China has also been proactive in the United Nations' artificial intelligence affairs. On July 1st, the United Nations General Assembly passed the resolution proposed by China to strengthen international cooperation in building artificial intelligence capabilities. Foreign media have noticed that with the continuous improvement of technological strength, China's technological cooperation with other countries is constantly advancing, providing positive energy for global technological development. Uganda's "New Vision" recently published an article saying that at this year's China Africa Internet Development and Cooperation Forum, participants warmly discussed cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence. The forum produced fruitful results. After the meeting, the "2024 Forum on China Africa Internet Development and Cooperation President's Statement on China Africa Artificial Intelligence Cooperation" was released. This is very inspiring. China is developing rapidly in the field of artificial intelligence, while the development of artificial intelligence in Africa is still in its early stages. African countries should make good use of the opportunities for cooperation with technologically advanced countries like China and develop corresponding strategies to develop Africa's own artificial intelligence solutions. Hussein Ascari believes that China advocates for win-win cooperation and sharing innovative achievements with other countries. China has rich experience in the construction of railways, ports, bridges and tunnels, and continues to share relevant technologies with countries co constructing the "the Belt and Road" to help developing countries strengthen infrastructure construction. China is vigorously researching and developing clean energy technologies to help countries in need transition towards green development. China also attaches great importance to international cooperation in the field of space exploration, collaborating with multiple countries around the world to launch Earth observation and communication satellites into orbit, and is committed to building China's space station into a common home for humanity in outer space. According to statistics, China has established scientific and technological cooperation relationships with over 160 countries and regions, and signed 118 intergovernmental scientific and technological cooperation agreements. China's favorable innovation environment and abundant talent resources are attracting more and more multinational companies to establish research and development centers in China. The website of The Economist magazine recently published an article stating that China's role as a world research and development laboratory is increasingly strong, and many multinational companies' research and development centers in China have become cradles of innovation, with their innovative achievements being widely applied around the world.
