O presidente chinês Xi Jinping pediu na quarta-feira esforços acelerados para alcançar autossuficiência e força de alto nível em ciência e tecnologia, além de aproveitar a inovação científica e tecnológica para sustentar e impulsionar a modernização chinesa.
Xi, também secretário-geral do Comitê Central do Partido Comunista da China (PCC) e presidente da Comissão Militar Central, fez as declarações em uma reunião em Pequim que reuniu a conferência nacional de prêmios de ciência e tecnologia, as assembleias gerais dos membros da Academia Chinesa de Ciências (CAS) e da Academia Chinesa de Engenharia (CAE). e o 11º congresso nacional da Associação Chinesa para Ciência e Tecnologia.
Ele afirmou que o período do 15º Plano Quinquenal (2026-2030) é uma fase crítica para enfrentar desafios difíceis na fortalecimento do país em ciência e tecnologia.
"Devemos aproveitar a oportunidade histórica, enfrentar os desafios dos tempos, acelerar os esforços para alcançar autossuficiência e força de alto nível em ciência e tecnologia, e fazer progressos constantes rumo à meta de 2035 de nos tornarmos um país líder em ciência e tecnologia", disse ele.
Na reunião, Xi entregou o principal prêmio científico-tecnológico da China para o ano de 2025 a Chen Liquan, pesquisador do Instituto de Física da CAS e acadêmico da CAE, e a Ben De, pesquisador do China Electronics Technology Group Corporation e também acadêmico da CAE. Após entregar as medalhas e certificados aos dois cientistas, Xi apertou a mão deles e os parabenizou.
Xi e outros líderes do Partido e do Estado, junto com os dois principais premiados, entregaram certificados a representantes dos destinatários de outros prêmios.
Li Qiang presidiu a reunião. Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi e Li Xi participaram da reunião. Ding Xuexiang anunciou a decisão do prêmio.
Xi observou que a China está acelerando sua transição de participante e contribuinte global em ciência e tecnologia para pioneira e líder, tornando-se um dos países com a capacidade de inovação que mais cresce.
Nos últimos dois anos, a China alcançou uma série de avanços notáveis em ciência-tecnologia, incluindo o Chang'e-6 completando o primeiro retorno de amostras da humanidade do lado oculto da lua, robôs inteligentes e drones avançando tanto em P&D quanto em aplicações industriais, medicamentos inovadores que saltaram da imitação e pesquisa subsequente para o desenvolvimento pioneiro mundial, além de variedades cultivadas cultivadas internamente que cobrem mais de 95% das terras agrícolas do país.
Mas Xi também apontou que a China ainda enfrenta lacunas na capacidade original de inovação, uma estrutura de talentos desequilibrada e uso ineficiente de investimentos em ciência e tecnologia, que exigem atenção e resolução sérias.
Ele enfatizou que a nova rodada de revolução sci-tech e transformação industrial está mudando profundamente a forma como a humanidade produz e vive, assim como o cenário do desenvolvimento global.
"We must adapt to the new situation and requirements, take more forceful measures to address the problems existing in China's sci-tech development, and make every effort to ensure the implementation of the various arrangements made by the Party Central Committee on sci-tech undertakings," he said.
Xi called for further strengthening of coordination in sci-tech strategic planning, policies and measures, major tasks, research strength, resource platforms, and regional innovation. "We should improve the mechanisms for deploying and organizing major national sci-tech innovation tasks, and strengthen the self-sufficiency for sci-tech infrastructure," he said.
Major projects should be planned holistically across frontier fields like AI, quantum tech and life sciences, in priority sectors such as integrated circuits and advanced manufacturing, as well as in strategic domains, including deep sea, deep space, and deep earth, he noted.
Xi emphasized the need to promote the deep integration of sci-tech innovation with industrial innovation, opening up channels for accelerating the transformation of sci-tech achievements into real productive forces.
"Sci-tech innovation should highlight an application-oriented approach, while industrial innovation should raise scientific questions. We must strengthen the national technology transfer system, create diversified application scenarios and high-level industrial clusters, and facilitate the promotion, application and iterative upgrading of self-developed technologies and products," he said.
Xi also called for improving the intellectual property protection system and building a financial system compatible with sci-tech innovation.
When speaking of cultivating young sci-tech talents, Xi pointed out that research should be integrated with education, and greater support should be provided to researchers to help them overcome practical challenges.
Efforts should be made to identify and nurture the teenagers' interests, specialties, scientific literacy and experimental skills, inspiring more promising youth to pursue careers in science and technology, he said.
Xi stressed the need to boost the effectiveness of innovation investment. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China's total R&D spending grew by an average of 10 percent annually, which was no small feat.
"Yet in practice, problems such as wasteful spending and inefficient duplication in investment still persist to varying degrees," he noted, calling for improving systems and management to ensure that every penny is not only spent right but spent well to match greater investment with greater efficiency.
He said that enterprises should be encouraged to increase their R&D spending, and broader social resources should be mobilized to support sci-tech innovation.
Xi pointed out that it is necessary to deepen reforms on sci-tech evaluation, making it a good "conductor's baton." Project reviews, institutional assessments, and talent evaluations should all be guided by innovation capability, quality, actual effect, and contribution.
He stressed the need to strengthen governance of sci-tech ethics and security. "Science and technology should pursue positive and ethical progress, maintain security and controllability, and deliver benefits to the people," he said.
Ethical standards and guidelines for key areas should be clarified, and the assessment, monitoring and early warning, as well as emergency response of sci-tech security risks, should be enhanced, he added.
Xi urged the CAS and the CAE to rally the nation's scientific community to keep abreast of the new sci-tech revolution and scale new heights in global science, while requiring the China Association for Science and Technology to go all out to serve researchers, innovation-driven development, public scientific literacy enhancement and sound policymaking by the Party and government.
Li Qiang pointed out that Xi's important speech fully affirmed the nation's major scientific achievements in recent years, analyzed the new situation facing sci-tech development and laid out clear requirements for implementing the Party Central Committee's plans for sci-tech development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
Wednesday's meeting honored 258 projects and 11 scientific and technological experts. Among them, 51 projects received the State Natural Science Award, 58 projects the State Technological Invention Award, and 149 projects the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award.
In addition to the two recipients of the top award, nine foreign experts were conferred the China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award. ■
