The remarkable achievements in the development of science and technology in our country are mainly reflected in eight aspects:
1. Establishing a relatively complete modern science and technology system
Our country has become One of the few countries in the world with a relatively comprehensive and self-contained system of discipline construction; in terms of basic research, cutting-edge technology research, social welfare research, application development and industrialization, it has formed a network of national scientific research institutions, colleges and universities, There is a multi-level layout of scientific and technological forces, including local scientific research institutions and various enterprises and institutions; scientific and technological investment has increased significantly, and scientific research conditions and scientific and technological infrastructure have been continuously improved. At present, my country's overall scientific and technological development level is at the forefront of developing countries, and some scientific research fields have reached internationally advanced levels.
2. A huge scientific and technological team has been formed
After years of development, our country’s scientific and technological talent team has continued to grow. At present, my country's total scientific and technological human resources have reached more than 40 million (ranking first in the world), and there are nearly 2 million research and development personnel (ranking second in the world). Overall, a sizable and high-quality scientific and technological talent team has been created, forming a strong scientific research strength and a rich talent reserve.
3. The level of scientific research has been greatly improved
my country’s research on land phase oil theory, synthetic bovine insulin crystals, Goldbach’s conjecture, high-temperature superconductivity, nanomaterials, quantum communications, life A number of important research results have been achieved in science and other aspects. Important breakthroughs have been made in cutting-edge technologies such as super hybrid rice, high-performance computers, Chinese character laser typesetting, and third-generation mobile communications. In 2013, the number of SCI papers in my country reached 231,400, ranking second in the world, and the number of invention patents granted in China ranked third in the world.
4. Overcoming a number of major engineering and technological difficulties
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, under extremely difficult conditions, we achieved the success of "two bombs and one satellite" Major scientific and technological achievements. Entering the 21st century, we have made significant progress in the fields of manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects. In the construction of major projects such as the Three Gorges Project, West-to-East Gas Transmission, West-to-East Electricity Transmission, South-to-North Water Diversion, and Qinghai-Tibet Railway, we have overcome a series of scientific and technological difficulties and made important contributions to the national economic construction.
5. The high-tech industry is booming
my country's high-tech industry has developed rapidly from small to large, from weak to strong. In 2008, the added value of high-tech industries accounted for 10.2% of the total industrial added value, and the export of high-tech products accounted for 29.1% of the total merchandise exports. The 56 national high-tech zones distributed across the country have given full play to their agglomeration, radiation and driving functions and have become important bases for the development of high-tech industries. Their average energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP is only 40% of the national average. A large number of dynamic high-tech zones have Technology companies are growing rapidly.
6. Science and technology have achieved remarkable results in benefiting the people
my country’s agricultural science and technology innovation has achieved important results, and more than 8,000 new varieties of crops have been cultivated and promoted, especially the cultivation and large-scale production of new varieties such as hybrid rice. The implementation of major agricultural science and technology projects such as area promotion and grain production has increased the coverage rate of improved varieties of major crops in the country to more than 95%, and the comprehensive grain production capacity has been greatly improved. As a result, 22% of the world's population has been fed with less than 10% of the world's arable land. Significant progress has been made in scientific and technological innovations in major diseases, new drug creation, and prevention and control of major infectious diseases. A number of key technological breakthroughs have been made in the fields of resources and environment, public safety, disaster prevention and reduction, and in response to SARS, avian influenza, and Public health emergencies such as the H1N1 influenza and major natural disasters such as the Wenchuan earthquake have provided strong scientific and technological support.
7. Comprehensive advancement of the construction of the national innovation system
With the continuous deepening of reform, my country's science and technology system has undergone important changes, the layout of disciplines has been further optimized, science and technology and economy have been more closely integrated, science and technology The management and operation mechanisms are continuously improved. Breakthrough progress has been made in the construction of a technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market as the guide and integrating industry, academia and research; the construction of regional innovation systems with distinctive characteristics has achieved remarkable results, and science and technology is playing an increasingly important role in promoting local economic and social development.
Science and technology popularization activities are becoming increasingly widespread, promoting scientific spirit and popularizing scientific and technological knowledge in the whole society, and the scientific and technological quality of the general public is constantly improving.
8. International scientific and technological cooperation presents a new situation
my country has established scientific and technological cooperation relations with 152 countries and regions in the world, and signed 104 agreements with 97 of them. Intergovernmental scientific and technological cooperation agreements and non-governmental scientific and technological exchanges are very active. Our country's scientific and technological workers have participated in nearly a thousand international academic organizations and played an important role in them. Our country actively participates in a number of international major scientific projects such as the "Human Genome Project", "Galileo Global Satellite Navigation Project", and "International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Project", and develops traditional Chinese medicine, new energy and renewable energy, etc., with China as the main focus. international science and technology cooperation plan. A number of high-level international innovation parks, joint research centers and scientific and technological cooperation demonstration bases have been built. Actively carry out foreign scientific and technological assistance and support scientific research institutions and enterprises to "go global".

The founding of New China
At 2:00 pm on October 1, 1949, the Central Committee elected by the first plenary session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference The People's Government Committee held its first meeting in Qinzheng Hall. 56 members of the Central People's Government Committee including Chairman Mao Zedong, Vice Chairman Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Song Qingling, Li Jishen, Zhang Lan, Gao Gang, and Zhou Enlai announced their inauguration.
The meeting unanimously resolved to declare the establishment of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, accept the "Communist Program of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference" as its policy policy, and declare the People's Republic of China to governments of all countries.
