Present situation of science and technology development in China

First, the stage characteristics of China's scientific and technological development After 30 years of reform and opening up, China's scientific and technological development has stood at a new historical starting point and presented a series of new stage characteristics. Generally speaking, there are three main points. First, China's total input and output of science and technology began to enter a period of rapid growth. In the new century, the development of science and technology has been accelerated, especially since the establishment of independent innovation strategy, the total input and output of science and technology have shown a high-speed growth trend. In the past two years, China's total input and output of science and technology, except the United States and Japan, have been comparable to some developed countries, and some even higher than some developed countries. In 2006, the total amount of scientific and technological human resources in China was about 38 million, ranking first in the world; In 2006, there were 65,438+500,000 R&D personnel, including 65,438+220,000 scientists and engineers, ranking second in the world. According to the exchange rate of that year, China's R&D investment (300.3 billion yuan) ranked sixth in the world in 2006 after the United States, Japan, Germany, France and Britain, and reached 366.4 billion yuan in 2007. In 2007, China National Intellectual Property Administration accepted 694,000 patent applications and granted 35 1000 patents, ranking among the top in the world. In 2007, the total number of SCI, EI and ISTP papers in China reached 2 1.8 million, ranking second in the world. The development of science and technology in China is large in scale and fast. In recent years, the growth rate of major input-output indicators has greatly exceeded the GDP growth rate and is much higher than that of major developed countries. In the past five years, the average annual growth rate of R&D investment in China has been above 20%. In 2007, the number of patent applications increased by more than 20%, and the number of patent authorizations increased by more than 30%.
