A symbol of a country's scientific and technological strength: original innovation
Innovation is the first driving force to lead economic and social development and one of the decisive factors for the rise and fall of a country. Throughout the history of the world, the United States, Britain, Germany, France and other western developed countries have seized the opportunities of previous scientific and technological revolutions, led technological changes and industrial development by relying on original innovation, and stepped into the ranks of world powers.
Relying on Newton's discovery of the laws of mechanics, Faraday's discovery of the laws of electromagnetism, Watt's invention of the steam engine and other major theoretical and technological innovations, Britain first realized industrialization, and then established its position as the world economic center and science and technology center at that time.
With Einstein's discovery of the theory of relativity, the Wright brothers' invention of the airplane, Bell's invention of the commercial telephone and shockley's invention of the semiconductor, the United States has rapidly developed into the world's number one power.
Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China's economy and society have made great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, including the hard work, sweat and outstanding contributions made by the vast number of scientific and technological workers in the front line of scientific research. The experience and lessons of modern history tell us that only by insisting on innovation-driven development and leading all-round innovation with scientific and technological innovation can we embark on a new development path with strong science and technology, strong industry and strong country.
