Zhang Yansheng: “The 14th Five-Year Plan” technological innovation must avoid the Samuelson trap
Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of China International Economic Exchange Center.
On April 15, at the “New Development Pattern and the Big Trend of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan-2021 Xinjing Think Tank Spring Summit”, Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China International Economic Exchange Center, said that basic research is in science and technology. Occupies an important position in development. He believes that my country’s basic research funding will increase significantly, and in the next two to three decades, my country’s basic research funding will reach the level of developed countries in the world.
In the next ten years, my country’s basic research investment will be significantly more powerful
Zhang Yansheng proposed that the important role of technological innovation in promoting the conversion of new and old kinetic energy can be seen from three aspects. One is the scale and intensity of R&D investment in the whole society; the second is the growth of effective invention patent authorization; the third is the growth of total labor productivity or total factor productivity. From the perspective of R&D investment, in the past five years, the growth rate of R&D expenditure in China has remained above 10%; in 2020, the total scale of R&D expenditure in the whole society will reach 2.44 trillion yuan, and my country has developed relatively fast in scientific and technological innovation.
The “14th Five-Year Plan” technological innovation and kinetic energy conversion have entered a new stage of development. At this stage, funding for basic research will increase rapidly. At present, my country’s basic research funding investment is still on a very flat growth curve. In the next ten years, investment in basic research will be significantly increased. In the next 20 to 30 years, my country’s investment in basic research will reach the level of developed countries in the world.
Science and technology competition between China and the United States is a global competition for talents and a comprehensive competition in the industry chain.
Zhang Yansheng said that China’s technological innovation must transform the technological competition between China and the United States into incentives for China’s science and technology. Powerful motivation for innovation.
The “14th Five-Year Plan” outlines scientific and technological innovation as the first driving force and core position. One of the focuses is to promote all-round open cooperation and innovation. From this perspective, during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, it is necessary to strengthen all-round international cooperation, strengthen the self-reliance of scientific and technological innovation, and establish an incentive mechanism for scientific and technological innovation and an ecosystem of scientific and technological innovation. These are critical to my country’s future scientific and technological development.
Zhang Yansheng said that the competition between China and the United States in scientific and technological innovation is not only reflected in the basic research of scientific and technological innovation, applied basic research, common technology platform to development and experimental research, but also in talents. Global competition and full-scale competition in the industrial chain. If my country wants to overcome the development trap, it must attach importance to basic research on technological innovation, establish and cultivate world-class universities, first-class scientific research institutes, first-class enterprises, first-class brands, etc., and push my country’s innovation chain to the forefront of the world.
Next, my country’s scientific and technological innovation will accelerate as the Sino-US scientific and technological competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, in the competition of technological capabilities between China and the United States, how to promote all-round international cooperation, how to attract global talents, to build a more dynamic and creative world brain, and to promote my country’s technological innovation, is now a need for in-depth thinking and solutions. .
On the other hand, how to avoid falling into the “Samuelson Trap” for China’s technological innovation and kinetic energy conversion is a question worthy of in-depth consideration in the 14th Five-Year Plan period for technological innovation and kinetic energy conversion. The advancement of my country’s technological structure, industrial structure, and trade structure will form more and more competitions with the United States, Europe, and Japan.
In this regard, during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, how did my country’s technology, industry, and trade progress form a higher level of complementarity with the United States, Japan and Europe, forming a “I will not move your core cheese, you I can’t touch my core cheese”, thus forming the basis for cooperation between the two parties.
Science and technology innovation will be a new bright spot in the beginning of the “14th Five-Year Plan”
We must adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall modernization drive, improve the invention achievements of scientific and technological personnel, and grind one by ten years. The spirit of the sword has achieved major breakthroughs in key core areas. The “14th Five-Year Plan” has begun. Whether it is basic research and development or technical research, it is very critical to go one step at a time.
As can be seen from the 2020 Global Innovation Index, my country’s progress is very fast. At the beginning of the “14th Five-Year Plan”, a key point is that science has become more and more important.
Science and technology innovation will be a new bright spot in the beginning of the “14th Five-Year Plan”. It is believed that as time goes by, economic momentum will gradually change to innovation-driven, from OEM to independent intellectual property rights. Our country will move to the forefront of technological innovation step by step. It is believed that my country will have a very large all-round development starting from the 14th Five-Year Plan.
