Strengthen basic research to achieve high level scientific and technological self-reliance

Fifth, we need to conduct extensive international cooperation in basic research. At present, international science and technology cooperation is facing the impact and challenge of unilateralism and protectionism of a few countries. To solve the problem of common development, mankind needs international cooperation and open sharing more than ever before. No country can become an independent innovation center or enjoy the fruits of innovation alone. China should continue to expand international exchanges and cooperation in basic research with more open thinking and measures, and foster an open innovation ecosystem with global competitiveness.

We need to build a platform for international cooperation in basic research, lead the implementation of major international science programs and projects, set up global scientific research funds, make national science and technology programs more open to the outside world, and expand and deepen joint scientific research with foreign countries on global issues such as climate change, energy security, biosecurity and the use of outer space. It is necessary to make forward-looking plans and deeply participate in global science and technology governance, participate in or initiate the establishment of international science and technology organizations, support domestic universities, research institutes and science and technology organizations in connecting with the world, and improve laws and regulations, ethical review rules and regulatory frameworks. We should dare to struggle and be good at struggle, strive to promote openness, trust and cooperation in the international scientific and technological community, make new and greater contributions to the progress of human civilization with more major original innovations and breakthroughs in key core technologies, and effectively safeguard our scientific and technological security interests.

Sixth, we need to create an innovation ecosystem conducive to basic research. To carry out basic research needs both material guarantee and spiritual motivation. Generations of Chinese science and technology workers, through the spirit of "two bombs and one star", the spirit of westward migration, the spirit of manned space flight, the spirit of scientists, the spirit of lunar exploration, and the spirit of Beidou in the new era, have shaped the innovation ecology with Chinese characteristics and become the inexhaustible driving force for basic research and development.

We should vigorously promote the scientific spirit of pursuing truth and reaching new heights throughout society, widely publicize advanced examples and deeds that have emerged in scientific and technological fields such as basic research, educate and guide scientific and technological workers to carry forward the glorious tradition of scientists of the older generation of serving the country and caring for the people, and write their papers on the land of the motherland. We will apply the results of scientific research to the great cause of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. It is necessary to strengthen the national capacity for science popularization, carry out in-depth actions to improve the scientific quality of the whole people, disseminate scientific knowledge online and offline through multiple channels, showcase scientific and technological achievements, and foster a social trend of loving and advocating science. It is necessary to effectively promote the integration of science and education, do a good job in science education in the "double reduction" of education, sow the seeds of science, stimulate young people's curiosity, imagination and desire to explore, and cultivate young people who have the potential of scientists and are willing to devote themselves to scientific research.

Party committees and governments at all levels should put strengthening basic research into the important agenda of science and technology work, strengthen overall coordination, increase policy support, and promote the high-quality development of basic research. Leading cadres at all levels should learn scientific and technological knowledge, carry forward the scientific spirit, take the initiative to solve problems for scientific and technological workers, relieve constraints and lighten burdens, and encourage them to implement a series of strategic plans of the Party Central Committee on scientific and technological innovation.
