BEIJING, March 11,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, several mainstream
international media outlets have expressed admiration for
China's technological progress.
For example, Bloomberg said the AI boom sparked by DeepSeek has
injected "new energy" into the two sessions; CNN focused on
China's upcoming establishment of
a national venture capital guidance fund to "support technological
innovation"; and the BBC discussed China's cultivation of tech talent by
featuring stories such as an 8-year-old boy in Beijing playing chess against AI and the
introduction of general AI courses in Beijing's primary and secondary schools.
Nikkei Asia reported that by 2025, China's mature chip production capacity will
account for about 28 percent of the global market. Increasingly,
the global consensus on China's
development is that the next "China" is still China - a better China.
For the "explosive" technological breakthroughs, foreign media
have been asking, "How did China
manage to do it?" Chinese technological development is not achieved
overnight. It results from long-term strategic planning and precise
policies at the national level, a strong societal atmosphere that
respects knowledge and champions innovation, the innovative
practices of countless companies increasing their R&D
investments, and the dedicated spirit of generations of
professionals willing to "sit on the sidelines." The "spectacular
rise" China is experiencing in the
eyes of the international media is not a brief firework display but
a story of bursting from the accumulated strength. As China's economic, technological, and overall
national power continues to grow, this "innovation forest" will
only flourish further.
China's comprehensive
industrial system provides a solid foundation for technological
innovation, while its enormous market of more than 1.4 billion
people serves both as a "stress test" for technological iteration
and a "value amplifier" for innovation. The multidimensional
improvement in population quality and talent pipelines, combined
with strong support from national policies, capital, and
infrastructure, has together forged the robust core of a
"high-quality development China."
For example, the swift and efficient deployment of AI applications
in China relies heavily on strong
investments in 5G networks, cloud computing, and big data centers.
China's infrastructure is like a
high-speed expressway that enables innovation to accelerate more
quickly and steadily. Similarly, the achievements stemming from the
innovative practices of private enterprises benefit from the
positive interaction between various levels of government and
businesses. As Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun
said during his interview at the two sessions "deputies' passage,"
"I feel deeply the care and support from the Central Committee of
the Communist Party of China for
private enterprises, and this has greatly boosted our
confidence."
In the recently approved 2025 Government Work Report at the two
sessions, "high quality" is a keyword that has been repeatedly
emphasized. The report explicitly states that "high quality
development" is the "top priority" to be focused on, and we need to
place equal emphasis on winning through quality and economic
scale.
It sets high quality requirements in various specific fields,
such as "advancing the high quality development of high standard
cropland," "accelerating high quality development of key industrial
chains in the manufacturing sector," and "moving faster to build a
high quality education system." At the same time, high quality is
also defined as the means to achieve policy goals, for example, "to
encourage local governments to foster new sources of revenue in
pursuing high quality development," and "to steer and generate
demand through high quality supply." This year will continue to
promote the "AI+" initiative, consumer electronics, and other
products, demonstrating China's
determination and action in "steering demand through high quality
supply."
From the accumulation of quantity to the advancement of quality,
along with the value-driven leap in China's development logic, a China marked by "high quality" is injecting
more confidence into the world.
The global tech community has been amazed by DeepSeek, the
Xiaomi SU7 Ultra prototype has made a dazzling debut on the
Nürburgring Nordschleife, Black Myth: Wukong has opened new doors
for China's AAA gaming industry on
the international stage, and Ne Zha 2 continues to make waves in
the global cinema market.
Beyond these well-known success stories, high quality
development has permeated all aspects of China's industries and daily life. In
Fujian's Zhangzhou pineapple
farms, precision flowering control technology has boosted yields
per mu by 2,000 jin (1,000 kg). At Shougang's cold-rolled
galvanized steel production line, the agile arms of the
slag-scooping robot have made the risks of manual labor a thing of
the past, enhancing worker safety and happiness. And when visiting
the Great Wall, ordering a drone-delivered coffee has become a
reality, showcasing the everyday benefits of China's booming low-altitude economy.
The executive vice president of Siemens stated that the next
"China" is still China, but it will be a "different"
China. This "difference" refers to
a "better China" that is firmly
advancing on the path of high quality development. The deeper
driving force behind China's high
quality development lies in the organic integration of "independent
innovation" and "opening-up and inclusiveness."
The Chang'e-6 mission, carrying international payloads, provides
a broad platform for global scientific collaboration. The
China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite helps safeguard the ecology
of the Amazon rainforest. DeepSeek's open-source technology
approach has accelerated the widespread adoption of AI globally,
earning it the reputation of being a true "OpenAI."
A "better China" is promoting
the creation of a broader innovation community based on principles
of inclusivity and shared benefits, offering development
opportunities to the world.
