The Supreme Leader’s Two Views on Independent Innovation and Open Innovation in Eight Days

  Following the detailed discussion of independent innovation and open innovation at the symposium on network security and informatization on April 19, the Supreme Leader once again expounded the relationship between independent innovation and open innovation when talking with scientific and technological personnel at the Institute of Advanced Technology of the University of Science and Technology of China on April 26, and he pointed out: "China’s economy has reached its present size, and it is unsustainable for scientific and technological innovation to rely entirely on foreign countries. We unswervingly adhere to the strategy of opening up, but we must promote independent innovation in opening up. " How to correctly handle the relationship between openness and innovation, independent innovation and open innovation is a major issue in China’s current economic and social development, so General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made two expositions within eight days. Please learn with "Learn China".

  First, the core technology is based on independent innovation

  Core technologies can’t be bought, exchanged or sought, so we must innovate independently.What is the core technology? The Supreme Leader gave a complete definition at the symposium on network security and informatization held on April 19th. He pointed out: "First, basic technology and general technology. Second, asymmetric technology, ‘ Killer ’ Technology. The third is cutting-edge technology and subversive technology. " If the core technology is controlled by people, we have no security and initiative. The Supreme Leader pointed out: "If the core components are heavily dependent on foreign countries, the supply chain will be ‘ Mingmen ’ In the hands of others, it is like building a house on the wall of others. No matter how big and beautiful it is, it may not stand the wind and rain, or even be vulnerable. " The supreme leader stressed: "Only by mastering the core technology in our own hands can we truly grasp the initiative of competition and development and fundamentally guarantee the national economic security, national defense security and other security. You can’t always dress up your own tomorrow with someone else’s yesterday. You can’t always rely on other people’s scientific and technological achievements to improve your own scientific and technological level, let alone be a technical vassal of other countries and always follow others. We have no other choice but to take the road of independent innovation. "

  How to make a breakthrough in core technology?The supreme leader pointed out at the symposium on network security and informatization: "To make a breakthrough in core technologies, we must have determination, perseverance and focus." He further elaborated: "With determination, we should establish the ambition of tenacious struggle and hard work, unswervingly implement the innovation-driven development strategy, invest more manpower, material resources and financial resources in core technology research and development, gather elite forces and make strategic arrangements. Perseverance means to formulate a strategic outline for the development of core technologies and equipment in the information field, formulate road maps, timetables and task books, define short-term, medium-term and long-term goals, follow the technical laws, advance in stages, categories and stages, and insist that Qingshan will not relax. To have a focus is to base ourselves on China’s national conditions, face the world’s scientific and technological frontier, face the country’s major needs, face the main battlefield of the national economy, closely focus on climbing the strategic commanding heights, strengthen the deployment of tasks in important areas and key links, and make clear the direction and focus. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve results after spending a lot of money and investing a lot of resources. "

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader also discussed the measures to promote independent innovation from three aspects.First, concentrate on doing great things in scientific research investment.The Supreme Leader pointed out: "In recent years, we have invested a lot of money in core technology research and development, but the effect is not obvious. I think the main problem is that good steel is not used in the blade. We must focus on the core technologies that the country urgently needs to break through, clench our fists and persevere. "Second, actively promote the transformation of core technological achievements.The Supreme Leader pointed out: "To develop technology, we must use it. In the field of global information, the ability to integrate innovation chain, industrial chain and value chain is increasingly becoming the key to success. The final result of core technology research and development should not only be technical reports, scientific research papers and laboratory samples, but also be market products, technical strength and industrial strength. The core technology is separated from its industrial chain, value chain and ecosystem. If the upstream and downstream are not connected, it may be a waste of time. " He stressed: "After a certain range of argumentation, what should be used should be used. It is natural that some problems appear in the application of new technologies and new products introduced by ourselves. Can continue to improve in the process of use, and constantly improve the quality. If everyone doesn’t use it, it is to report a project to complete the report and then put it on the shelf, which will never develop. "Third, promote strong alliances and collaborative research.The Supreme Leader pointed out: "To fight the tough battle of core technology research and development, we must not only blow up the assault number, but also blow up the assembly number, that is, we must gather the strongest forces to work together to form a commando team and special forces to tackle key problems. We are far from the international advanced level in core technology. A prominent reason is that our backbone enterprises have not formed synergies like Microsoft, Intel, Google and Apple. " He stressed: "In the research and development of core technologies, the effect of strong alliance is better than that of going it alone. We should come up with some measures in this regard to completely get rid of the shackles of departmental interests and portal opinions. Holding the idea that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, and holding the idea that you own an acre of three points, it is difficult to achieve results. "

  "Day by day, not afraid of thousands of miles; Do it often, not afraid of thousands of things. " Under the national innovation-driven strategy, as long as the vast number of entrepreneurs, experts, scholars and scientific and technological personnel are firm in their ambitions of independent innovation, unite and make unremitting efforts, we will certainly be able to make breakthroughs in core technologies and control the "life gate" in our own hands. The Supreme Leader pointed out: "We can’t have any illusions about introducing high and new technologies, and core technologies, especially national defense technology, can’t be bought with money. People regard the core technology as ‘ Dinghai Shenzhen ’ 、‘ Two instruments ’ How can it be provided to you? "

  Second, use global resources to open up and innovate

  Opening brings progress, while closing leads to backwardness; Innovation brings vitality, while conservatism leads to decay. The Supreme Leader pointed out: "Reform and opening up is a long-term, arduous and arduous undertaking, which must be carried on by generations." The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward five new development concepts: innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. For China, which is on the road to rejuvenation, opening up and innovation are always on the road, only when they are carried out, but not when they are completed. Therefore, we must handle the relationship between independent innovation and open innovation. The Supreme Leader pointed out: "We emphasize independent innovation, and we never want to engage in innovation behind closed doors. Under the background of the deepening development of economic globalization, the flow of innovative resources is accelerating around the world, and the economic and scientific ties between countries are closer. It is impossible for any country to solve all the innovation problems by its own efforts. It is necessary to deepen international exchanges and cooperation, make full use of global innovation resources, promote independent innovation at a higher starting point, and work together with the international scientific and technological community to make due contributions to meeting common global challenges. "

  We should embrace global innovation with an open mind.The Supreme Leader pointed out: "We don’t reject any new technology. New technology is the result of the development of human civilization. As long as it is conducive to improving China’s social productivity and improving people’s lives, we don’t reject it."

  We should adhere to the differentiated open innovation strategy, distinguish different situations, adopt different ways to open innovation, and adhere to the open innovation method of "opening a lock with one key".The Supreme Leader pointed out: "The problem is to find out what can be imported but must be safe and controllable, which can be imported, digested and re-innovated, which can be developed in cooperation with others, and which must be independently innovated by our own strength." First, it is necessary to distinguish what can and cannot be introduced, and what can be introduced must also be safe and controllable. The Supreme Leader pointed out: "Throughout the ages, many technologies are ‘ Double-edged sword ’ On the one hand, it can benefit society and people, on the other hand, it can also be used by some people to harm social public interests and people’s interests. " We must introduce new technologies under the premise of safety and control. Second, after the introduction, we should distinguish which ones can be innovated again and which ones can be developed in cooperation with others. The so-called re-innovation includes "further analysis and research on the structure, formula, principle and data of imported technology, and application of imported technology to similar products or other products, so as to develop new products and technologies, and its technical level is basically equivalent to or slightly improved. On the basis of imported technology, we will gradually improve and innovate, that is, the product structure, process method and material formula have changed greatly, the performance has been significantly improved, the principle and mechanism have made new breakthroughs, and it has the world’s advanced technology level. " The Supreme Leader pointed out: "We must focus on improving the ability of independent innovation and accelerate the promotion of major national science and technology projects.We will further promote knowledge innovation and technological innovation, enhance the ability of original innovation, integrated innovation and introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation, and continuously achieve fundamental, strategic and original major achievements. "

  Third, adhere to the dialectical unity of independent innovation and open innovation

  In the process of insisting on innovation and development, we can’t just insist on independent innovation and ignore open innovation; We should not only insist on open innovation, but also ignore independent innovation. We should dialectically handle the relationship between independent innovation and open innovation.

  First of all, we should adhere to the dialectical unity of independent innovation and open innovation in ideological understanding.The supreme leader pointed out: "We should not underestimate ourselves, have no confidence in the ability of independent innovation, underestimate the achievements of independent innovation, follow suit and dare not surpass it;" You can’t be arrogant, lack an open-minded attitude, be complacent, and be arrogant. "Secondly, we should adhere to the dialectical unity of independent innovation and open innovation in the R&D process.The Supreme Leader pointed out: "Now, there are two views on technological development that deserve attention. One view is that we should close the door, start a new stove, completely get rid of dependence on foreign technology, and seek development by independent innovation, otherwise we will always run behind others and never catch up. Another view is that we should open up and innovate and develop our own technology on the shoulders of giants, otherwise we will not catch up. Both of these views have some truth, but they are also absolute, and there is no dialectical view of the problem. On the one hand, the core technology is the heavy weapon of the country, and the most critical and core technology should be based on independent innovation and self-reliance. The market can’t change the core technology, and money can’t buy the core technology. We must rely on our own research and development and development. On the other hand, we emphasize independent innovation, not behind closed doors to engage in research and development, but must adhere to open innovation. Only by dealing with masters can we know the gap and not be arrogant. "Thirdly, we should adhere to the dialectical unity of independent innovation and open innovation in the strategy of opening to the outside world.The Supreme Leader pointed out: "Under the conditions of globalization, informationization and networking, the elements of innovation are more open and mobile, and innovation cannot be carried out behind closed doors. Adhere to ‘ Bring in ’ And ‘ Go out ’ Combine and actively integrate into the global innovation network to comprehensively improve the level of international cooperation in China’s scientific and technological innovation. "

  When talking with students from the University of Science and Technology of China, the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Our mind is open and inclusive. Happiness does not come from the sky. The achievements made by the people of China are remarkable. Don’t sell yourself short, and at the same time strive for self-improvement. " "The spirit of innovation is the most distinctive gift of the Chinese nation", and opening to the outside world is our long-term basic national policy. We should further open up in independent innovation and realize a higher level of independent innovation in open innovation.
