Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 31. The 15th issue of "Seeking Truth" published on August 1 will publish an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, "Strengthening Basic Research to Achieve High-level Science and Technology Self-reliance".

The article emphasizes that strengthening basic research is an urgent requirement for achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and is the only way to build a world science and technology powerhouse. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has placed a more prominent position on enhancing original innovation capabilities, successfully organizing a number of major basic research tasks, building a number of major scientific and technological infrastructure, and continuously emerging major original achievements in the forefront of basic research. At present, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, interdisciplinary integration is constantly advancing, scientific research paradigms are undergoing profound changes, science and technology and economic and social development are accelerating penetration and integration, basic research transformation cycle is significantly shortened, and international scientific and technological competition is moving towards the forefront of the foundation. To cope with international technological competition, achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, promote the construction of a new development pattern, and achieve high-quality development, it is urgent for us to strengthen basic research and solve key technological problems from the source and bottom.

The article points out that the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes the need to strengthen basic research, highlight originality, encourage free exploration, make strategic arrangements, and effectively implement them. Firstly, strengthen the forward-looking, strategic, and systematic layout of basic research. Basic research is at the beginning of the scientific research chain from research to application, and then to production. Only with a solid foundation can the science and technology industry building be built high. Strengthening basic research should highlight foresight and strategic demand orientation, optimize resource allocation and layout structure, and provide basic theoretical support and technological source supply for innovative development. Secondly, deepen the reform of the basic research system and mechanism. The world has entered the era of big science, and the degree of organization in basic research is increasing. Institutional guarantees and policy guidance have a greater impact on the output of basic research. We must optimize and refine the reform plan, and give full play to the value driven and strategic driving role of systems and policies. Thirdly, build a high-level support platform for basic research. In recent years, China has made great progress in building world-class scientific and technological journals, building a number of important tools for major countries, and building basic research support platforms. However, fundamentally solving the problem of "two ends outside" still has a long way to go. We need to collaborate to build a national laboratory system with Chinese characteristics, scientifically plan and layout major scientific and technological infrastructure that is forward-looking, strategic oriented, and application supported, and win the battle for the localization of scientific and technological instruments, operating systems, and basic software. Fourthly, strengthen the construction of the talent team for basic research. Strengthening basic research ultimately relies on high-level talents. In recent years, China has deeply implemented the strategy of building a strong talent country and deepened the reform of the talent system and mechanism, achieving significant results. However, there are still obvious shortcomings in the basic research talent team. We must make efforts to build a systematic and high-level platform for cultivating basic research talents, so that more basic research talents can emerge in competition. Fifth, extensively carry out international cooperation in basic research. Currently, international scientific and technological cooperation is facing the impact and challenges of unilateralism and protectionism from a few countries. To solve the problem of common development, humanity 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 adhere to a more open mindset and measures to expand international exchanges and cooperation in basic research, and create an open innovation ecosystem with global competitiveness. Sixth, shape an innovative ecosystem that is conducive to basic research. Conducting basic research requires both material security and spiritual motivation. The spirit of "Two Bombs and One Satellite", the spirit of westward migration, the spirit of manned spaceflight, the spirit of scientists, the spirit of exploring the moon, and the spirit of the Beidou in the new era, which have been forged by several generations of scientific and technological workers in China through continuous struggle, have jointly shaped the innovative ecology with Chinese characteristics and become an inexhaustible driving force to support the development of basic research. We must vigorously promote the scientific spirit of pursuing truth and climbing new heights in the whole society, strengthen the construction of national science popularization capacity, effectively promote the integration of science a

The article emphasizes that party committees and governments at all levels should include strengthening basic research in the important agenda of scientific and technological work, strengthen overall coordination, increase policy support, and promote high-quality development of basic research.
