On August 2nd, China Daily reported that the level of technological innovation determines a country's development momentum, and innovation cannot be separated from basic research. According to an article published on Nihon Keizai Shimbun. com on the second day, in recent years, Chinese researchers have been engaged in exploratory research to open up new fields and constantly open up new fields. However, Japan adheres to existing research fields and lacks a new attitude of exploration.

Recently, the Science and Technology and Academic Policy Research Institute of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology released a survey report on the "Science Map". The report investigated the citation relationships of important papers ranked in the top 1% of citations by other papers in major fields such as clinical medicine and physics.

The number of areas of focus for this study is 919. Among them, the top 1% of important papers with citations come from 605 fields in China. China's proportion has grown significantly, especially with strong influence in high-tech fields such as nanoscience and artificial intelligence. In the 2008 survey, Japan accounted for 41%, reaching its peak, and this time it dropped to 31%. Britain and Germany account for about 50%.

"China has a strong and active research foundation, and can even create a research field in its own country," said Ishin Masayoshi, the head of the Research Center

The survey subdivides the research field into four types: large-scale, traditional themed "continental type"; Small scale, fiercely changing, and expanding into new fields; The "peninsula type" and "island type" in the middle.

The survey found that the proportion of "small island" research areas in China has increased from 27% in the 2004 survey to 32%, while the proportion of "mainland" research areas has decreased from 33% to 23%.

The article states that China has always attached great importance to applied research, but since around 2015, a policy has been proposed to enrich the basic research of young researchers. In the future, China will also propose the goal of increasing the investment ratio. Not only in existing research fields, but also dedicated to fundamental research.

In fact, this year's government work report pointed out that China's basic research funding has doubled in five years. Official data shows that in 2022, China's basic research funding will continue to grow, and new breakthroughs will be made in original innovation.

Preliminary estimates show that in 2022, China's basic research expenditure will be 195.1 billion yuan, an increase of 7.4% compared to the previous year; The proportion of research and development funds is 6.32%, maintaining a level of over 6% for four consecutive years, which has played a positive role in continuously improving China's original innovation capabilities.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
