The release of Huawei's new mobile phone immediately attracted widespread attention in the international community. According to comments from American technology media, suppressing Huawei seems to be counterproductive. It may temporarily hinder the development momentum of the company, but in the long run, it will drive Chinese companies to accelerate their pace of independent research and development.

In the US technological encirclement, China's technological innovation has always been steadily advancing. Sanctions, containment, and suppression will only enhance China's determination and ability for self-reliance and technological innovation.

On July 6th, a robot performed a shooting performance at the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Exhibition.

In recent years, the United States has abused its national power and continued to unreasonably suppress China's technology industry and supply chain. The release of Huawei's new mobile phone is widely interpreted by foreign media as an example of China's resistance to the United States' extreme suppression. According to an article in the National Interest magazine, the tightening of US technology export restrictions to China seems to have failed to prevent or slow down China's promotion of the most strategically influential artificial intelligence applications. There is currently no indication that the Biden administration's restrictions on high-end chip, software, and machine exports have slowed down China's dominant position in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. On the contrary, China's efforts around technology restrictions have made astonishing rapid progress.

The efforts and achievements of China's technological innovation are evident to all, and the enhancement of China's technological strength has made important contributions to global technological development and progress. Politicizing, weaponizing, and ideologizing technological issues, forming small groups, ultimately harms the interests of the entire world. The United States can temporarily slow down China's innovation pace through a bottleneck, but cannot block China from the high-tech competition circle in the long term. Sanctions have brought difficulties and also spurred innovation. In recent years, the domestic chip market demand in China has continued to release, and industrial technology has accelerated its evolution, gradually narrowing the gap with the world's advanced level. Driven by the huge market demand in China and the ability to quickly gather resources and talents, the return of Huawei smartphones is not surprising.

The development and progress of technology should serve the well-being of all humanity. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is booming. The new generation of information technology represented by the Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc. is developing with each passing day. It is accelerating its widespread penetration into various fields and promoting the in-depth development of economic globalization. At the same time, the world is facing many challenges today, and only through the joint efforts of all countries can we effectively respond to and solve the upcoming crisis. Technological innovation is an important force for humanity to jointly address risks and challenges. This requires countries around the world to uphold the concept of open cooperation, strengthen scientific and technological exchanges, create an open, fair, just, and non discriminatory environment for scientific and technological development, and enable scientific and technological innovation achievements to better serve the common well-being of all humanity, rather than creating "small courtyards and high walls" and monopolizing excessive profits.

On July 7th, the Yuan Radish AI chess robot played against the audience. The 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will be held in Shanghai from July 6th to 8th. A large number of products that integrate cutting-edge AI technology have made their debut, bringing a unique "talent show" to the audience.

In this context, Chinese technological innovation is benefiting the world in more and more fields. In the academic community, multiple research performance measurement standards in recent years have shown that the proportion of global research contributions is changing, with China's research contribution being particularly prominent. According to the Nature Index data released in May this year, Chinese authors made the greatest contribution to high-quality natural science research in 2022, ranking first in the share of papers published in high-quality journals for the first time, surpassing the United States. In the industry, Chinese enterprises are accelerating innovation driven development and continuously improving their independent innovation capabilities in technology, engineering, and industry. At the same time, they are actively sharing technological progress with other countries and seeking win-win development.

Science and technology cooperation is a necessary part of building a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced, and win-win economic globalization. The European diplomatic journal Modern Diplomacy points out that globalization and an open economy have been two key factors in human progress over the past few decades. When the world is leaping towards a knowledge-based economy, valuing and investing in human capital to promote economic development, adopting technological containment and suppression against China is damaging the generation and innovation of knowledge, which goes against promoting human technological progress and common well-being.

Faced with the hegemonic practices of individual countries attempting to restrict the development of their competitors, China will continue to be unafraid of suppression, take its own path of scientific and technological innovation, strive to promote international cooperation in scientific and technological innovation, work together with other countries to address common challenges and scientific challenges, and walk on the right path in the world.
