Chinese leader Xi Jinping has said his country faces several shortcomings in its race to global technological power, admitting its innovation is “relatively weak” and its scientists are overworked.
True, Xi said at a national convention in Beijing on Tuesday that China’s clinical industries are strong.
But he also highlighted the obvious demanding situations and suggested that the country focus on technological growth, which he said is now the “main battleground of foreign competition. “
“Although the country’s clinical and technological progression has made wonderful progress, its initial innovation functions are still weak,” Xi said.
Xi addressed innovation 55 times in his speech on Tuesday, emphasizing this point while talking about synthetic intelligence, quantum technology, biotechnology and new energy.
And China’s technological advances are too scattered among corporations and sectors for Xi’s liking. He says they suffer from a “low degree of organization and coordination” that he wants to address.
The key to its cutting-edge technique lies in the concept of a China that embraces its autonomy – a theme not unusual in all its ideologies – especially as tensions with the West rise.
“The clinical and technological revolution and the struggle between superpowers are closely linked,” Xi said.
While he did not call out the United States, Xi said it was transparent that China would have to know how “some key technologies are controlled through others. “
The statement comes as the United States threatened to impose harsher sanctions on several Chinese chipmakers linked to Huawei and blocked the sale of complex semiconductors for the advancement of synthetic intelligence technology.
Last week, the United States Treasury Department called China a “country of concern” and proposed new regulations to restrict foreign investment in “the next generation of military, intelligence, surveillance, or cybersecurity functions that pose dangers to the national security of the United States. “
Xi also said China suffers from a shortage of manpower and skills in generation and science. Researchers still worry about “heavy non-academic burdens” such as the bureaucracy of publishing papers, tedious paintings in official reports and the demand for resources, he said.
He added that China deserves its “incentive formulas,” such as offering greater rewards for science and generation and a fairer salary formula for workers and researchers.
While the United States is in the midst of its own tech boom, thanks in part to giants like OpenAI, Nvidia, Amazon, and Microsoft, Business Insider has reported in the past that Chinese tech chiefs are increasing pressure on staff following the loss of roughly $1. 3 trillion in market price for the country’s five largest tech corporations since 2021.
The Chinese government has been specifically focused on advancing synthetic intelligence technology. BI reported in the past that an April report from Microsoft indicated that social media accounts connected to China planned to use AI-generated media to influence elections in the United States.
With all that said on Tuesday, it’s clear that Xi needs China to be more than just a major player in technology: he needs the country to dominate it.
“We want to maintain our sense of urgency. We want to go further in our innovation efforts,” Mr Xi said. “Occupy the heights of clinical and technological festival and long-term development. “
