Selection of ＂Science and Technology Innovation 2030- Major Project＂： Quantum communication is listed.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 10th (Reporter Hu Zhe, Bai Guolong) After four rounds of argumentation by more than 1,000 high-level experts, 15 project proposals were condensed and formed, and the "Science and Technology Innovation 2030— Work arrangement for the implementation plan of major projects … … At the 2017 National Science and Technology Work Conference held on the 10th, Wan Gang, Vice Chairman of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Minister of Science and Technology, said that China’s "Science and Technology Innovation 2030— The selection of major projects has been officially confirmed, and the preparation of implementation plans for four major projects, quantum communication and quantum computer, brain science and brain-like research, deep-sea space station and integration of heaven and earth, has been fully launched.

　　In the first year of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", China’s scientific and technological strength and innovation ability have been further enhanced, and major scientific and technological achievements have been highlighted. The achievements of quantum communication, aerospace, deep-sea polar regions, supercomputing, and fourth-generation nuclear power are "resounding and numerous" in the world. According to the "three-step" strategic path mentioned in the Outline of National Innovation-Driven Development Strategy, China will enter the ranks of innovative countries in 2020, enter the forefront of innovative countries in 2030 and become a world science and technology power in 2050.

　　The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" is not only a key stage to achieve the first step, but also an important period to lay the foundation for the second and third steps. Wan Gang pointed out that compared with the goal of building a world science and technology power, we still have a big gap: the original innovation ability in important scientific and technological fields needs to be improved urgently, and there are relatively few key core technologies at the leading level; World-class universities, research institutes, innovative leading enterprises, top scientists and innovative entrepreneurs are not enough, and the development of innovation among regions is unbalanced. The supporting and leading role of scientific and technological innovation in economic and social development needs to be strengthened.

　　After years of savings, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is more and more clearly presented to us, and subversive technologies are constantly emerging. Wan Gang said that speeding up the implementation of a number of major projects that have a bearing on the overall situation and the long term will help China to catch up with and lead the new direction of world science and technology, grasp the strategic initiative of a new round of global science and technology competition, and realize the strategic transformation from running parallel to leading.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology, in accordance with the principle of "one policy", this "scientific and technological innovation 2030— Major projects will innovate organizational implementation methods, strengthen the dominant position of enterprises, and study and put forward policies, measures and incentive mechanisms to encourage local, enterprise and social forces to participate. At present, proposals for major projects such as deep exploration are being studied and demonstrated, and special plans for artificial intelligence are being accelerated.
