The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Proposal on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Target for 2035, which was deliberated and adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, proposed that innovation should be the core of China's overall modernization, and scientific and technological autonomy should be the strategic support for national development, and it should be placed at the top of all planning tasks.

The general secretary stressed that accelerating scientific and technological innovation is the need to promote high-quality development, realize people's high-quality life, build a new pattern of development, and smoothly start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way; China's economic and social development and improvement of people's livelihood need scientific and technological solutions more than ever before, and both need to strengthen innovation as the first driving force. These "four needs" and "two more needs" are important conclusions made by the General Secretary with a profound insight into the general trend of development and changes at home and abroad and a scientific grasp of the main contradictions and changes in our society.

We must do a good job in innovative projects, adhere to the "four orientations", aim at key areas such as quantum information, integrated circuits, life and health, unremittingly strengthen basic research, fight hard for key core technologies, and constantly March into the breadth and depth of science and technology.
