China”s ruling Communist Party announced on Thursday its commitment to accelerating self-reliance in the fields of science and technology. This decision emerges in response to what the party describes as “profound and complex” changes in the global landscape, along with increasing uncertainty.
The statement was made at the conclusion of a four-day gathering focused on shaping the country”s upcoming five-year economic strategy. The emphasis on self-reliance indicates a strategic shift as China navigates international challenges and seeks to reduce dependence on foreign technology and expertise.
This initiative reflects China”s broader aims to strengthen its domestic capabilities and foster innovation within its scientific community. By prioritizing self-sufficiency, the Communist Party is signaling its intention to bolster national security and economic resilience through advancements in technology and research.
As global dynamics continue to evolve, China”s focus on self-reliance could also influence its interactions with other nations, particularly in sectors critical to national interests.
