China ranks first in the world in human resources for science and technology

The Ministry of Science and Technology has recently submitted a report on China's scientific and technological strength after investigation. If you arrange a series of data in the report, it is a "detailed list" to measure China's scientific and technological strength——

China has become a veritable powerhouse of scientific and technological human resources. At present, the total number of scientific and technological human resources is about 35 million, ranking first in the world; in 2006, the total number of research and development personnel in China was 1.42 million, second only to the United States, ranking second in the world.

The scale of investment in science and technology has continued to grow and the intensity of investment has continued to increase, and it has become an important force in global R&D investment. In 2006, the total social expenditure on science and technology was 450 billion yuan, and the total social research and development expenditure was 300.31 billion yuan, ranking fifth in the world.

Preliminarily have the basic conditions to support the development of science and technology. Scientific research bases such as national laboratories and national key laboratories have reached the level of similar international laboratory equipment, and have formed a relatively complete system of basic scientific and technological conditions including research experimental bases, large-scale scientific instruments, natural scientific and technological resources, scientific data, and scientific and technological documents. At or close to the world advanced level.

The level of creation and development of intellectual property rights has increased substantially. After more than 20 years of hard work, China has established a relatively complete intellectual property protection system, among which the number of trademark, utility model and design patent applications has ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. In 2006, China's invention patent applications ranked fourth in the world.

Basic research and cutting-edge technological innovation capabilities have been significantly enhanced. The world ranking of the total number of international papers in China has risen from the 15th place in 1991 to the current 4th place, accounting for 7% of the total number of papers in the three major international retrieval systems (referring to SCI, EI, ISTP), entering the second square in the world. , comparable to Britain, Germany, and Japan. In the field of cutting-edge technology, a number of core technologies have been broken through, a large number of independent intellectual property rights have been obtained, and manned spaceflight, super hybrid rice, high-performance computers, ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, third-generation international standards for mobile communications, and advanced national defense weapons and equipment have emerged. and a number of major independent innovation achievements.

Enterprises become the main force of technological innovation. Private technology enterprises have grown from more than 7,000 20 years ago to 150,595 in 2006.

The scale of high-tech industries is already at a relatively high level in the world. At present, the total output value of China's high-tech industries has reached 3,436.7 billion yuan, contributing 15.5% to the growth of the total output value of the manufacturing industry. In 2006, the total import and export of high-tech products reached 528.75 billion US dollars.
