——People's Netizen 13***0

DeepSeek, humanoid robot, "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble", mentions these recent phenomenal innovations, and many people like to use one word: emergence.

Is this really true?

Look at the facts: "Nezha: The Devil Child's Trouble" has been full of success in five years, and some shots have taken eight or nine months; Yushu robot made a stunning appearance on the Spring Festival Gala, and engineers carefully debugged for 3 months, which is behind more than 10 years of technological accumulation; DeepSeek has only been established for two years, but the backbone personnel have tracked the forefront of artificial intelligence for nearly 20 years.

The birth of startups such as "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" is not a matter of time. Embrace new things, don’t do it in a "stop swarm", and identify the right things, and do it unswervingly. Gather resources such as talents, laboratories and other resources to create a "tropical rainforest" ecology; encourage enterprises to explore and trial and error, launch unsecured technology and financial products; and cultivate a business environment that "no troubles without any trouble and will respond to all requests". If you persevere, the "hidden dragon" will eventually become a "little dragon".

The amazing success is also due to the continuous layout and deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. Take artificial intelligence as an example: issue a national plan, carry out the "Artificial Intelligence +" action, release application scenarios, and promote accelerated iteration of technology. Strengthen talent training, support enterprises, universities and institutes to build laboratories together, and combine them with precision and strength. As of June last year, the scale of my country's core artificial intelligence industry was nearly 600 billion yuan. The innovation "soil" is fertile, and big models and robots "grow" with the flow.

From this point of view, innovation that seems to be emerging is inseparable from its own efforts, ecological cultivation, and policy support. It is the result of various innovation elements being put into practice, accumulated over time, and resonance with the same frequency.

Netizens asked "How long will this innovation momentum last?", expressing their concern for my country's scientific and technological innovation.

Look at reality: DeepSeek is not a leader, but it is not a big hit. Many domestic artificial intelligence models are competing for beauty and each is good at winning the game. There are more than one humanoid robot that is popular. In the field of robot industry, my country currently has more than 190,000 valid patents, which is almost 2/3 of the world. Another footnote is that my country ranked first in the world in the top 100 scientific and technological innovation clusters last year. In different fields, more and more Chinese innovators are moving towards the top of the pyramid, not "one tree stands out" but "the garden is full of spring".

Hangzhou's "Six Little Dragons", Chengdu's "Nezha", Shenzhen Huawei and BYD, Beijing Zhongguancun, Yangtze River Delta G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor, Hefei Science Island, Wuhan Optics Valley... Looking at China's innovation map, there are popular "check-in" places everywhere.

After the "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" became popular, many cities have sought to solve the code of nurturing innovation. Some foreign media said that Chinese local governments have now turned the improvement of the business environment into a "friendly competition of chasing each other."

Where does the momentum come from when phenomenal innovation come from and where will the future go? You might as well observe from three perspectives.

Develop potential in institutional advantages. R&D investment is increasing year by year, the team of high-quality talents is growing, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is becoming smoother, and the innovative role of private enterprises is becoming more and more prominent... We will continue to promote innovation, and aim wherever there are shortcomings. Continuous efforts and rapid progress along the right trend and direction. In 10 years, my country's global innovation index has climbed to eleventh, making it one of the economies with the fastest increase in innovation.

Innovative culture fosters motivation. Opening this year's "Government Work Report", "innovation" is a high-frequency word. Education, science and technology, and talents are all working together to inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture, absorb the past and nourish the present, and innovate the "deepest national endowment of the Chinese nation" is constantly being inspired. Growing up in an era when looking at the world at the same time, the younger generation has a better foundation, a broader vision, and a more calm mind.

The process of tackling keys tempers self-confidence. After "Black Myth: Wukong" became popular, some netizens left a message: The most valuable thing about obtaining scriptures in the West is not the scriptures, but the experience, which is the 81 difficulties that Tang Monk and his disciples have experienced. From developing the "two bombs and one satellite" to building China's nuclear power, China's high-speed rail, and China's aircraft, facing challenges and being self-reliant and self-reliant, the time and momentum are on our side.

When talking about this, I can’t help but think of a scene. In a theater in New York, USA, a poster of "Nezha: The Devil Child's Fights the Sea" appeared between Marvel Characters and Harry Potter. This is an interesting image: on the global innovation stage, Chinese innovation breaks in like Nezha and walks into the spotlight.

Independent and self-reliant, harmonious and symbiosis, China's innovation is open and inclusive. Work hard and work hard for a long time. The most violent place of the storm will be the stage of "Nezha's turmoil in the sea" and "sky into the sky".

In the first quarter, a total of 58 new international air cargo routes were opened nationwide, with more than 123 round-trip flights added per week.
