(Central News Agency, Taipei, May 10th) Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang recently visited the chip laboratory of Chinese technology giant Huawei for investigation and exchanged views with Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei. Ding Xuexiang stated that it is necessary to improve the level of basic research and original innovation capabilities, and to encourage leading scientific and technological enterprises to dare to make "from 0 to 1" original breakthroughs.
CCTV's News Broadcast program on the evening of the 8th aired footage of Ding Xuexiang visiting Huawei's Lianqiuhu R&D Center in Shanghai and exchanging views with Ren Zhengfei at the chip basic technology research laboratory.
However, CCTV did not disclose the specific content of their conversation.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Ding Xuexiang's visit to Huawei was part of his recent investigations into basic research in Fujian, Shanghai, and Beijing.
Ding Xuexiang also visited other locations such as Chinese new energy battery giant CATL, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Huairou National Laboratory.
During his investigation, Ding Xuexiang pointed out that it is necessary to leverage the advantages of the new national system, with the perseverance and tenacity of "ten years of grinding a sword," to improve China's basic research level and original innovation capabilities.
He called on leading scientific and technological enterprises to dare to make "from 0 to 1" original breakthroughs, pay more attention to solving technical problems from the source and bottom layer, and consolidate their leading position in the industry by enhancing basic research capabilities.
Ding Xuexiang mentioned that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China convened a symposium on strengthening basic research on April 30th, which is an important milestone in China's scientific and technological development.
At that symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping said that basic research is the source of the entire scientific system and the general headquarters for all technical problems. It is necessary to strengthen basic research with greater efforts and more practical measures, improve China's original innovation capabilities, and further lay a solid foundation for building a strong scientific and technological nation.
In addition, the official website of China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on the 9th that Zheng Shanjie, Director of the NDRC, recently visited the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to conduct a special investigation into the development of artificial intelligence (AI).
Zheng Shanjie stated that it is necessary to strengthen overall planning and top-level design, leverage the advantages of national strategic scientific and technological forces such as national laboratories, strengthen basic research in artificial intelligence, improve original innovation capabilities, promote key core technology breakthroughs across the entire chain, and make forward-looking deployments for frontier exploration.
