China Urges Faster Overhaul of National Innovation System to Boost 'New Quality Productive Forces'
加快提升国家创新体系整体效能
A commentary in Guangming Daily, republished by People's Daily Online, argues that China must accelerate the integration of its national innovation system. The author, a researcher at a Shanghai Party think tank, contends that fragmented, decentralized innovation models are no longer sufficient for achieving technological self-reliance. The piece calls for consolidating resources under a 'new-type nationwide system,' strengthening the role of enterprises, and deepening the fusion of education, science, and talent development.
