Regenerative medicine uses stem cell technology to successfully cultivate a variety of human tissues and organs, providing abundant resources for transplant operations and greatly reducing the risk of post-transplant rejection. Microbiomics uses high-throughput sequencing technology to deeply analyze microbial communities and develop innovative treatments for specific diseases. More than 50 treatments are in the research and development stage. The advancement of biosensing technology has promoted the popularization of wearable devices and implantable sensors, with annual sales exceeding 100 million units, greatly improving the utilization efficiency of medical resources and the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment.
New energy technology: the leader in green transformation
China now occupies a leading position in the world in the field of new energy technology and is contributing to the world's green transformation. Its new energy installed capacity far exceeds that of Europe, with wind power installed capacity exceeding 350 million kilowatts and solar photovoltaic installed capacity exceeding 400 million kilowatts. Through continuous technological innovation, China has not only reduced the cost of generating electricity from new energy sources, but also significantly improved energy conversion efficiency. The cost of electricity per kilowatt hour of solar photovoltaic technology has dropped to approximately 0.3 yuan, making it a highly competitive energy option.
Quantum computing: the pioneer of future technology
In the frontier field of quantum computing, China has made a major breakthrough. The successful operation of the third-generation autonomous superconducting quantum computer "Origin Wukong", equipped with a 72-bit autonomous superconducting quantum chip "Wukong Core", marks that China has reached a new height in this field. Its computing power is millions of times that of traditional computers, and it can quickly solve complex mathematical problems, demonstrating the huge potential of quantum computing.
Deep-sea scientific research and high-end manufacturing: the dual glory of deep sea and land
In terms of deep-sea scientific research, the construction and installation of the "Haiji No. 2" jacket has set several Asian records. Its height is 302 meters and its weight is 30,000 tons, laying a solid foundation for the development and utilization of China's deep-sea resources. At the same time, China's new generation of deep-sea oil and gas extraction equipment has successfully operated at a depth of 4,000 meters, demonstrating its strong deep-sea technical capabilities. In the field of high-end manufacturing, the successful development and application of major equipment such as the "Yongzhou" shield machine have demonstrated the strong strength of China's manufacturing industry, especially the "Yongzhou" shield machine, which has become one of the largest shield machines in the world with its 15-meter diameter.
Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence: Accelerators of the Digital Age
In terms of 5G communication technology, China has built 2.6 million 5G base stations by the beginning of 2024, covering cities at the prefecture level and above and key counties and cities across the country, accounting for more than 75% of the global total, leading the development and application of global 5G technology. The artificial intelligence industry is also developing rapidly. China's AI application revenue is expected to reach US$3.3 billion in 2024, and the AI market value is expected to surge from US$34.2 billion in 2023 to US$154.8 billion in 2030. Baidu, iFlytek, Tencent, Alibaba and other companies have made continuous breakthroughs in core technologies such as natural language processing, computer vision, and intelligent driving, promoting the widespread application of AI technology in smart terminals, education, entertainment and other fields, accelerating the application of AI technology in industries such as medical care, education, and retail, and profoundly changing traditional business models and service methods.
Aviation and high-speed rail: a double leap in speed and dreams
The successful development of the C919 passenger aircraft marks that China's civil aviation industry has the ability to compete with international aviation giants. As of the beginning of 2024, the order volume of C919 has exceeded 1,300 aircraft, far exceeding the new models in the same period. At the same time, China's high-speed rail operating mileage exceeded 52,000 kilometers, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global high-speed rail operating mileage. High-speed rail is not only famous for its high speed and safety, but also achieves a number of technological innovations in energy utilization, control systems, etc., profoundly changing people's travel patterns and promoting regional economic prosperity and exchanges.
Looking ahead, China will continue to increase its efforts in scientific and technological innovation and accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.
