關鍵技術要靠自己
自力更生是中華民族自立於世界民族之林的基點，自主創新是中國攀登世界科技高峰的必由之路。一個國家只是經濟體量大，還不能代表強。中國是一個大國，在科技創新上要有自己的東西，不能做其他國家的技術附庸。
中國科技發展的方向就是創新、創新、再創新。要高度重視原始性專業基礎理論突破，加強科學基礎設施建設，保證基礎性、系統性、前沿性技術研究和技術研發持續推進，強化自主創新成果的源頭供給。要積極主動整合和利用好全球創新資源，從中國現實需求、發展需求出發，有選擇、有重點地參加國際大科學裝置和科研基地及其中心建設和利用。要準確把握重點領域科技發展的戰略機遇，選準關係全局和長遠發展的戰略必爭領域和優先方向，通過高效合理配置，深入推進協同創新和開放創新，構建高效強大的共性關鍵技術供給體系，努力實現關鍵技術重大突破，把關鍵技術掌握在自己手裏。
Relying on China's own efforts to develop key technologies
Self-reliance has been a foundation for the Chinese nation to stand tall in the family of nations, and innovation by relying on its own initiative is a must for China to scale the heights of science and technology in the world.
A country with a large economy is not necessarily a strong country.
China is a large country, so it must have its own scientific and technological innovations and should not become a technological vassal of other countries.
The orientation for scientific and technological development in China is innovation, innovation and yet more innovation.
China needs to work hard to make basic theoretical breakthroughs in traditional fields; improve science infrastructure; ensure sustained progress in research on fundamental, systemic and frontier technologies and in technological R&D; and increase supply to projects of technological advances based on independent innovation.
It needs to actively integrate and make good use of global resources for innovation.To meet its present and development demand China should participate in the development and use of selected, major international scientific facilities and scientific research bases or centers.
China needs to seize strategic opportunities for developing science and technology in key areas, focus on priority areas of strategic importance that are vital to its overall and long-term development.
The country also needs to efficiently and rationally allocate resources, deepen collaborative and open innovation, build an effective and strong supply system for key standard technologies, strive to make major breakthroughs in key technologies and keep them firmly in its hands.
