国家创新调查制度是党中央、国务院深化科技体制改革、监测评价国家创新体系的重要基础性制度,为创新型国家、世界科技强国建设提供了有力支撑。
  2016年,中共中央、国务院印发的《国家创新驱动发展战略纲要》明确提出:“加强创新调查,建立定期监测评估和滚动调整机制。”
  2022年,新修订实施的《中华人民共和国科学技术进步法》明确规定:“国家建立健全科学技术统计调查制度和国家创新调查制度,掌握国家科学技术活动基本情况,监测和评价国家创新能力。”
  "The national innovation survey system is an institutional arrangement for comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of national innovation capacity on the basis of scientific and standardized statistical surveys. The Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Bureau of Statistics take the lead and set up a work coordination mechanism including 18 departments to coordinate the implementation of the national innovation survey system." Xing Huaibin, deputy director of the Strategic Planning Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said.
  The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress clearly stated: "Insist on the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China’s modernization", which further stimulated the surging power of innovation.
  The Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing has a warm and cozy Fanghua Garden. A grand awarding ceremony was held here on February 17th. The Heliang Heli Foundation will award grand prizes to 112 outstanding scientists who won awards in 2021 and 2022.
  Among the winners, there are respected old academicians and fresh troops who have made outstanding contributions in the frontier field of scientific and technological innovation. Among them, the oldest is 85 years old, and the youngest is only 37 years old, with an average age of 57.1 years old. The average age of the winners of the Youth Innovation Award is 42.4 years old.
  The fundamental source of national scientific and technological innovation lies in people. To achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, China ultimately depends on high-level innovative talents.
  The data shows that the total number of R&D personnel in China is 5.72 million person-years, 1.8 times that of 2012, ranking first in the world, and the number of R&D personnel per 10,000 employed people has increased from 43 person-years in 2012 to 77 person-years.
  In addition, China has paid more attention to the cultivation of young talents, and set up a young scientist project under the age of 35 in the national science and technology plan project, and a number of world-class scientific and technological talents have emerged. The number of highly cited scientists in China increased from 111 in 2014 to 1,169 in 2022.
  Guan Xiaojing, the second inspector of the Department of Social Sciences and Literature of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that China’s scientific and technological innovation has continuously made breakthroughs, which is inseparable from the rapid growth of R&D investment.
  According to preliminary estimates, in 2022, China’s total social R&D investment reached 3.09 trillion yuan, three times that of 2012, ranking second in the world in R&D investment, and the intensity of R&D investment increased from 1.91% in 2012 to 2.55% in 2022.
  The party and the state have always attached importance to basic research. Strengthening basic research is an urgent requirement to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and the only way to build a world-class scientific and technological power.
  In recent years, China’s basic research funds have increased steadily. In 2022, basic research funds reached 195.1 billion yuan, 3.9 times that of 2012, and the proportion of basic research funds in R&D funds was 6.32%, which remained stable at more than 6% continuously. The increase in investment has provided inexhaustible kinetic energy for strengthening basic research and consolidating the foundation of scientific and technological self-reliance.

The dominant position of enterprise innovation is further strengthened.
The output and quality of scientific and technological innovation have risen together.

At present, it is a critical period for spring ploughing in many places. In the depths of the mountains in Fuyuan County, Yunnan Province, which is about 2000 meters above sea level, the automatic meteorological monitoring station built by 23 aerospace new meteorological companies in the Second Institute of China Aerospace Science and Industry Group continuously provides important meteorological information for local agricultural production.
  In Fuyuan county, "ten miles in different days" is often used to describe the unpredictable weather. In particular, some meteorological disasters such as rainstorm, cold wave, fog and hail often affect the harvest of villagers.
  To this end, Aerospace New Meteorological Company took the initiative to shoulder the main responsibility of enterprise innovation, fully tapped the technical resources and capabilities accumulated in the aerospace field for many years, and undertook the encryption layout of meteorological automation stations in rural revitalization projects, effectively improving the local ability to resist natural disasters.
  "At present, the R&D expenditure of enterprises accounts for 76.9% of the R&D expenditure of the whole society, and the status of enterprises as the main body of innovation is being further consolidated." Guo Rong, vice president of China Institute of Science and Technology Development Strategy, said that in 2021, the number of enterprises with technological innovation in industries above designated size reached 209,000, accounting for 47.4% of all industrial enterprises, an increase of 15.7 percentage points over 2016.
  The number of high-tech enterprises in China has increased from 49,000 in 2012 to 330,000, an increase of 5.7 times. In 2021, 683 enterprises entered the top 2500 global R&D investment list, and a number of innovative enterprises with international influence grew up in the fields of unmanned aerial vehicles, e-commerce, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and mobile communication.
  While the main position of enterprise innovation is more clear, the output of scientific and technological innovation also shows the characteristics of both quantity and quality. In 2021, the number of highly cited papers in China was 42,920, ranking second in the world, 5.4 times that of 2012, accounting for 24.8% of the world’s total, 17.5 percentage points higher than that of 2012.
  In addition, the number of invention patents per 10,000 people in China has increased from 3.2 in 2012 to 19.1 in 2021, and the level of patent internationalization has been continuously improved. The number of PCT patent applications has increased from 19,000 in 2012 to 69,600 in 2021, ranking first in the world for three consecutive years.
