The integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation is not only an imperative for human sustainable development but also the foundational essence of societal progress. Historically, China stood as a global epicenter of technological advancement, disseminating numerous inventions across Eurasia— a testament to the intellectual acuity of the Chinese people. However, over the past 1,500 years, while nations like Europe, the United States, and Japan advanced, China experienced relative decline, likely due to systemic constraints within its feudal system and cultural factors that hindered innovation. Today, amid a new era of scientific revolutions and industrial transformations, China possesses the potential to reclaim its prominence. By fostering institutional and cultural frameworks adaptable to technological evolution, particularly addressing gaps in the synergy between scientific and industrial innovation, China can accelerate its path toward national rejuvenation.
