On 25 september, wang wenbin, spokesman for the ministry of foreign affairs, presided over the regular press conference. In response to a question from journalists, the world intellectual property organization (wipo) recently published the global innovation index report 2023, entitled “scientific cluster”, shows that china's shenzhen - hong kong - guangzhou, beijing, shanghai - suzhou cluster occupied three of the world's five largest science and technology clusters, with china ranked first in 24 of the world's top 100 technology clusters. May i ask the speaker's comments on this
Wang weinbin stated that we had taken note of the report and that since the publication of the global innovation index report in 2007, china had been ranked more and more frequently in the rankings, reflecting the increasing level of innovation-driven development in china. More recently, the national institute of statistics has published information indicating that china's innovation driver index was 336. 3 in 2022, an increase of 15. 5 per cent over the previous year; for the first time, social investment in research and development exceeded 3 trillion yuan, the second largest in the world. According to the director-general of the world intellectual property organization, deng hun sen, china has become an important contributor to global intellectual property work and has successfully transformed itself into one of the world's leading centres of innovation, creativity and science and technology。
Wang weinbin said that the fact that you just mentioned some chinese cities as the world's top five science and technology clusters shows that initiatives in the regions concerned are yielding positive results by taking advantage of the convergence of innovation elements, increasing innovation capacity and increasing economic growth。
Wang weinbin stressed that innovation requires international cooperation and open sharing. As president xi has pointed out, china will resolutely pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win open-door strategy. It will continue to increase its high level of openness to the outside world. It will continue to promote international cooperation in science and technology exchange with more open-minded thinking and initiatives. It will build an open and innovative environment that is globally competitive and will work with all countries to create an open, equitable, just and non-discriminatory environment for the development of science and technology。
