Vice Premier Outlines Vision for Collaborative Innovation
Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang set the tone for international tech cooperation today at the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum, declaring China's readiness to build a global sci-tech community. With 1,000+ scientists, CEOs, and officials present, the event became a launchpad for Beijing's next-phase innovation strategy 🚀
From Local Hubs to Global Networks
Building on China's tech leaps during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), Ding revealed ambitious 2026-2030 blueprints:
⚡ Supercharging Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei as integrated R&D powerhouse
💡 Expanding Shanghai's innovation reach across Yangtze River Delta
🌉 Turbocharging Guangdong-HK-Macao Greater Bay Area's tech ecosystem
Three Rules for the New Tech World
The vice premier's cooperation playbook:
🌍 Create open innovation networks (no more siloed research!)
🤝 Boost international tech partnerships (think global, invent local)
⚖️ Ensure ethical governance (because with great tech comes great responsibility)
