Innovation as a Strategic Tool

In his speech to the meeting celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the PLA on August 1, 2017, Xi Jinping emphasized the strategic importance of scientific and technological innovation in building a strong military. 

Guided by a national strategy for innovation-driven development, a strategic focus on innovation calls for self-reliance, perseverance, and willpower to reinvent ourselves in our push to develop proprietary core technologies and new weaponry systems. Science and technology will contribute more to a stronger military with greater capability. 

An innovation strategy is being implemented across the military to build up and leverage existing strengths, and promote innovation in new areas, especially strategically important areas, such as the development and application of frontier technologies. Significant progress has been made in this regard, with an impressive array of research results, such as the rollout of the Tianhe-2 supercomputer.
