China's innovation-oriented development is not merely a slogan—it is the engine driving the nation toward a future defined by sustainability, intelligence, and shared prosperity. From renewable energy farms to orbital satellites, China is building technologies for the shared future of humankind. The country stands at the forefront of technological innovation and breakthroughs and is creating a benchmark that inspires the world.
In 2025, an impressive 972,000 new invention patents were granted in China, making the country the first in the world to have over five million valid invention patents. Currently, China holds approximately 60 percent of global AI patents and about two-thirds of robot-related patents.
Recently, "agents" and "tokens" have gained popularity, especially in open-source AI projects, where they are giving rise to new business models and market opportunities. As this technological trend continues, China's large model technology has made exponential progress and its applications are rapidly expanding. This is refreshing the intelligent economy and gradually becoming the cornerstone of global innovation.
China has implemented an expanded policy — to remove tariffs on all imports from the 53 countries on the continent with which China has diplomatic ties, until April 30, 2028.
For decades, plant protection scientists have been fighting this phenomenon, while working with their hands tied. Traditional insect radars, the only tools capable of tracking these nocturnal high-altitude bugs, had a fatal flaw: a large detection blind zone. Now, after 20 years of painstaking research, a Chinese team has developed a world-leading high resolution, vertically looking radar (VLR), that rewrites the rules of pest monitoring.

China has rolled out official assessment measures for the building of a Beautiful China, with the goal of expanding green and low-carbon development, along with the overall improvement of the country's eco-environmental quality, according to an official document released recently.
Fortunately, the wide gap between virtual simulation and real-world execution is closing fast, driven by the advancement of homegrown technology. This breakthrough arrives as China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) prioritizes foundational AI research and technology transfer.
According to a recent Reuters report, the U.S. State Department has instructed its missions worldwide to amplify claims that Chinese companies "steal" U.S. AI intellectual property through so-called "distillation," laying the groundwork for potential follow-up actions and coordinated international messaging by Washington.

Named Gangtie Jiliang, or Steel Backbone, it is the world's first kilometer-scale, vertical shaft, hard-rock, full-face tunnel boring machine (TBM). The revolutionary borer recently wormed its way deep into the ground at an iron ore project site of Ansteel Group Corporation Limited in Anshan, northeast China's Liaoning province.
The Chinese Embassy in the U.S. hosted an open house on May 2, featuring a science and technology exhibition titled “Innovate Together: Science & Technology for a Shared Tomorrow.”
A high-level symposium in Beijing on April 23 brought together diplomats, think tank experts and media representatives from more than 30 countries to explore the theoretical innovations and practical achievements of China's governance in the new era. They discussed China's governance practices and theories, saying these offer valuable insights for the world.
In the late 1980s, the global mathematical community was undergoing a significant transformation. The field was moving away from a purely Western-centric focus toward a more inclusive, pluralistic era where groundbreaking research was increasingly emerging from Asia.
Recently, the U.S. House Select Committee on China set up a so-called "whistleblower" reporting channel on its official website. It openly encourages American scholars, researchers, and other professionals to report scientific collaborations involving entities linked to China's defense and industrial base.
