Moscow, May 19 /Xinhua/ — China has demonstrated impressive success in scientific research and technological development in recent years, turning from the world’s factory into a global innovation center, said Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui.
“The prototype of the quantum computer “Zu Chongzhi 3.0” on superconductors set a new world record for quantum advantage performance. In the global AI industry, the DeepSeek model proved that size does not always matter, refuting the principle of “the bigger, the better.” Yushu Technology has become a leader in the production of four-legged robots, occupying about 70 percent of the world market. All these achievements testify to the high level of technological development of China,” the ambassador noted in an article published on Monday in the Russian newspaper “Trud.”
“There are 26 scientific and technological innovation clusters in the country, which are among the top 100 in the world, confirming China’s status as one of the economies with the fastest growth in innovation activity over the past decade,” the diplomat writes, citing data on funding for research and development (R&D). In this indicator, China has moved into second place in the world: its share of R&D expenditure has reached 2.68 percent of GDP. China occupies a leading position both in the number of international patent applications filed through the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) procedure and in the number of applications to the Hague System for the Registration of Industrial Designs.
“In the field of strategic high technologies, significant results have been achieved: the Chang’e-6 mission collected samples from the far side of the Moon for the first time in the world; the Earth’s Crust 1 drilling rig drilled a hole 10,000 meters deep; the Fendouzhe manned deep-sea vehicle dived more than 10,000 meters underwater; and the world’s first fourth-generation nuclear power plant was put into operation,” the ambassador lists.
According to him, China has formed a “comprehensive ecosystem of the AI industry, covering all levels: from basic technologies and infrastructure to models and application solutions.” In the field of AI, there are more than 400 “small giants” – fast-growing innovative companies, which is about 10 percent of their total number in the world.
“The success of companies like Huawei, BYD and DeepSeek proves that China is transforming from the world’s factory into a global innovation hub,” Zhang Hanhui emphasizes in his article. –0–
