BEIJING - President Xi Jinping said China must resolve issues in key technological fields from the bottom up, state media reported, as the country deals with a growing number of mainly US export controls on advanced technology.
Mr Xi said on Tuesday during a study session of the 24-person Politburo, one of the top decision-making bodies of the ruling Communist Party of China, that China needed to strengthen basic research in science and technology if it is to achieve self-reliance and become a global tech power, state news agency Xinhua reported.
“To cope with international science and technology competition, achieve a high level of self-reliance and self-improvement... we urgently need to strengthen basic research and solve key technology problems from the source,” Xinhua quoted Mr Xi as saying. The call comes as China faces growing headwind in its years-long effort to close the gap with the United States and its allies in advanced semiconductor technology.
