These days, the small astronomical town located in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, China is extremely lively. Since the Chinese National Day, a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists have visited FAST, the world's largest space radio telescope with an antenna half a kilometer in diameter.
Since its completion in September 2016, FAST has not only enabled the world to see further and brighter, but also contributed more Chinese wisdom to human exploration of the mysteries of space and international exchange and cooperation.
The success of FAST is a microcosm of the achievements of Chinese scientific and technological innovation. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over the past 75 years, after several generations of unremitting efforts, China has become an important pole in the global field of scientific and technological innovation. According to the 2024 Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China's innovation ranking rose one place from last year to 11th, making it the only middle-income economy among the top 30.
Over the past 75 years, scientific and technological innovation has not only brought a key driving force to China's modernization, but also promoted the development of global science and technology and industrial intelligent manufacturing, and made a real contribution to human progress. Technology knows no boundaries. From China's perspective, scientific and technological innovation is inseparable from open cooperation, which is another important experience in China's scientific and technological progress.
