The article points out that the recent Politburo meeting of the Central Committee emphasized “strengthening long-term stable support for basic research.” This decision reflects a deep understanding of the long-term, arduous, and exploratory nature of basic research. We must not rush to achieve results in advancing basic research; we must maintain strategic strength and historical patience, protect research and support based on long-term stable support, and consolidate the foundation for building a strong nation in science and technology. Currently, our country has been constrained by people for a long time in some key core technology fields, and many of the difficulties stem from insufficient reserves for basic theoretical research. Key technologies cannot be bought or not; only independent breakthroughs in basic research can the fundamental problem be solved. To achieve a high level of technological self-reliance and self-improvement, we must focus on basic research and forge excellent original innovation capabilities. It is necessary to gradually increase the proportion of basic research funding, systematize the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure, and improve the classification and evaluation system that conforms to the characteristics of basic research.
