This is a sober judgment in the face of complex and changeable internal and external environment:
"The key core technology is not available, cannot be bought and cannot be obtained";
"You can't always use others' yesterday to dress up your own tomorrow";
"Even if an Internet enterprise is no matter how large and how high its market value is, if its core components are heavily dependent on foreign countries and the 'lifeline' of the supply chain is in the hands of others, it will be like building a house on the wall of others. No matter how big or beautiful it is, it may not withstand the wind and rain, or even a blow"
"The situation is pressing, the challenge is pressing, and the mission is pressing". To solve these "neck sticking" problems, we must ultimately rely on ourselves.

"Although ancient China made many important contributions to the development of human science and technology, why did the modern scientific and industrial revolution not take place in China?" Once, the famous "Needham's Question" in the history of science was thought-provoking.
Looking back at the hard times of the Chinese nation, General Secretary Xi Jinping revealed the profound logic contained in the historical evolution.
"History tells us a truth: whether a country is strong or not cannot be determined solely by the size of its economic aggregate, and whether a nation is strong or not cannot be determined solely by the size of its population and the size of its territory. In modern history, one of the root causes of China's backwardness is the backwardness of science and technology."
Today, China, which is "new" and "quality" oriented, has attracted worldwide attention.
