National College Entrance Examination Dialogue with China Instruments: What is the Eternal Theme?

From standardization to an increasing emphasis on personalization, the college entrance examination reform has consistently strived to keep pace with national needs and changes in social structure. For China's rapid growth over the past 40 years, the entire operational system represented by the college entrance examination has not only ensured basic fairness and transparency but also improved the efficiency of talent selection, making its contribution unique. As a fair means of talent selection, the significance and value of the college entrance examination remain unquestionable; the overarching theme of "knowledge changes destiny" will not and should not change.

The same applies to the instrumentation industry!

The instrumentation industry is a strategic emerging industry in my country. With the continuous development of the industry in recent years, my country has become one of the largest countries in the international instrumentation industry. In the instrumentation field, development cannot be separated from exploring industry rules, pursuing industry standardization, introducing advanced technologies, and learning from and inheriting excellent achievements! Many national government departments and research institutions have made crucial reforms.

National Standardization Administration: Standardization Reform of the Instrumentation Industry

Currently, the country has entered a critical period of comprehensive deepening reform, and the importance of scientific research instruments is even more prominent. The National Standardization Administration has made outstanding contributions to the development of the industry, one of which is the formulation and improvement of relevant instrumentation industry standards. Recently, the Standardization Administration of China released the first batch of 238 national standards to be revised in 2017.

National Science and Technology Department: Unleashing Innovation-Driven Power

Technological innovation plays a significant supporting role in the structural adjustment of instrument brands and economic growth. It is closely related to the nationwide dissemination of scientific and technological achievements. Facing the new situation of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, scientists believe that instrument innovation will play an indispensable role in technological innovation during this critical period of strategic victory. Enhancing the innovation capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Researching and formulating standards for technology-based SMEs, and increasing policy guidance and support. Supporting the development of technology-based SMEs and cultivating a group of hidden champions who master specialized, refined, and innovative technologies in the industry.

Chinese Academy of Sciences: Keeping Pace with the Times and Aiming at Major Strategic Needs

To meet the needs of technological innovation, industrial restructuring, and expanding national strategic development space, and to fully leverage the advantages of international scientific and technological cooperation, the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the "Chinese Academy of Sciences 'Belt and Road' International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Action Plan" in early 2016 to support the implementation of the "Belt and Road" initiative. The Chinese Academy of Sciences' "Belt and Road" science and technology cooperation network will play an indispensable role in building a "scientific community" and "innovation community" in the Asia-Pacific, Asia-Europe, and Asia-Africa regions.

Just as students across the country are preparing for or currently preparing for the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) place great importance on studying and analyzing Gaokao reform policies, adjusting their study plans and formulating coping strategies accordingly, domestic instrument manufacturers should promptly pay attention to relevant industry standards and quickly adjust their instrument design schemes to provide a solid foundation for establishing a healthy and sustainable instrument market order in my country. Just as the Beijing Gaokao essay topic "On Bonds" explicitly mentions "the need for bonds to unite people's hearts and gather strength" and "cultural exchange and historical inheritance," the metaphorical meaning of "bonds" aims to guide candidates to deeply understand the vitality of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The sustained prosperity and rapid development of the instrument industry also cannot be separated from learning and innovating leading technologies at home and abroad. All instrument manufacturers should work together to create an extremely favorable development environment for this vital national asset.

Just as 1977 represents the special feelings of the older generation towards the Gaokao, 2017, after 40 years, marks the beginning of a decisive period for the rise of China's instrument industry. Today, only by working together, improving industry standards, focusing on major strategic developments, and innovating and inheriting core technologies can the highly anticipated instrument industry win this crucial battle!
