the report said that ezer added that although china has not yet taken the lead overall, it has taken the lead in some areas.and in many other areas, chinese companies are likely to "catch up with or surpass western companies" within a decade or so.。

the south china morning post said:the report's findings are "worrying" for the united statesthe report mentioned that itif urged american politicians and policymakers to respond to the challenges posed by chinese innovation.

according to a previous report by the global times, itif is a well-known think tank and a world-leading science and technology policy research institution. in recent years, the foundation has published a large number of research reports on china's innovative development of science and technology, which reflect the growing anxiety in the united states caused by the speed of china's innovative development.

according to a previous report by xinhua news agency, saha vinsch-vincent, director of the economics and data analysis department of the world intellectual property organization, believes that china has become a global innovation leader, thanks to its consistent innovation policy planning and implementation over the years, as well as its increasing investment in education, science and technology. "more importantly, china has the ability to transform policies and investments that are conducive to innovation into results such as intellectual property rights, innovative products and high-tech exports."

xinhua news agency said that in the field of scientific and technological innovation, experts believe that china's achievements are obvious to all. china has been at the forefront of the world in many fields such as 5g, mobile e-commerce, mobile payments, smart phones, new energy technologies and financial technology, and has also made important progress in artificial intelligence, electric transportation and autonomous driving. "some people still believe that china is good at 'copying' foreign technology rather than leading technological innovation. this is an outdated view. in the next few years, the advancement of china's technological capabilities will have a profound impact on the international market and the global competitive landscape," said sean randolph, senior director of the bay area council economic institute in the united states, in the report "china innovation: china's technological future and its implications for silicon valley".
