As a well-known figure in China's science and technology circles, Xiang Ligang has always been very concerned about the development of China's science and technology. He believes that only by mastering the core technology can China truly get rid of the risk of being controlled by other countries. This makes Xiang Ligang known as the "Tinghua Science and Technology School" in China. He has his own unique views on the development of China's science and technology, not only focusing on China's own innovation and independent development, but also devoting himself to criticizing experts who are only famous but lack scientific spirit.
In this age of information, the advice of experts is often too far from reality, sometimes even tinged with Western countries. Under these circumstances, Xiang Ligang's criticism is extremely necessary. He was dissatisfied that some university experts and professors only shouted slogans and lacked substantive research and innovation. Xiang Ligang singled out Liu Jia's comments in the field of artificial intelligence from Tsinghua University, saying that his views lacked scientific spirit and were more like an unwarranted criticism of China's AI industry.
Xiang Ligang is optimistic about the development of Chinese artificial intelligence, and does not agree with Liu Jia's statement that China's artificial intelligence is supported by the United States. He questioned whether China's AI development is inseparable from foreign talents, and whether there is no local talent. In fact, China has already made some achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. For example, TikTok's success has not only risen rapidly around the world, but also beaten tech giants such as Google and Meta in the United States. Xiang Ligang believes that this is mainly due to TikTok's leading edge in key technologies such as algorithms.
Another example is Huawei, a well-known company in China that has also achieved a world-class advanced level in the field of artificial intelligence. Huawei's 18 senior management team members are all local Chinese talents, and their technical and management capabilities have reached the world's advanced level. Even in the face of U.S. sanctions, Huawei has been able to stabilize the company and its core talents. This shows that without foreign help, China can also have its own AI development.
Xiang Ligang's criticism has sparked a lot of discussion and controversy. Some people believe that there is no shame in acknowledging the excellence of foreign countries, and that the fact that experts have made some suggestions or criticized China's practices does not mean that China is belittled. Rather, it could be a way to boost China's scientific and technological progress. However, there are also those who support Xiang's view that true experts should make objective statements in their areas of expertise, rather than belittle China's development achievements across borders.
In general, the development of science and technology requires more innovation and independent thinking, and needs to be led by experts with a truly scientific spirit. Xiang Ligang's criticism of those experts who are famous but lack substantive contributions is necessary. It is only through criticism and self-reflection that China can truly achieve breakthroughs and development in science and technology.
In my opinion, the development of science and technology requires the expertise and influence of experts. However, the statements of experts also need to be based on objectivity and science. Xiang Ligang reminded us that we should not wantonly make irresponsible remarks just because we are famous, still less should we be superstitious about the views of Western countries. We need to have our own thinking and judgment skills, embrace excellence while maintaining confidence in our own strengths. Only in this way can China's science and technology truly be independent and stand on the commanding heights of the world's science and technology.
