Recently, the "China Power Report" released by the United States has once again attracted widespread attention from the international community. According to the report, China has made rapid progress in science and technology, and has achieved major breakthroughs in many fields, and in some fields it is even ahead of the United States. We should not be complacent because of this, but we should not be arrogant, and we should look at the progress of science and technology in China with a peaceful mind.
1. The 10 major breakthroughs made by Zhongshi Science and Technology
According to the report of the United States, China's scientific and technological progress is mainly reflected in the following 10 aspects:
Hypersonic**
China has made major breakthroughs in both hypersonic gliding and bi-cone hypersonic **, and the entry into service of the Dongfeng series of hypersonic missiles has made China a global leader in this field. This type of ** can improve the penetration capability of missiles and pose a major threat to the US military.
J-20 stealth fighter
The successful development of the J-20 has made China one of the countries in the world with two contemporary stealth fighters, with performance comparable to that of the American F-22 and F-35. This gives China hope to end its long-standing inferior position to the US military in the field of air operations.
Y-20 large transport aircraft
The service of the Y-20 has enabled China to have a modern strategic airlift capability, which can support long-range force projection, and greatly improve the long-range combat and force management capabilities of the squadron.
A new generation of UAVs
New UAVs, including the Strike-20 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and the Rainbow UAV series, have broadened China's reconnaissance and strike means and made China one of the world's UAV powers.
Digitization and informatization of the Army
The large-scale equipment and systematic reform of new digital equipment have enabled the Chinese Army to fully realize digitalization and greatly improve combat efficiency and coordination capabilities.
Space technology
Breakthroughs have been made in the Chang'e Project and the Shijian-Ne Quantum Science Experimental Satellite, making China one of the few countries in the world to master a number of key space technologies such as manned spaceflight, lunar exploration, and satellite navigation.
High-energy ** technology
The emergence of new concepts such as electromagnetic guns and laser defense systems has made China one of the leading countries in the research and development of high-energy technologies. Such new technologies have greatly enriched the form of future battlefields.
Quantum technology
Significant progress has also been made in cutting-edge technologies such as quantum communication and quantum computing. China's quantum satellite "Micius" has realized the satellite transmission of quantum communication, which is beyond the reach of other countries.
Nuclear strike capability
The deployment of new ICBMs such as the DF-41 ICBM, as well as a large number of underground silos-based silicon launch facilities, show that China has greatly improved its second-strike response capability. China's nuclear arsenal is expected to exceed 1,000 within 10 years.
Ocean-going naval strength
The commissioning of China's first domestically built aircraft carrier, Shandong, marks the improvement of China's ocean-going naval capabilities. The emergence of new large ships such as the 055 destroyer and the 075 amphibious assault ship has also greatly improved the Chinese Navy's ocean-going combat and support capabilities.
The above 10 aspects summarize the main areas of China's scientific and technological progress, among which the advent of hypersonic **, J-20 fighters, Y-20 transport aircraft, and new unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has made China catch up with or surpass the US military for the first time in related fields, which is of epoch-making significance. Progress in other fields has also shown that the strength of China's leading industrial science and technology has entered the world's advanced ranks as a whole.
Second, the three major advantages of the world's leading technology
According to the judgment of the United States, China's scientific and technological progress has brought the following three major advantages to China:
Nuclear strike capability
With the increase of the Dongfeng series of missiles and launch bases, the number of China's nuclear warheads is expected to increase to about 1,000 within 10 years, which will be at the same level as the nuclear strike capability of the United States and form a powerful deterrent to the United States.
Hypersonic**
The advent of the Dongfeng series of hypersonics** has made China a global leader in this field. This kind of ** is difficult to intercept, giving China the advantage of area denial.
Space technology
China has fully mastered space technologies such as independently launching manned spacecraft, building space stations, and carrying out lunar exploration, and is the leader in reusing and controlling space.
These three areas of superiority pose the greatest threat to the United States, which is sufficient to constitute strategic suppression of the United States. Among them, a large number of hard-to-intercept hypersonic ** has given China partial military dominance; China's vast nuclear arsenal ensures a powerful second-strike capability; The control of space technology ensures that China has the initiative to use and control space.
3. Reflections on the progress of science and technology in China
The progress of science and technology in China has not come easily, and it embodies the hard work and efforts of several generations. We are delighted and proud of what we have achieved today. But at the same time, we must remain humble, cherish the existing achievements, and keep forging ahead.
First of all, we must understand that there is no end to the competition in science and technology, and that there is still a long way to go for China's military science and technology to achieve greater development. There is still a gap between the Chinese and US military forces, and we must not slack off in the slightest.
Second, the further development of military science and technology should serve peace and should not threaten the security of other countries. China adheres to the path of peaceful development, and the progress of military science and technology should also be used to maintain regional stability.
Finally, we must continue to intensify efforts to rejuvenate the country through science and education and to train qualified personnel. The progress of military science and technology depends on the solid foundation of the country's scientific and technological strength and contingent of qualified personnel. We must fundamentally strengthen the country's strategic reserves of science and technology and talents.
We still need to make continuous efforts, always maintain a modest and cautious attitude, and promote national defense and regional prosperity and stability with scientific and technological progress. Let us look forward to a more brilliant tomorrow for China Science and Technology!
