Some American netizens asked: Why does China only "plagiarize" and not invent itself.
If even you think that our science and technology are copied, imitated, or even stolen, then you must have some misunderstanding of the words science and technology.
Or you have a misunderstanding of yourself.
Foreigners say that we plagiarize their advanced technology, and some of our own people also think that we have plagiarized the advanced technology of the West. It seems that we have no technological innovation in scientific and technological research, no independent innovation, and have been imitating and plagiarizing.
It is difficult to judge whether we have technological innovation and independent innovation, because for ordinary people, they do not understand those more advanced science and technology at all, and in fact, most ordinary people have no access to advanced science and technology at all. For ordinary people, at most, they have access to goods made with science and technology.
But one thing is certain, the advanced science and technology of the West is difficult to be copied and plagiarized, after all, foreigners are not stupid. Moreover, plagiarism, plagiarism is not so simple.
For example: Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa has been hanging there smiling at you, everyone can imitate and paint, but the surface things can be imitated and referenced, and many people can imitate and draw, but how many people can master the core things inside? Even if the painting has been hanging there, few people have been able to surpass it by simple imitation.
Not to mention science and technology!
For example, we all have mobile phones, and there are all kinds of chips in the mobile phones, and an ordinary person can take them out for research, even if we scientists know the composition and structure, but so what? Without a lithography machine, we can't build a chip even if we do in-depth research.
Science and technology is a complex system, and being able to mimic the same performance of the first generation of products means that it has surpassed itself.
For another example, we all know that the physical formula, for example, the calculation of the explosion power of the atomic bomb ** is calculated according to Einstein's mass-energy equation, and the expression of the mass-energy equation is: e=mc 2, where e represents energy, m represents mass, and c represents the speed of light. Let's say it's simple, just three letters, let's say it's complicated, **I also know this formula, but I just can't make a core**.
It is difficult to succeed in the core science and technology through imitation and plagiarism, and if we don't work hard, even if we give us the information for nothing, we won't even be able to understand it.
What's more, are these foreigners in the West naïve, or stupid, and obediently let you "plagiarize"?
To be honest, we are learning from the West in all aspects, and the reason why this is so is because we really lagged behind the West in the beginning, but this does not mean that Western civilization is superior to us. We have been ahead of the world for thousands of years, and in just these two hundred years, we have been surpassed by the West, and we have begun to feel inferior? Today, it also surpasses the West in many ways.
There is no shame in learning the advanced science and technology of the West, and we have been studying and making progress. It's a shame that I've been eating easy, I've never been out of school, and I've been led by the nose.
Some people also say that the academicians of our two academies are ruthless in "water", but in fact, many academicians and so-called Western foreigners do not dare to underestimate them.
Someone raised the bar and said, you say that academicians are so good, why don't you have a Nobel Prize? I want to say that Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize, and some people accused Mo Yan of "admiring foreigners"; Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize, and some people say that she "happened".
Some people questioned Qian Xuesen's inventions. Why don't you ask Einstein what he invented? Why don't you ask Hawking what he has invented?
The above is just my personal opinion, and what I say is even nonsense.
We can't say what we don't know, and we can't easily evaluate it. As an ordinary person, there are many things that cannot be touched, understood, seen, or imagined, so be cautious in your words and deeds.
However, as Chinese, we must be more confident, and more sunny. It is not terrible to be backward for a while, but it is terrible to lose confidence in yourself.
Sometimes you really have to use your brain, how to really "plagiarize" the advanced technology of the West - this is definitely not as simple as spies patting **.
