70 Years of the NPC: "Technological Innovation Drives National Growth"
70 Years of the NPC: How Technological Innovation Fuels National Development
TroibNews 
As China celebrates the 70th anniversary of the National People's Congress (NPC), its achievements in science and technology highlight decades of advancement. The NPC's backing has been crucial in integrating innovation into the nation's development strategies, leading to substantial national growth through foundational research and high-tech innovations.
**Legislative Support for Innovation**
A vital aspect of this success lies in the NPC's efforts to establish and improve the legal framework that underpins technological innovation. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Progress of Science and Technology, originally enacted in 1993 and updated in 2007 and 2021, serves as a notable example. This law underscores the importance of science and technology in national development, with self-reliance as a fundamental principle of China's approach. By enacting this legislation, the NPC has reinforced the nation's dedication to creating a world-class innovation ecosystem, backing strategies such as innovation-driven development, talent development, and the rejuvenation of China through science and education.
**International Collaboration and Technological Transformation**
Besides fostering domestic innovation, the NPC has also championed international collaboration in scientific and technological endeavors. The Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, established in 1996, has been instrumental in this initiative. It addresses the complexities of translating scientific discoveries into practical applications, delineating the rights and responsibilities of various stakeholders while advocating for policies that ease the path to commercialization. By facilitating the transition of research into tangible products and services, this law has allowed scientific progress to directly influence China's economic and social development.
Through its legislative initiatives and efforts toward international cooperation, the NPC continues to create a conducive environment for innovation, helping China establish itself as a global leader in science and technology.
