　　 Reporter Hao Jie

　　 On September 22, the National Bureau of statistics, the Ministry of science and technology and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the statistical bulletin of national science and technology investment in 2020 (hereinafter referred to as the communique). According to the data of the communique, in 2020, China's R & D investment will exceed 2.4 trillion yuan, reaching 2439.31 billion yuan, an increase of 224.95 billion yuan or 10.2% over the previous year,; The investment intensity of research and experimental development (R & D) was 2.40%, 0.16 percentage points higher than that of the previous year, and the increase rate reached a new high in recent 11 years.

　　 Zhang Qilong, a statistician at the Department of social science and culture of the National Bureau of statistics, explained that from the perspective of international comparison, China's R & D investment shows a trend of steady progress. First, the total amount has steadily increased. In 2020, the total R & D expenditure of China is about 54% of that of the United States, which is 2.1 times of that of Japan, ranking the second in the world; From 2016 to 2019, the annual net increase of R & D expenditure in China exceeded 200 billion yuan, which was about 60% of the total annual increment of G7 countries, and became the main force driving the growth of global R & D funds. Second, the world leader in growth. From 2016 to 2019, China's R & D expenditure will grow by 11.8% annually, far higher than that of the United States (7.3%) and Japan (0.7%). Third, the intensity of catching up is accelerated. Among the world's major economies, China's R & D input intensity has risen from the 16th in the world in 2016 to the 12th, close to the average level of OECD countries.

　　 According to the expenditure situation of the three main executive bodies of R & D activities presented in the bulletin, in 2020, the proportion of R & D funds of enterprises, government research institutions and universities will be 76.6%, 14.0% and 7.7% respectively.

　　 From the perspective of industrial sectors, the research and experimental development (R & D) expenditure of high-tech manufacturing industry was 464.91 billion yuan, with an input intensity of 2.67%, an increase of 0.26 percentage points over the previous year; The R & D expenditure of equipment manufacturing industry was 913.03 billion yuan, and the input intensity was 2.22%, 0.15 percentage points higher than that of the previous year.

　　 According to the industry classification of the National Bureau of statistics, the R & D expenditure of textile industry is 23.14 billion yuan, and the R & D investment intensity is 0.99%. The R & D expenditure of textile and clothing industry is 10.58 billion yuan, and the R & D investment intensity is 0.76%. The R & D investment intensity of chemical fiber manufacturing industry is 13.24 billion yuan, and the R & D investment intensity is 1.66%.

　　 The guiding opinions on the development of science and technology in the "14th five year plan" of the textile industry pointed out that China's textile industry has entered a stage of high-quality development, the level of scientific and technological innovation ability is still insufficient compared with the requirements of the new development pattern, and there are still some problems to be solved in the aspects of independent innovation ability, R & D investment intensity, achievements transformation effect, talent team construction, and innovation system and mechanism. According to the opinions, during the "14th five year plan" period, the research and experimental development expenditure of textile enterprises above Designated Size in China accounted for 1.3% of the main business income.

　　 Zhang Qilong said that in the future, while continuing to expand the scale of investment, it is necessary to further optimize the structure of investment and improve the quality and efficiency of investment. First, we should optimize the government's investment, further concentrate on the most urgent major needs of economic and social development, and incline to key industries in key areas, improve budget management and allocation methods, and give full play to the role of "baton". The second is to give full play to the main role of enterprises, encourage enterprises to further increase their investment in original innovation and independent tackling key problems, and strengthen the cooperation of industry, University and research through the formation of innovation consortia, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the "main force". Third, we should improve the diversified investment mechanism of the whole society, improve the sources of funds such as social donations, venture capital and financial technology products, vigorously develop new R & D institutions, and create a "diversified" ecology.
