Summary
Sharshiev said China’s scientific and technological advance has reached unprecedented speed and scale, shifting from catch-up development to setting its own innovation agenda.
Chinese EVs rank among global sales leaders, Chinese drones are gaining world market share, and the country leads in high-speed rail length—evidence he cited for that transition.
DeepSeek’s lower-cost language model, he said, shows Chinese engineers can meet global standards while reducing costs, reinforcing China’s standing in the global innovation system.
In space, he pointed to Tiangong, Beidou and indigenous rockets, as well as Chang’e-6’s first-ever return of far-side lunar samples, which China has opened to international researchers.
Sharshiev said Central Asian countries are increasingly looking to Chinese solutions and urged wider global engagement with China in science and technology.
As China rapidly shifts from tech imitator to global architect, what hidden breakthroughs lie within its exclusive lunar far-side samples?
Could China's low-cost dominance in advanced AI and aerospace fundamentally rewrite the rules of global technological supremacy?
With Chinese patents increasingly abandoning foreign research, how will this unprecedented technological self-reliance reshape the global innovation race?
