In recent years, the Ministry of Science and Technology in China brought together experts and scholars from various fields to conduct in-depth discussions on the key aspects of independent innovation in scientific instruments. They also evaluated the main priorities for China’s scientific instrument development during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan†period, aiming to refine and enhance the “Research and Development Plan for Scientific Instruments and Equipment†for that time frame.
Scientific instruments and equipment play a crucial role as both the foundation of scientific research and a vital component of modern high-tech and information industries. For many years, Chinese laboratories have largely relied on imported experimental equipment. A significant portion of fixed asset investments in scientific research—around 60%—has been allocated to foreign-made devices, with a large share being advanced and high-end instruments. The value of imported analytical instruments surged from $900 million in 2001 to $1.613 billion in 2003, exceeding $2 billion in 2004, and continued to grow at an annual rate of approximately 30%.
In response to this growing reliance on foreign technology, the Department of Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences submitted a report in November 2005 titled “Strengthening China's Capacity for Independent R&D and Industrialization of Scientific Instruments and Implementation of the ‘Zhang Heng Project’.†This initiative received significant attention and support from the government, highlighting the importance of developing domestic capabilities in scientific instrumentation. The report emphasized the need for strategic investment, policy support, and collaboration between research institutions and industry to foster innovation and reduce dependency on imported equipment.
