The State Council issued the guidelines on national medium- and
long-term program for science and technology development (2006-2020) in
Beijing Thursday, which sets the proportion of research and development
expenditure in the gross domestic product at 2.5 percent.
By 2020, the progress of science and technology will contribute 60 percent
and above to the country's development. Meanwhile, the country's reliance on
foreign technology will decline to 30 percent and below. The number of patents
granted to Chinese nationals and the introduction of their academic essays are
expected to rank among the first five throughout the
world.
