The following are the major high-tech projects China is set to undertake
during the 2006-2010 period, listed in the draft guidelines of the five-year
development blueprint being deliberated by Chinese lawmakers at their ongoing
annual session:
-- Integrated circuits and software: establishing integrated circuit research
and development centers, industrializing the technology for 90-nanometer and
smaller integrated circuits, and developing basic software, middleware, large
key applied software and integrated systems.
-- New-generation network: building next-general Internet demonstration
projects, a nationwide digital TV network and mobile communication demonstration
networks with independent property rights.
-- Advanced computing: making breakthrough in technology for petaflop
computer systems, building grid-based advanced computing platforms, and
commercializing the production of teraflop computers.
-- Biomedicine: Building a number of demonstration projects for commercial
production of vaccines for major diseases and gene-modified medicines, improving
the modern traditional Chinese medicine system, and enhancing the capability for
new medicine invention and production.
-- Civil airplane: developing planes for trunk and feeder lines,
general-purpose planes and helicopters, as well as advanced engines.
-- Satellite application: developing new meteorological, oceanographic,
resource and telecommunication satellites, and poison- and pollution-free thrust
augmented carrier rockets; building earth observation and navigation positioning
satellite systems and facilities and application demonstration projects for
civil satellite ground systems.
-- New materials: building demonstration projects for commercial production
of high-performance new materials badly needed in information, biological and
aerospace industries. (For more biz stories, please visit Industry Updates) |
