China will raise its global innovation ranking in the next five years, according to a national scientific and technological blueprint issued by the Ministry of Science of Technology on July 13, 2011.
The blueprint provides goals for the country's science and technology development. Its objectives include significant growth in innovation capacity, greater international influence in the science and technology sector and more breakthroughs in the research and development of crucial technologies.
According to the blueprint, China's global innovation ranking will be raised from 21st to 18th. The rankings were released by the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development (CASTED) in February after surveying the innovative capacity of 40 countries.
Other goals outlined in the blueprint include increasing the amount of money spent on research and development, boosting patent ownership, improving the added value of the nation's high-tech industries and increasing the number of active research and development personnel.
The blueprint places emphasis on technologies that have direct bearing on people's livelihood, including those in the health, disaster reduction and sustainable development sectors.
Greater efforts will be made to study chronic diseases, communicable diseases and mental diseases and improve early warning technologies against earthquakes, landslides, flood, hurricane and other disasters.
China will also aim at establishing a comprehensive food safety monitoring and examination system and developing key technologies to build green cities and towns.
