Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences mainly publishes the research reports of critical strategic issues concerning China’s development in science, technology, economy and society as well as the reviews on the important frontiers and status and trends of interdisciplinary studies. The authors are mainly the academicians and scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. Supported by the profound knowledge and a high sense of social responsibility of these scientists, the journal provides a scientific basis for China’s overall strategic decision-making and spreads scientific ideas to the public.
Legal supervision plays an important role in the national governance system and capacity. In the era of the digital revolution, the rapid development of digital procuratorial work with big data legal supervision at the core promotes the reshaping of the legal supervision and governance system. In this study, the inherent need of legal supervision for active prosecution in the new era and the innovative role of new public interest litigation in comprehensive social governance are first analyzed. Then, the core meaning and reshaping role of big-data-enabling-legal-supervision and supervision-promoting-national-governance of digital prosecution are discussed. After the summary of the practical experience and challenges of big data enabling legal supervision worldwide, several countermeasures and suggestions for enabling legal supervision by new big data technologies are proposed, that is, on the basis of improving the efficient work promotion mechanism, to establish a big data sharing mechanism with procuratorial characteristics, to enhance the supply capacity of sustainable digital procuratorial science and technology, and to form a unified and open model for the development of big data legal supervision.
Science and technology innovation center plays an important role in transforming the mode of economic development and enhancing industrial competitiveness. The formation and development of science and technology innovation centers depend on the gathering of innovative talents, the support of first-rate universities and research institutions, and the cooperation and mutual promotion between innovation organizations and enterprises. In the course of future development, China should build a multi-level network system of science and technology innovation centers with international centers that can connect to global innovation networks, national centers which are capable of leading national science and technology research and development and technology transfer, regional centers which can promote regional development of science and technology and high-tech industrialization, and local centers which can promote the development of technological innovation and industrial with local characteristics. Meanwhile, the innovative milieu with openness and inclusion, attraction to talents, and the construction of top universities and research institutions are all important to the construction of the science and technology innovation center. On the basis of taking enterprises as the main body of innovation activities, planning and building various scientific research and development, innovation, and industrialization platform should be implemented by the government to incubate a group of leading scientific and technological innovation enterprises with global influence.
One significant goal of science and technology innovation is to set our sights on the health and safety of the people. The rapid development of digital technologies provides multiple potentials and path to achieve the modernization of China’s health governance. the role of digital technologies on enabling multiple stakeholders (i.e., hospitals, doctors, government, and social groups) to improve the supply capacity, the inclusiveness, fairness, friendliness, and convenience of health service. Second, we explore the four key issues of using digital technologies to enable the governance of health construction of digital health infrastructures, the factors affecting the adoption of digital technologies, the identification of data assets, data security, and ethics of science and technology. Given the international experience of using digital technologies in health, we propose policy recommendations on deepening digital technologies to enable the modernization of China’s health governance: taking road confidence as the core, pulling health demand with dynamic health scenarios, pushing health supply by integrating digital technologies, focusing on value creation and guiding the coordinated governance of multiple stakeholders, and participating in global innovation and taking China’s responsibility to advocate Tech for Good.
From the perspective of patent-industry innovation chain, this paper analyzed the regional differences of the patent technology innovation efficiency and industrial technology innovation efficiency in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, as well as the spatial patterns and industrial characteristics of cities with various types of technological innovation efficiency. It is found that there are significant differences in patent and industrial technology innovation efficiency among the three urban agglomerations. The patent technology innovation efficiency in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration is relatively high, while that in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations is relatively low. The cities with high industrial technological innovation efficiency show a continuous distribution pattern around Beijing and Tianjin in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, a central-periphery structure in the Yangtze River Delta, and a centripetal distribution pattern in the Pearl River Delta. More than 50% of the listed high-tech enterprises in the cities with high industrial technological innovation efficiency are strategic emerging industry enterprises. Most of the cities with low industrial technological innovation efficiency are located far away from the provincial capital cities and municipalities directly under the central government, and the number of listed high-tech enterprises in these cities is small. In view of the present situation of technological innovation efficiency of the three major urban agglomerations, this paper puts forward different innovative development strategies.
The rapid development of information technology has unprecedentedly created a prosperous cyber society and greatly enhanced productivity facilitated by social interaction. At the same time, many problems emerge in the cyber society, such as telecom fraud, privacy leakage, Internet pollution, and algorithmic discrimination. The problems bring new challenges to social order and security. In order to find the way of cyber society governance and promote the modernization of national governance, this paper first analyzes the new problems encountered in the cyber society in three typical scenarios, i.e., identity governance, behavior governance, and algorithm governance, as well as their risks to the economy, society, and security. Furthermore, this paper lists the key challenges for the problem governance, and presents technical countermeasures for modern governance of cyber society from three levels of chip, system, and algorithm.
