China's information technology needs to be further developed, not only to create but also to design

Shichang, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a material biologist, said in an event that China's information technology needs to be further developed, not only will it be manufactured, but also designed by itself, "at present, many products also rely on the introduction from abroad, which is to solve the core competitiveness must overcome the problem.

In Shichang view, China's integrated circuit technology than the international advanced level of two generations, to narrow the gap, but also need to make breakthroughs in the core technology. "Although some progress has been made, such as expo tickets, traffic cards, electronic IDs, and TD-SCDMA technology for mobile communications ... Domestic chip has been widely used, but the current communication and computer fields, many products also rely on the introduction from abroad. Shichang said that China's current integrated circuit technology is still 0.18 microns, 0.25 microns, and the international advanced technology has reached 32 nm (0.032 microns), the technology has matured. At present, China's integrated circuit chip 80% rely on imports, in this respect consumption of foreign exchange over oil, become the first foreign exchange consumer consumption. He said that if the development of China's information industry in such a way, "will be subject to all aspects of the restrictions, some of the core technology abroad is difficult to transfer out." If they do not develop, the core technology is still in the hands of others.

Therefore, to enhance the degree of informatization in China, we must improve the core technical capabilities. Shichang says that inside, the IC is the heart and the software is the brain. Not only the integrated circuit industry urgently needs the independent design, the manufacture, the software also needs to develop, both must "handover". He believes that the biggest benefit of independent research and development is to stay in China, "we use mobile phones, computers, many of the core things are in foreign countries, China is only assembly, assembly can produce value, is the low-end of the industrial chain, the value is very low." And once the core technology is in their own hands, the economic benefits will remain in China.
