Development of Our Country's IT Industry in the New Period

Abstract

Information Technology (IT) is one of the most rapidly evolving, widely used, and pervasive high technologies in the world today. The level of a country's IT is a prominent indication of its capacity for innovation. The history of the development of science and technology reveals that it formerly took a long time to turn scientific discoveries and technological innovations into industrial applications. Much of the time, it is not a lack of potential to make progress but a lack of nerve and knowledge to innovate that stands in the way. In many circumstances, it is not a lack of possibility for breakthroughs but a lack of confidence in victory that prevents from achieving success. From an objective survey of the development history of the Chinese IT industry, one can perceive a buildup of energy, and has every reason to expect that breakthroughs on the way. The country will undoubtedly become a world leader in IT as long as it perseveres on the path of developing the IT industry with Chinese characteristics.
