The Governance Podcast | Why sci-tech progress calls for both self-reliance and international cooperation

This episode looks at how President Xi Jinping sees the relationship between self-reliance and international cooperation. Self-reliance in science and technology is not about working in isolation, but taking the initiative in the global innovation network. While China recognizes the need for self-driven innovation and progress, it also recognizes that, in today’s world, international cooperation is inevitable since no country can be completely independent from the global system.
