This paper explores the pivotal role of technological innovation in ensuring China’s economic security amid increasing global uncertainty and geopolitical competition. As the world’s second-largest economy, China faces growing challenges related to technological dependency, supply chain vulnerabilities, and external restrictions on high-tech sectors. The study highlights how innovation-driven development has become the foundation of China’s strategy to achieve economic self-reliance, resilience, and sustainable growth.
The research analyzes key state policies, including Made in China 2025, the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the dual circulation strategy, which collectively aim to enhance domestic innovation capacity, promote technological sovereignty, and reduce external risks. It also discusses the role of artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and digital finance in strengthening China’s economic and cyber security.
The paper concludes that technological innovation serves as a strategic shield for China’s economy, enabling it to withstand external shocks, improve industrial competitiveness, and secure long-term national interests. Through comprehensive institutional reforms and continuous investment in research and development, China is gradually transforming into a global leader in science and technology, redefining the future of global economic security.
