1. National Bureau of Statistics: China's IC grew by 18.7% last year;
Gathering micro-network news, the National Bureau of Statistics released the "Statistical Communiqué of the People's Republic of China on National Economic and Social Development in 2017". The communique shows that the annual added value of '11' for strategic emerging industries above designated size has increased by 11.0% over the previous year. The technological manufacturing '12' added value increased by 13.4%, accounting for 12.7% of the industrial added value above designated size. The equipment manufacturing industry '13' added value increased by 11.3%, accounting for 32.7% of the industrial added value above designated size. The output of new energy vehicles was 690,000 units, an increase of 51.2% over the previous year; the production of smart TVs was 96.66 million units, an increase of 3.8%; the output of industrial robots was 130,000 units (sets), an increase of 81.0%; the production of civilian drones was 2.9 million, an increase of 67.0%.
Among them, IC production has increased significantly in the past two years. Following a growth of 21.2% in 2016, the growth rate was still 18.7% last year.
When Premier Li Keqiang’s government work report referred to “accelerating the building of a manufacturing powerhouse” this year, it clearly listed five industries that will promote integrated circuits, fifth-generation mobile communications, aircraft engines, new energy vehicles, and new materials. Among them, integrated circuits In the first place.
2. The 12-inch lead project of Shanghai IC R&D Center is basically completed this year;
According to the micro-network news, in Shanghai in 2018, a total of 126 major projects for major projects in the city were organized, 22 projects were prepared, 14 projects were newly started, and 18 projects were basically completed. The planned investment for the entire year was no less than 135 billion yuan, reaching the highest level in recent years. .
In the field of industrial projects, we actively promoted the satellite development project of Shanghai Microsatellite Engineering Center. The 12-inch lead project of Shanghai IC R&D Center was basically completed this year, and new hard X-ray free electron laser devices in Shanghai were started.
According to the briefing, the major tasks for the construction of Shanghai Municipality were fully completed in 2017. The investment for the entire year was 134.29 billion yuan, a record high since the World Expo.
3. Fudan University studies new generation of implantable artificial photoreceptors to help visual recovery;
Sensitive cells (photoreceptors) sensitive to light in the retina are exposed to light to generate electrical signals that initiate the visual process. Once photoreceptors are damaged or degenerate (such as common macular degeneration), photoreceptors cannot repair themselves, often leading to blindness. Artificial methods to restore the retinal photoreceptivity is a major problem for neuroscience and clinical medicine. Recently, researchers from Fudan University’s Institute of Brain Research, Associate Professor of Zhongshan Hospital Adjunct Professor Zhang Jiaxuan and Advanced Materials Laboratory Professor Zheng Xiaofeng teamed together for three years. With unremitting efforts, the light-sensitive nanowire arrays were implanted into the eyes of blind mice to restore their vision. On March 7, Beijing time, the relevant research results were “nanowire arrays restore vision in blind mice” (Nanowire arrays restore vision in blind mice). ) is published online in Nature Communications (Nat. Comm., 2018, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03212-0).
The team, inspired by the structure and function of photoreceptors, developed an artificial photoreceptor of a gold nanoparticle-modified titanium dioxide nanowire array that allowed the remaining ganglion cells in the retina of a blind mouse Brain central visual acuity) restored light responses to green, blue, and near ultraviolet light with sensitivity to light and spatial resolution approaching normal mice The team further implanted a nanowire array on the fundus of a living blind mouse , Found that neurons in the central visual cortex (visual cortex) also regained their response to light and pupil light reflexes improved, showing that blind mice have recovered their vision. The findings provide a new avenue for the treatment of diseases such as macular degeneration : Helps visual recovery by developing a new generation of implantable artificial photoreceptors.

4. Du Xiaogang, secretary of Kunshan: Strict control of the PCB industry to the mid-to-high end of the industry;
On the 6th, NPC deputies from Kunshan City attended the review of the Jiangsu delegation by the NPC deputies. At the request of China's high-quality economic development, Du Xiaogang, the party secretary and mayor of Kunshan, pointed out that Kunshan's industry should be led to a medium-to-high end with a focus on restructuring and upgrading. Innovative development, grasp the quality and efficiency.
Du Xiaogang said: On the one hand, it will create high-end industries and make every effort to enlarge and strengthen optoelectronics, semiconductors, small nucleic acids, biomedicine and smart manufacturing industries; on the other hand, it will do a good job in high-quality projects, strengthen cooperation with top-level enterprises, speed up the introduction of core technologies and investments Massive, strong leading project.
Kunshan, a Taiwan-funded company, recently began to strictly control the PCB industry because of water supply. Du Xiaogang directed environmental protection. He said that the people are looking forward to food and clothing and hope for environmental protection. They hope to survive and hope to be ecological. Kunshan will make great efforts to shape the environment. The beauty of the ecological environment, the implementation of eco-environment construction practical projects, increase efforts to rectify black and odor rivers, vigorously implement ecological restoration projects, and make every effort to fight pollution prevention and combat, in promoting the high quality of economic development, while accelerating the realization of the high value of the ecological environment.
5. The number of returnees in mainland China exceeded 265 million. Master's degree is as high as 81%.
Yin Zhijun, Chairman of China Micro Devices, Yao Lijun, Chairman of Ningbo Jiangfeng Electronic Materials, and Wang Shumin, Chairman of Anji Microelectronics (Shanghai), the three leaders of the mainland semiconductor industry share a common ground: Haigui faction's overseas returnees.
Zhang Yimin, a professor of finance at China Europe International Business School, said that a group of returnees represented by these three people are leading China in making major breakthroughs in technology in key areas of the semiconductor industry.
In fact, not only in the high-tech field, various industries in mainland China today can see more and more students returning to China to start their own businesses and employ international students. The network has even emerged as such: 'More than seven years ago, China sent seven people to study abroad. , Welcome back one person; Now, send seven back eight, with family members. '
According to statistics from the Ministry of Education of China, the number of returned overseas students in 2016 was 432,500, an increase of nearly 60% compared with five years ago. This has also led to a shrinking of the 'talent deficit' of mainland students returning abroad and the number of students leaving the country. It is 544.5 thousand people.
The media estimated that the number of returnees to mainland China will even exceed the number of students studying abroad by 2017. As of 2016, the number of mainland returnees has exceeded 2.65 million, of whom about 81% have master's degrees and 11% have doctoral degrees.
One of the main reasons for returning a large number of overseas students is that in recent years the mainland has sought to attract talented people from the central government to local places and have all kinds of attractive preferential policies in return for employment, entrepreneurship and even life. For instance, in 2018, Entrepreneurial start-up back to support the plan, the highest selected project can get 500,000 yuan grant.
Although the return of international students has become a trend, but the State Council Premier Li Keqiang still proposed in this year's government work report, it will expand incentives for high-skilled personnel, encourage overseas students to return to China to innovate, start businesses, and broaden the 'green channel' for foreign talents. Gathering the wisdom of the public to force ', out of China's innovation 'acceleration'. Economic Daily
