“Currently, the productive forces and relations of production, along with the economic base and social superstructure, have transitioned into a new historical phase of transformation that significantly surpasses the intensity of the Europe-centered industrial revolution. The globe is undergoing a comprehensive transformation of the superstructure and economic
foundation, characterized by fragmentation and reorganization. As the superstructures of nations undergo transformation, an exceptionally vigorous formatting process has commenced, particularly regarding the material foundations underlying economic
conditions and social structures. Following an extensive developmental phase, human society has arrived at a novel historical juncture and is commencing an unparalleled selfrevolution. I refer to this as the process of ‘formatting human society.’ The BRI is the only way to build a ‘process of formatting human society’ led by developing countries. The scientific and technological cooperation issues of the BRI can undoubtedly only be realized under the premise of ‘formatting human society.’ To this end, the developing countries along the BRI must become an organically integrated whole in terms of science and technology.
We must proactively identify global subjects in science and technology innovation and robustly promote enhanced international exchanges among universities and research institutes, cultivating an environment that values knowledge and creativity.”
