Chen Xiaohong: Vigorously implement the deep integration of culture, science and technology

Changsha, March 7 (Reporter Huang Kelan) In the proposal submitted to the National People’s Congress in 2024, Chen Xiao Hong, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, academician of China Academy of Engineering and secretary of the Party Committee of Hunan Technology and Business University, focused on promoting the deep integration of culture and technology.

Chen Xiaohong said that in today’s world, scientific and technological innovation is unprecedentedly intensive and active, and the digital, networked and intelligent transformation of the cultural industry is accelerating. We must vigorously implement the deep integration of cultural science and technology, accelerate the integration and innovation of Chinese excellent cultural genes and a new generation of digital intelligence technology, and help realize Chinese modernization.

"At present, China’s overall management of cultural science and technology integration is increasing, but there are still problems such as poor communication and coordination, and the development of decentralization and homogenization is more prominent." Chen Xiaohong said that if the key core technologies need to be broken through quickly, the legal and intellectual property protection is relatively lagging behind, and the financing problem has not been effectively solved.
