中国正走在伟大的民族复兴之路上，中国的发展道路已比较明晰。十八大报告提出“实施创新驱动发展战略”，“坚持走中国特色自主创新道路”，“把全社会智慧和力量凝聚到创新发展上来”。在将来的发展道路上，“中国创造”的理念将逐渐取代“中国制造”而为世界所广泛认知。中国发展的自身实力，我们会借鉴外国先进技术，但更主要靠自己的努力。

　　China is on the road to great national rejuvenation and is heading in a clear development direction. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China suggested that China should “carry out an innovation-driven development strategy”, “stick to the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics”, and “pool the wisdom and strength of the whole of society and concentrate on innovation and development”. In the future, “made in China” will give way to “created in China”, and the creation will be recognized world wide. In the process of its development, China will draw lessons from foreign advanced technology, but more importantly, it should rely on its own efforts.
