Significant progress has been achieved in attracting investment in the past years, with the amount of foreign investments taking a leading position among all countries, which contributes greatly to China's economic development. However, this kind of development is based on cheap labor, consumption of resources and pollution of the environment, and will not last long. Therefore, a sustainable development is the only choice for China to shift from "made in China" to "invented in China", so as to get rid the name of "world's factory". Special attention should be paid to knowledge-intensive industries, in the process of attracting foreign investment; and at the same time, step up the intellectual property protection in China, making the world intellectual property resources converge in China.

Considering the current global competition trend and the demand of domestic development, the Central Government has made a strategic decision that enhancing the capacity of independent innovation and invention will remain as the strategic basis for the development of science and technology, as well as a core element in adjusting the industrial structure, changing the growth mode, and increasing the national competitiveness.

This can also be interpreted as: a perennial and sustainable development should be based on the enhancement of capacity of independent innovation and invention and the resolution of deep-seated inconsistencies and problems accumulated in the national economic development, inter alia, the unreasonable industrial structure, the mode of extensive economic growth and the low level of technology development in industries.

Intellectual property is not only a base and index of independent innovation, but also an important instrument of market competition. As a crucial base or resource, intellective innovation will eventually be reflected by a certain product or manufacturing technology, even the innovation in system or management will not be an exception. Innovation starts from the intangible, as an inventive idea in the mind of the inventor, so is knowledge as the result of the innovative intellectual activities of human beings.
