郑栅洁:中国将设立国家风险投资引导基金,目标是在20年内吸引万亿元资金,重点支持人工智能、量子技术、氢能源等前沿领域,以增强创新能力。 江贡教授:这是一个重大的发展,是全球首个由中央政府主导的巨型风险投资基金。虽然地方政府已有类似尝试,但中央政府的介入将带来更大规模的资源整合和更有效的支持,这将促进新兴产业的发展。基金将重点关注人工智能、量子计算、量子通信、机器人技术和生物技术等新兴技术领域。中国拥有强大的AI生态系统和人才储备,能够在技术突破方面取得显著进展。国际投资者对中国创新能力的看法正在转变,对中国资产的热情将持续一段时间。政府通过以旧换新等政策刺激消费,比直接发放现金更有效,因为这能确保补贴真正用于消费,并促进经济增长。财政赤字占GDP的比例小幅上升是可控的,这也有利于地方政府的正常运转。
