Innovation will be put at the core position for China's development in the five years from 2016. That's according to a communique released following a meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Party leaders discussed an economic blueprint that will set the direction for the world's second-largest economy over the next five years.
The government says that sectors including science, technology and culture need to be made more innovative.
China plans to encourage a system that nurtures innovation and sees better allocation of resources including labor, capital, land, technology and management.
The country will continue to encourage mass entrepreneurship in the hope that it will lead to new technology.

Two recent incidents in which Chinese students' international test results have been withheld or canceled have pushed educators to advise those planning to study abroad to hone their language skills instead of just learning by rote.
All 360 Chinese students who took the Upper Level Secondary School Admission Test in Beijing and Shanghai on Sept 19 had their results canceled recently. The test, administered by the Secondary School Admission Test Board, is one of the basic requirements for candidates to enter secondary schools in the United States.
In late September, at least 100 Chinese students who had sat exams under the International English Language Testing System in August and September received messages from the British Council, which administered the test, saying that their results would be "withheld permanently".
The authorities of the two tests said that the results couldn't reflect the students' real level of attainment, and therefore the results were withheld or canceled in order to ensure the validity and integrity of the tests.
Although the U.S. test authority and the British Council didn't elaborate further on the reasons, tutors believed that a major cause may be Chinese students' practice of memorizing test answers in advance.
It is a common practice in China that students preparing for tests memorize the questions and answers shared on the Internet by previous test takers.
In Western countries, such practices are seen as strongly breaching test rules.

近日发生了两起中国学生在国际考试中的成绩被延迟公布或取消的事件，教育学者建议那些计划出国留学的学生提高语言技能而不是死记硬背的学习。
SSAT官方取消了今年9月19日北京和上海地区360名考生Upper Level SSAT的考试成绩。这项考试由美国中学入学考试委员会主办，是留学生进入美国中学的基本要求之一。
九月末，至少100名参加8月和9月国际英语语言测试系统（雅思）考试的中国学生收到了雅思主办方英国文化协会的通知，称他们的考试成绩将永久不公布。
两项考试的主办方都表示，这些考试成绩不能反映学生的真实水平，为了确保考试的有效性和真实性，采取不公布或取消成绩的方法。
虽然美国考试主办方和英国文化协会并没有详细解释原因，但是教师认为主要原因是中国学生在考试前背诵考试答案。
对准备国际考试的学生来说，背诵以前考生提供在网上的问题和答案是种常规做法。
但是在西方国家，这种做法被视为严重违反考试规则。
