Abstract

Achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement necessitates the cultivation of commensurate strategic soft power. This study aims to elucidate how strategic scientists and the Chinese spirit of scientists, through deep-seated “systematic interaction”, form a “dual helix engine” that propels the national innovation system toward an advanced stage. Drawing on complex adaptive systems theory, a three-layer dynamic interaction model is constructed comprising “value internalization–organizational empowerment – ecological co-evolution”. The findings indicate that strategic scientists serve as the personified carriers and strategic executors of the Chinese spirit of scientists. Through paradigm guidance, institutional creation, and cross-boundary catalysis, they translate spiritual values into strategic capabilities for overcoming challenges. In turn, the Chinese spirit of scientists provides essential value orientation, ethical foundation, and resilience support, ensuring that their strategic actions align with national needs. The “strategy–spirit” dual helix structure formed by their interaction is crucial for transforming the innovation system from factor-driven to innovation-driven, and from catch-up imitation to original leadership. In response to the new development stage of the 15th Five-Year Plan, this study proposes systematic policy recommendations encompassing the reconstruction of evaluation systems, the consolidation of organizational platforms, and the cultivation of an innovation ecosystem. These measures aim to strengthen the dual helix driving force, thereby providing solid support for accelerating the development of new quality productive forces and realizing Chinese-style modernization.
