Beijing has announced plans to co-build cooperation platforms with BRI countries such as national laboratories and research centers, technology transfer centers, and technology demonstration and promotion bases. China has committed itself to building up the S&T capacity of developing countries both in hardware (research facilities) and software (knowledge and talent pool). This includes encouraging and supporting foreign scientists to initiate and participate in strategic research, and formulation, implementation, and evaluation of guidelines as well as strengthening the local talent pool to meet the demands of the new economic situation. Based on comments in the Chinese media as well as in the speeches of PRC officials, the government is determined to expand the channels for talent introduction, attract more high-end overseas Chinese and foreign experts, and promote Chinese scientists to high positions in international S&T organizations. This may help to explain why the former State Administration for Foreign Experts is being incorporated into the MOST organization.

Equally important, Beijing has suggested enterprises also will play a more active role in promoting the country's international S&T innovation cooperation. They will be absorbed into inter-governmental S&T cooperation mechanisms, and those in good financial condition will be supported to establish overseas R&D centers to carry out international industry–university–research institute cooperation. Also, foreign companies will continue to be encouraged by the Chinese government to set up R&D centers and labs in China. Looking ahead, given that the country aims to deepen engagement in global S&T innovation governance, we likely will see more Chinese efforts at agenda setting for the global innovation system and more emphasis on rule setting for key international S&T projects to address key global challenges including food security, energy security, environmental protection, climate change, and public health. It remains unclear, however, whether the international S&T community will welcome a stepped-up Chinese presence without a series of concomitant gestures from Beijing with respect to prevailing norms and values in areas such as internet freedom, cyber security, IPR protection, and research ethics.
