China is still the only middle-income economy in the list of the world's top 30 most innovative economies, establishing itself as a global innovation leader and approaching the top 10, according to a report released by the World Intellectual property organization (WIPO) on Sept 20.
世界知识产权组织（WIPO）9月20日发布的一份报告显示，中国仍然是全球30大最具创新性经济体中唯一的中等收入经济体，已成为全球创新领导者，并接近前10名。
WIPO's "Global Innovation Index (GII) 2021" shows that China has made continuous progress from ranking 14th last year to 12th this year and is now "knocking at the door of the GII top 10," which "underlines the continued importance of governmental policies and incentives to stimulate innovation."
WIPO的“2021年全球创新指数（GII）”表明，中国已经从去年的第14位持续进步到今年的第12位，现在正在“敲响GII前10名的大门”，这“强调了政府刺激创新的政策和激励措施的持续重要性”
Since 2013, China has moved up the GII ranks consistently and steadily, establishing itself as a global innovation leader.
自2013年以来，中国一直稳步提升GII排名，成为全球创新领导者。
According to the GII, the number of China's patents by origin, scaled by gross domestic product (GDP), is higher than those of Japan, Germany and the United States, and is even more impressive when considered in absolute terms. The same is true for the number of trademarks and industrial designs by origin as a percentage of GDP.
根据GII的数据，按原产地、按国内生产总值（GDP）衡量的中国专利数量高于日本、德国和美国，从绝对值来看更令人印象深刻。按原产地划分的商标和工业设计数量占GDP的百分比也是如此。
In terms of innovation clusters geographically, the top 10 list remains the same as last year with only minor shifts. Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou and Beijing now rank second and third, respectively, after the Tokyo-Yokohama cluster in Japan. Shanghai ranks eighth. Of the top 100 clusters, China has 19.
就创新集群的地理位置而言，前十名的排名与去年一样，只是略有变化。深圳、香港、广州和北京目前分别排在日本东京-横滨集群之后的第二和第三位。上海排名第八。在前100个集群中，中国有19个。
Published annually, the Global Innovation Index provides performance measures and ranks 132 economies on their innovation ecosystems. As in past years, Switzerland, Sweden, the United States and the United Kingdom continue to lead the innovation ranking. Other countries in the GII top 10 include South Korea, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, Denmark and Germany.
全球创新指数（Global Innovation Index）每年发布一次，提供绩效指标，并对132个经济体的创新生态系统进行排名。与往年一样，瑞士、瑞典、美国和英国继续保持创新排名的领先地位。其他进入GII前10名的国家包括韩国、荷兰、芬兰、新加坡、丹麦和德国。
According to WIPO director general Daren Tang, "in spite of the massive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic … many sectors have shown remarkable resilience, especially those that have embraced digitalization, technology and innovation."
根据WIPO总干事Daren Tang的说法，“尽管新冠疫情造成了巨大影响……但许多部门都表现出了非凡的恢复力，特别是那些已经接受数字化、技术和创新的部门。”
"As the world looks to rebuild from the pandemic, we know that innovation is integral to overcoming the common challenges that we face and to constructing a better future," he said.
他说：“当世界期待着从这场流行病中重建时，我们知道创新对于克服我们面临的共同挑战和建设更美好的未来是不可或缺的。”。
