Actually, there isn't much need for the scarce funds for basic research and development, as resources from nuclear and high-tech bases and social fields will naturally follow suit, just like the collaboration between West Forest Licheng Technology and Youwei Group.
But it's a different story with the proof of Yang-Mills Theory.
This is truly pure theoretical research, driving the advancement of the entire discipline. At the same time, the application of such theoretical breakthroughs to reality, generating economic benefits, often takes decades to calculate.
What's more important is that this pure theoretical research cannot directly generate benefits; it's the new technologies developed from these theories that generate profits.
