中拉高科技合作虽然始于20世纪80年代末的航天领域,但只是与巴西在资源卫星合作领域达成意向性合作协议,尚未有实质性合作进展,而且只是单个例子,没有形成规模效应。高科技的多领域多国家立体合作还是进入21世纪之后的事情。在目前公认的六大高科技领域中,中拉合作的重点领域聚焦于信息技术、新能源技术、生物技术和空间技术四大领域,并且已在相应国家产生了示范效应或有了突破。其他两大领域以及跨领域或交叉领域合作甚少,说明中拉在未来的高科技合作中前景广阔,而且会形成多米诺骨牌效应和网络效应,但也存在复杂的不可确定和不可预知的系统效应,中拉双方应在战略平衡基础上,重点制定高科技发展和合作的风险控制机制。
The first cooperative initiative in the field of high technology between China and Latin America started in the late 1980s,when China and Brazil signed an intent agreement focusing on cooperation in space technology. Only 11 years later,in 1999,was the first China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite(CBERS-1 successfully launched. The cooperation in multiple high technological fields and among many countries in Latin America just began since the inception of the 21st century. Currently high technological cooperation between China and Latin American countries have involved several fields,such as information technology,new energy technology,biotechnology and space technology,among others. But in some fields such as new material technology and precision manufacturing technology,there is huge potential for further cooperation. And the future cooperation in almost all high technology fields and among most Latin American countries may finally form a domino effect and a network effect. There will also be a system effect,which can be well handled by achieving strategic balance and formulating risk-control or risk-management mechanisms.
