Abstract:    In the strategy of innovation and development, we should not only focus on the promotion of faster and more efficient innovation practice in various forms, but also encourage to take a more forward-looking and introspective way, that is, the responsible innovation (RI) strategy. It is an elementary proposition that scholars should clarify in "the new stage of development in China", who is responsible for innovation? Who is innovation responsible for and what responsibility? This is the core of China′s challenge of "kicking the ladder". The RI strategy should make innovation subjects of responsible for the interests of the state (our country-China), enterprises and people at each innovation stage, break the "Decoupling" risk, and maintain the advantages of enterprises (including state-owned enterprises and private enterprises) in global competition. According to the new proposal in the study, we emphasize that the implementation of RI strategy needs to build new concepts and policies at first; give completed play to the essential functions of the government in leading and promoting the formulation and implementation of RI industrial policies, and pay special attention to actively exploring new models of the national industrial systems; give full consider to the leading role of enterprises and market decisions; maintain and consolidate the channel to absorb the worldwide knowledge spillover; to build an independent and controllable innovation chain and form a new pattern of scientific and technological security among the major countries.Whether it is the experience that has created many economic miracles in the past, or the performance in this new coronal crisis, the strategy of responsible innovation has shown its advantages in economic growth, national security, economic security, human health, and environmental optimization. The implementation of such strategies was one of the reasons for the success of the first-mover countries, which, following the implementation of responsible innovation strategies with a country-specific character, not only had a tendency to "kick down the ladder", but were also committed to requiring the latter countries to assume responsibility for innovation for all humankind. This should cause our vigilance, but also gives us many important enlightenments, that is, China should also promote responsible innovation at the level of national strategy, and implement in the actual action of enterprises and industries, so that it can become a successful development of economic strategy.More importantly, this strategy is attributed to the national strategy that China urgently needs to establish, which helps us to accurately grasp the successful experience of the past and reduce or even avoid the possibility of failure in the global innovation chain in the new stage of development. We further put forward that the discussion on responsibility is still relatively narrow, especially the lack of in-depth discussion on innovation subjects. This article argues that the discussion of more value subjects should be included, such as the state, local governments, industries, and other value subjects. Therefore, responsible innovation opens a new research perspective and clues for the theory and practice of corporate social responsibility, and expands the original understanding of enterprises, "society" and "responsibility". However, what is the relationship between CSR and responsible innovation, whether CSR should be included in the framework of responsible innovation, which need to be more in-depth verification and summary.
