Zhang Guangjun, Vice Minister of Science and Technology and a member of the ministry’s Party Leadership Group, delivered remarks at the opening of the High-Level Meeting on International Cooperation in Open Science in Shanghai on September 11. The meeting, themed “Joint Consultation and Contribution, Shared Benefits and Win-Win Outcomes,” covers six topics including global open science governance, capacity building in developing countries, global sharing of open science data, shared research infrastructure and resources, open circulation of world-class science journals, and public engagement with open science.

The agenda's inclusion of open data sharing, shared research infrastructure and the circulation of journals signals that Beijing wants a voice in setting the rules for scientific openness, not just participating in them. The framing around developing-country capacity building and 'win-win outcomes' positions China as a champion of the Global South's access to research, a lane that carries weight as data and infrastructure governance fragments along geopolitical lines. Whether the six topics move from dialogue to concrete mechanisms is the open question.
