The　core　strategy　for　Chinese　industries　constructing　global　leadership　is　to　improve　the　international　competitiveness　based　on　core　technological　innovation.　One　of　the　main　problems　in　Chinese　indigenous　innovation　process　is　the　relative　low　proportion　of　basic　research　in　R&D　resources　input,　compared　with　the　rapid　growth　of　the　total　economy　amount　and　R&D　investment.　There　is　an　obvious　phenomenon　that　most　resources　of　R&D　have　been　invested　in　test　and　development　not　in　applied　research　or　basic　research.　The　paper　gives　a　detailed　analysis　to　the　problem　about　the　rule　of　resources　investment　for　basic　research　to　promote　industrial　technology　innovation　in　China　through　the　statistics　of　history　data,　focusing　on　the　resources　investment　in　basic　research　and　its　structural　changes　in　China.　Then　the　paper　discusses　the　main　problem　in　Chinese　resources　investment　for　basic　research,　namely　three　structural　imbalances,　is　the　relatively　low　investment　as　well　as　the　irrational　resources　allocation　structure,　especially　the　low　level　of　enterprises　to　participate　in　basic　research.　In　the　conclusion,　the　paper　suggests　that　the　lack　of　industry-driven　basic　research　could　not　help　Chinese　basic　research　construct　a　close　connection　with　industrial　technology　innovation,　which　making　it　difficult　for　Chinese　companies　to　build　industry　leadership　based　on　strong　knowledge　base.　©　2013　PICMET.
