Abstract: Since the end of the Middle Ages, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States, has successively become the world’s science and technology centre. The combination of societal factors, such as economic prosperity, ideological emancipation, education development, and government’s strong support, and timely appearance of scientific achievements, jointly lead to the formation, evolution and transfer of the centre whilst a diamond model composed of these five elements can be utilized to analyse of this process. The innovation of global science and technology has entered an unprecedented period featured by its intensity, providing a perfect "window of opportunity" for China to become a world science and technology centre. It is vital for china to emancipate the mind, improve the personnel system, create an innovation-friendly environment, speed up the establishment of a world education centre, enhance government’s support, solve problems occurring during development, preemptive frontier research and subversive technological innovation.
