对一九七八年二十二个成套设备项目引进的历史回顾

A Historical Review of the 22 Projects for Introducing Complete Plants and Equipment in 1978

为了加快我国经济发展的速度,实现经济建设的跃进目标,1978年我国从西方国家集中引进了22个成套设备项目。这些项目按计划大都应在1979年开工建设,1980年、1981年进入施工高潮。1979年开始的国民经济调整,打乱了这些项目的引进、建设进程。这些项目有的缩小了规模,有的退回了部分合同,有的推迟了建设,有的停止了对外谈判。这些项目的引进和建设,对我国社会主义现代化建设起了重要作用,同时也留下了一些经验教训。

In order to accelerate the economic development and fulfill the ambitious objectives of economic construction China decided in 1978 to introduce in a big way 22 whole sets of complete plants and equipmcnt from the Western countries. Most of the projects were planned to start construction in 1979 and go into full swing in 1980 and 1981. The national economic readjustment beginning in 1979 disrupted the original plan of introduction and construction. Of these projects, some were cut down in size and some were postponed ; and for some others, part of contracts were returned or the negotiations with foreign countries stopped. The introduction and construction of these plants and equipment played an important role for the socialist modernization drive in China but there were also lessons for us to draw from these projects.
