觉醒——中国科技政策的演变

Awakening-Evolution of China's Science & Technology Policies

100多年前中国人就认识到科学技术的重要性,但1911年推翻清王朝后.内战、抗日占去了近50年,真正的科学技术发展开始于新中国成立以后。随着政治、经济形势的变化,中国的科技政策不断改变。本文主要阐述了1978年改革开放以后中国科学技术和教育事业的进步和现状。作者认为,中国的工业化比欧美晚了150年.科学技术晚了200年;近30年有些进步,但要建成全面小康社会、科技发达的国家.中国人需要再奋斗50年;当前应该埋头苦干、韬光养晦,继续向科学先进的国家学习,学会自主创新,实现可持续发展,才能为人类科学事业做一点迟到的贡献。

Chinese people became aware of the significance of science and technology as early as 100 years ago. The Qing Empire was overthrown in 1911, followed by China＇s civil wars and the War of Resistance against the Japanese invasion that had lasted for nearly 50 years. The genuine science and technology development was not originated until the founding of the People＇s Republic of China. China＇s science and technology policies have been constantly changing along with the change of the political and economic situation. This paper mainly describes the progress and status quo of China＇s science ＆ technology and education after China started its reform and opening up in 1978. The author notes that the beginning of China＇s industrialization came 150 years later than Europe and United States while the development of science and technology was 200 years later Although there has been significant progress over recent 30 years, it will still take another 5 decades for the Chinese people to forge an overall well-to-do society and a nation boasting of advanced science and technology As part of its efforts in building independent innovation capacity towards the goal of sustainable development, China will spare no effort in its self-development and cultivate its strength in a down-to-earth manner with a view to learning from developed countries in the area of science. Only in this way could China make late-coming contributions to science and technology shared by the entire mankind.
