Synopsis
This book delves into China's ambitious Science and Technology (S&T) modernization program, examining its implementation and the challenges faced. After the Cultural Revolution decimated China's S&T capabilities, the country launched a drive to revitalize it, opening its doors to foreign technology and expertise. However, the author argues that progress in S&T is tied to broader economic and political reforms, as well as addressing the disconnect between research and industry. This book explores the efforts to improve the "implementation environment" for S&T policy, highlighting the tension between the need for central control and the demands of innovation. It discusses how economic reforms, such as the introduction of the economic responsibility system, played a role in stimulating S&T development. The author also examines the establishment of new organizational structures, such as the State Science and Technology Commission, to oversee S&T modernization. Furthermore, the book analyzes the challenges posed by legacy issues, including the continued influence of leftist elements and the need to change attitudes towards intellectuals. Overall, this book provides insights into the complexities of implementing S&T policy in a rapidly changing society and the ongoing efforts to harness S&T for China's economic development.
