Since the Chinese Communists has held the reins of the mainland, the Chinese Communist regime has spent most of its resources on the development of military technology and industry. For the last thirty years or more, six major industrial systems established in weaponry, aeronautics, nucleonics, electricity, cosmonautics, and navigation have been reformed into a relatively complete network of military technological industry. However, those achievements are disconnected from the economic and social construction. The biased policy, therefore, caused a vastly diverse result that the satellite goes around the earth in geostationary orbits while the people still cultivate farms with hands in a very primitive state. As we know, the false dichotomy has given an incongruous appearance to the mainland. Consequently, the Chinese Communists have learned a lesson through their trying experience and they, in 1979, decided on a counterbalancing policy that THE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE LED BY ECONOMIC CONSTRUCTION. Hence they enhanced the economic construction with the transference of the military technology and the help of the military industry and technology and, furthermore, converted them into social productivity. Therefore, a change in quality has happened since then. On the one hand, the new policy will release the restraints that occurred during the development of economic construction; On the other hand, as a main contributor, it will press the economic innovation forward. The Chinese Communists authorities predict that the new system will have settled down before 1990, and the new model will function before 2000 and lead to an improvement in the appearance of economic society.
Judged by externals, this innovation seems hopeful; however, we should view the matter in its true light and look further into its internals. There are several questions to be raised:
(1) What is the actual thing behind its front?
(2) Is this plan of transference is feasible or not?
(3) How does it come? Why should we believe so?
(4) What are they going to change or transfer in the conversion?
(5) How does the innovation stand now? What will it be? In this book, I prudently discuss the background and environment, contents and functions, operation and process, portentiality and capacity, and favorable or unfavorable factors. I point out questions and then, through well-organized research analyze and answer each of them.
As for the transition, the Chinese Communists are progressing in the combination of comprehensive development, such as:
To build audio-visual education systems through the communications satellite.
To improve used industrial and agricultural production techniques through the introduction and transference of new technology.
To develop natural resources through technology-intensive products such as the geoprobe and the high-resolution camera satellite.
To earn more foreign exchange by increasing arms sales in the international market.
To promote product quality through using new materials and techniques thereby increasing the share and strengthening the competitive ability in the market.
Henceforth, the military technology and the military industry should be getting more and more important to the Chinese economic and social construction. If there is not much internal or external change taking place, the transference of various pieces of technology will incessantly progress and even become the most important ingredient of the new economic construction in the future. The Chinese Communist Party on the mainland has never done such a thing before, so it is a momentous event for the future development of their innovations. Great importance should be attached to the effect and the influence of the transition when we evaluate the future development of the economic and social construction on the mainland.
