In 1956, the State Council constituted a committee of scientific plans and set about to draw China's first development program for science and technology, 12-Year Perspective Long-term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology, 1956-1967. A series of new technology has emerged and advanced, and many new industrial enterprises emerge and grow along with it.
In Oct., 1964, China had successively conducted the first nuclear test. It epitomizes the intelligence and wisdom of China's technological personnel, and it also shows that China's science and technology in these fields have reached a higher degree, and China is initially capable of conducting scientic research independently. 10-Year upheaval from 1966 to 1976 has seriously devastated China's vigorously developing scientic and technological programm, and paralyzed work in science and technology.
After the 10-year upheaval, the state has shifted the focus of work onto the drive for four modernizations. In a relatively short period of time, a set of science and technology management institutions, scientific research institutions and academic institutions are restored and rebuilt. New development programs for science and technology are worked out throughout the country. The State Science and Technology Commission has managed to draft The Outline of the Program for National Science and Technology Development from 1978 to 1985 ( Draft .) Among the major projects, 8 comprehensive subjects affecting the overall situation are placed in prominent position, agriculture, energy, material, electronic computer, laser, space science, high energy physics, and genetic engineering.
In 1955, national conference on science and technology is held, and the government begins to adopt the development strategy of "relying on science and education to rejuvenate the nation." During the 20 years since 1980, aiming at the advanced stage in the world, China's scientific and technological undertakings develop rapidly along the right road and have made conspicuously great achievements. First, it has solved a set of key technological problems in the construction of national economy. Second, high-tec research and industrialization of high and new technology have made relatively great progress. Third, the effect of the commercialization of research findings is notable. Fourth, the reform of scientific and technological system gradually deepens. Fifth, basic research has certain effect in the world. Sixth, technological opening continues to expand. Seventh, a personnel of cross-century talent in science and technology is initially founded. Eighth, science and technology law and regulation system have been improved. The outstanding representatives among them are Lisiguang who rids China of the label of "lack in petroleum", Qianxuesen, the father of China's missile, Qiansanqiang who presides to establish the institute of atomic energy, Tang'aoqing, the father of quantum chemistry in China, Yuanlongping, the father of hybrid paddy, Wangxuan who leads China's technological revolution newspaper and printing,……
Scientific Research Institutions
Chinese Academy of Sciences
Chinese Academy of Sciences was established on Nov., 1, 1949. Its first president is Guomoruo, an the present president is Luyongxiang. In the early days of Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has more than 40 scientific research institutions and 500 scientists and technicians. During half of the century after its establishment, today it has more than 120 institutes, 5 sections, 3 universities, more than 400 high-tech enterprises and 50000 scientists and technicians, and becomes the strongest scientific research group that enjoys high international prestige in the field of comprehensive study of natural science and high-tech.
Chinese Academy of Engineering
The Chinese Academy of Engineering is the highest honorary and advisory academic institution in China. It was established in June, 1994. The Chinese Academy of Engineering is composed of academicians. It carries out strategic study of the nation's important engineering scientific and technological problems, provides decision-making advices, and works to promote the development of engineering science and technology undertakings. Its main task is to promote the unity and cooperation of the world of national engineering science and technology and the continuous improvement of the level of China's engineering science and technology, to enhance the construction and training of the contingent of engineering scientific and technological personnel and the best men, and to serve the sustained development of the national economy.
