Science and technology are the primary productive forces

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces" is an important assertion put forward by Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping always attached great importance to the role of science and technology in social and economic development. As early as September 26, 1975, when listening to the work report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in view of the actual situation at that time, he clearly pointed out: "Science and technology are called productivity, and scientific and technological personnel are workers!" At the National Science Conference held in March 1978 At the opening ceremony of the conference, Deng Xiaoping pointed out: Science and technology are productive forces, which is the historical view of Marxism. The development of modern science and technology has made the relationship between science and production closer and closer. As a productive force, science and technology are increasingly playing a huge role [1].

On September 5, 1988, when Deng Xiaoping met with Czechoslovak President Husak, he put forward the important conclusion that "science and technology are the primary productive forces". On September 12 of the same year, when listening to the work report of relevant central leaders, he pointed out: We must pay attention to education and science and technology. We must fully understand the importance of science and technology. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and intellectuals are part of the working class. In early 1992, during his inspection tour of the South, Deng Xiaoping once again emphasized that science and technology are the primary productive forces. A breakthrough in the high-tech field has led to the development of a number of industries
