【Xiaoping Quotes】
On October 2, 1977, when receiving the National Day delegation of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "We are not having too many overseas relations now, but too few. Overseas relations are a good thing, and they can open up all aspects of relations. ”
At the beginning of 1979, he invited industrial and commercial leaders Hu Weiwen, Hu Ziang, Rong Yiren, and others to discuss their plans, saying: "Now to engage in construction, there must be more ways to go, foreign funds and technology can be used, and overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese can also come back to set up factories." "This was undoubtedly a very bold breakthrough at the time.
In April 1979, during the CPC Central Committee Work Conference, he first put forward the bold idea of establishing a special zone, and at the meeting, he proposed that Guangdong and Fujian should implement a special policy and use overseas Chinese funds and technology, including the establishment of factories, so that it would not become capitalist. The establishment of the four special economic zones of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Xiamen and Shantou was determined precisely in consideration of the fact that these places have the advantage of investment by overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots.
In February 1984, after inspecting Xiamen, Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "We must make the whole island of Xiamen a special zone." In this way, we can absorb a large number of overseas Chinese funds, Hong Kong and Taiwan funds, and many foreigners will also come to invest, and we can also drive the surrounding areas to make the economy of the entire Fujian Province active. ”
On December 17, 1985, at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Deng Xiaoping said that he had just given instructions on a letter transmitted by Yang Shangkun, suggesting that Chinese and ethnic Chinese should be used to work for us. Deng Xiaoping admired this approach, saying: "Some people can come back to work, and they can come back for a few months, but they have to solve the problem of treatment." ”
In June 1986, more than 200 relatives of the Rong family returned to the motherland from overseas for reunion and sightseeing, and many of them enjoyed high popularity in the foreign business and scientific and technological circles. Deng Xiaoping cordially received them and said to them: "We must strive for the great unity of the entire Chinese nation." You have the ability and knowledge to make an important contribution to our country. ”
On April 7, 1990, Deng Xiaoping proudly said in a meeting with Xie Guomin, chairman of the Thai Chia Tai Group, and others: "The sanctions imposed on China by some Western countries are useless. Because "we still have tens of millions of patriotic compatriots overseas, and they want China to prosper, which is unique in the world."
At the beginning of 1993, when Deng Xiaoping welcomed the New Year with people from all walks of life in Shanghai, he stressed the importance of the role of overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese, and pointed out: "China is different from all countries in the world and has its own unique opportunities. For example, we have tens of millions of patriotic compatriots overseas, and they have made a lot of contributions to the motherland. ”

"Accepting Chinese scholars to return to China is a concrete measure for us to develop science and technology."
Deng Xiaoping and Yang Zhenning at the Washington Hilton Hotel on January 30, 1979.
At the end of the 1970s, China not only had a big gap with the developed countries in the world in terms of economy, but also a gap in science and technology. The low level of science and technology and the lack of scientific and technological personnel have become important obstacles restricting reform, opening up, and modernization.
In order to raise China's scientific and technological level as soon as possible, Deng Xiaoping advocated boldly absorbing and drawing on all the achievements of civilization created by human society and "taking all the world's advanced technologies and advanced achievements as the starting point of our development."
He held that strengthening exchanges with overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese is an important and direct channel for China to learn from foreign advanced science and technology and to absorb foreign advanced scientific and technological experience and achievements. At the same time, the knowledge and experience of overseas Chinese scientists is also a unique and valuable asset for revitalizing China's scientific and technological undertakings, and "overseas Chinese and Chinese are patriotic."
Therefore, Deng Xiaoping regarded strengthening exchanges and communication with experts of Chinese descent as an important strategic measure in China's modernization drive, and proposed that "accepting Chinese scholars to return to China is a specific measure for us to develop science and technology."
On July 8, 1983, Deng Xiaoping met with Vice Premier Wan Li and Yao Yilin of the State Council, Fang Yi, director of the State Science and Technology Commission, and Song Pingping, director of the State Planning Commission, and explicitly proposed to use foreign intelligence to "invite some foreigners to participate in our key construction and construction in all aspects." According to this strategic concept, on August 24, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council made the Decision on Introducing Foreign Intelligence to Benefit the Construction of the Four Modernizations. On September 7, the central government set up a leading group for the introduction of foreign talents.
From August 1977 to the end of the year, when Deng Xiaoping had just returned, he met with overseas Chinese as many as 10 times. From the late 1970s to the entire 1980s, Deng Xiaoping frequently met with influential overseas Chinese and famous Chinese scientists (Deng Xiaoping had more contact with Nobel laureates Li Zhengdao, Yang Zhenning, and Ding Zhaozhong, famous mathematicians Chen Shengsheng, and physicists Yuan Jialuo and Wu Jianxiong), listened to their opinions and suggestions, asked about specific issues, and made decisions.
On October 10, 1977, after hearing that Professor Deng Changli, a Chinese-American and high-energy accelerator expert, visited the Institute of High Energy Physics, the Atomic Energy Research Institute, and the Broadcasting Equipment Factory, and thought that these institutions were of high level but narrow in scope, Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "This opinion is very good! We must take concrete measures, create conditions, and solve problems if we grasp them."
On December 28, 1983, Deng Xiaoping met with Professor Yang Zhenning, a Chinese-American, who proposed the establishment of a software group in the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China. Look farther ahead, or it's too late. The University of Science and Technology should be supported as a key point. ”
Under the direct impetus of Deng Xiaoping, many overseas Chinese and Chinese scientists played a very important role in promoting the development of Science and technology in China and narrowing the gap with the world.

"As long as we stand on the stand of the nation and safeguard the overall situation of the nation, we must unite greatly."
On June 26, 1983, Deng Xiaoping met with Professor Yang Liyu of the State University of New Jersey in the United States to discuss the great concept of "one country, two systems".
Recovering sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao and realizing the peaceful reunification of the mainland and Taiwan are not only the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, but also an inevitable requirement and an important component part of the great cause of national rejuvenation.
Deng Xiaoping clearly pointed out: "The reunification of the country is the wish of the entire Chinese nation. This is not only beneficial to future generations, but also a major event in China's five-thousand-year history. ”
Deng Xiaoping once pointed out: "After the reunification of the motherland, all the descendants of the Chinese nation will not only stand up, but also fly. In the great course of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, resolving the Taiwan issue, returning Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland, and accomplishing the great cause of reunification was one of the issues that Deng Xiaoping was most concerned about and focused on.
On December 14, 1982, Deng Xiaoping met with newly elected members of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Professor Ma Bi, who had returned to the mainland from Taiwan, and Fan Shoukang, a former professor at National Taiwan University who had returned from the United States to settle down, and encouraged them to contribute to the cause of the peaceful reunification of the motherland: "Your actions must have a far-reaching impact. The country always wants to be unified, and you take the lead, and that's important. ”
On January 11, 1982, when Deng Xiaoping met with Li Yaozi (chairman of the Chinese Association of America and professor of the Department of Aerospace at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States), he talked to him about the idea of resolving the Taiwan issue, and for the first time used the phrase "one country, two systems." Deng Xiaoping also hoped that he would have the opportunity to go to Taiwan and send a letter to Chiang Ching-kuo, and he was eager to meet again. To this end, Li Yaozi very solemnly went to Taiwan, met Chiang Ching-kuo's son Zhang Xiaoyan (蒋孝燕), and passed on Deng Xiaoping's message.
On June 26, 1983, when Deng Xiaoping met with Yang Liyu, a professor at The University of The East of New Jersey who graduated from the Department of History of National Taiwan University, he elaborated on the six specific principles and policies for realizing the peaceful reunification of the mainland and Taiwan, and stressed: "The core of the issue is the reunification of the motherland. Peaceful reunification has become the common language of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. We hope that the two parties will jointly complete national reunification and that everyone will make contributions to the Chinese nation. ”
On October 4, 1984, Deng Xiaoping met and set up a luncheon to entertain Ding Zhaozhong and his father, Professor Ding Guanhai, who returned to China to attend the 35th anniversary of the National Day ceremony. Deng Xiaoping expounded to them the concept of "one country, two systems." When Ding Zhaozhong offered to meet Deng Xiaoping in Taiwan, Deng Xiaoping immediately said, "Yes, I would like to." ”
For Deng Xiaoping in his later years, the reunification of the motherland was a major concern for him, "I hope that the country can be reunified as soon as possible." To this end, he particularly emphasized the strength of condensing the sons and daughters of China at home and abroad: "As long as we stand on the stand of the nation and safeguard the overall situation of the nation, we must unite greatly." "Compatriots on the mainland, compatriots in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, and overseas Chinese, all of them are descendants of the Chinese nation." We must work together to realize the reunification of the motherland and the rejuvenation of the nation. ”
