In the final analysis, modern international competition is a competition in comprehensive national strength, and the key lies in the competition of science and technology. The formulation and implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education was gradually formed on the basis of the increasing attention paid to the role of science and technology in promoting the modernization of the mainland.
In 1993, the Law of the People's Republic of China on Science and Technology Progress was promulgated and implemented, which was the first law on science and technology in New China. In May 1995, the Party Central Committee accurately analyzed the development trend of science and technology and the situation at home and abroad, made a decision on accelerating the progress of science and technology, and determined the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.
Rejuvenating the country through science and education means comprehensively implementing the idea that science and technology are the primary productive forces, persisting in taking education as the foundation, placing science and technology and education in an important position in economic and social development, enhancing the country's scientific and technological strength and ability to transform into real productive forces, improving the scientific, technological, and cultural quality of the whole nation, shifting economic construction to the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of laborers, and accelerating the realization of national prosperity and strength.
To implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, we must constantly improve our ability to innovate. On 26 May, Jiang Zemin stressed at the National Science and Technology Conference: Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for the country's prosperity and development; a nation without the ability to innovate can hardly stand tall among the world's advanced nations. While studying and introducing advanced foreign technologies, we must unremittingly strive to improve the country's independent research and development capabilities.
After the Party Central Committee put forward the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, while continuing to implement the "863" plan, in 1997 it organized the implementation of the "National Key Basic Research and Development Plan" ("973" plan) to strengthen the basic research work oriented by the national strategic goals. The PARTY Central Committee also keenly realized that informatization is a scientific and technological innovation with profound changing significance, and stressed the need to actively promote the combination of industrialization and informatization, use informatization to promote industrialization, and achieve leapfrog development. During this period, the mainland made tremendous achievements in the development of science and technology. In November 1999, the successful launch of the first unmanned experimental spacecraft "Shenzhou-1" marked a major breakthrough in the mainland's manned space flight technology. The advent of the "Shenwei" computer in 1999 broke the blockade of the mainland by Western countries in high-performance computer technology.
On the occasion of the 50 th anniversary of the founding of New China, the CPC Central Committee, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission made a decision to solemnly commend 23 scientific and technological experts who made outstanding contributions to the development of the "two bombs and one satellite." The Party Central Committee and the State Council decided to establish the highest national science and technology award from 2000 onwards, and held the National Science and Technology Awards Conference on February 19, 2001. The famous mathematician Wu Wenjun and the "father of hybrid rice" Yuan Longping won the 2000 national supreme science and technology award, which caused strong repercussions in society.
