The "Resolution" pointed out that "after the implementation of several five-year plans, the mainland has established an independent and relatively complete industrial system and a national economic system. ”
First, realizing the industrialization of the country is the only way for the party to lead the people of all nationalities throughout the country to achieve national independence and prosperity and strength, so that the Chinese nation can stand on its own among the nations of the world. Comrade Mao Zedong said long ago: "Without industry, there will be no consolidated national defense, no welfare of the people, and no prosperity and strength of the country." "But until 1952, the starting point of industrialization on the mainland was still very low. The proportion of modern industrial output value in the total output value of industry and agriculture is only 43.1%, and heavy industry accounts for only 35.5% of the total industrial output value. Therefore, concentrating efforts on giving priority to the development of heavy industry, transforming the mainland from a backward agricultural country into an advanced industrial country, and establishing an independent and complete industrial system and a national economic system have become the goals of the party and the people.
Second, it has initially changed the industrial situation of backward technology and deformed development left over from history, and established a production system with relatively complete categories and a reasonable layout. The original industrial sector was further developed, and the annual output and production capacity of the main products were greatly increased. From 1952 to 1980, the output of cotton yarn increased from 656,000 tons to 2,926,000 tons, raw coal from 66 million tons to 620 million tons, and power generation from 7.3 billion to 300.6 billion kWh. Since the "First Five-Year Plan" period, the state has made large-scale investments centered on 156 key projects and 694 large and medium-sized construction projects, and has gradually built a number of basic industrial projects with relatively complete categories, involving metallurgy, automobiles, machinery, coal, petroleum, electric power, communications, chemistry, national defense and other fields, laying a solid foundation for the further development of the national economy. During this period, a number of important enterprises, such as ten major steel plants, nonferrous metal smelters, dozens of coal enterprises, and power plants, such as Wuhan Iron and Steel and Baosteel, were newly built and expanded; emerging industrial sectors such as electronics, petrochemicals, atomic energy, and aerospace were gradually developed from scratch or from small to large; in the machinery industry, more than a dozen basic industries such as metallurgy, mining, power stations, petrochemicals, and other industrial equipment manufacturing, as well as aircraft, automobiles, and engineering machinery manufacturing, were formed, and some modern large-scale equipment could be independently designed and manufactured. The state's three-line construction, which began in 1964, not only enhanced its national defense strength, but also improved its industrial layout, initially established an industrial production system with relatively complete categories on the mainland in a short period of time, and formed a number of new industrial bases and huge production capacity; the development of the petroleum industry has made outstanding achievements, and in 1963 it achieved basic self-sufficiency in petroleum products, and in 1973 began to export crude oil to foreign countries.
Third, the transportation and post and telecommunications undertakings have made great progress. From 1949 to 1980, 29,900 kilometers of new railways were added across the country, initially forming the skeleton of the national road network. In 1980, the length of highways in the country reached more than 880,000 kilometers, an increase of 10 times over 1949. The water transport industry has developed greatly, and the navigable mileage of inland rivers has increased from 73,600 kilometers in 1949 to more than 108,000 kilometers in 1980. Civil aviation began to develop, from August 1950 when the first route from Tianjin to Chongqing via Wuhan was opened, and by the early 1980s, the number of mainland routes had grown to 180. In 1980, the National Post and Telecommunications Bureau and institute developed to more than 49,000, which was 1.9 times that of 1949.
Fourth, the conditions of agricultural production have changed significantly, and the level of production has been greatly improved. Since the founding of New China, rural areas in various localities have treated a total of 260 million mu of low-lying and flood-prone land, transformed 200 million mu of saline-alkali land and hillside land, and built more than 86,000 large and medium-sized reservoirs; the state has renovated and built more than 160,000 kilometers of embankments totaling more than 160,000 kilometers on both sides of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Hai River, the Pearl River, the Liao River, and other rivers. The improvement of various agricultural production conditions has effectively guaranteed the growth of agricultural production.
