Ten scientific and technological achievements of China since the founding of the country

Science and technology and cultural construction: Over the past 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, science and technology as the first productive force has become the driving force behind the construction of an advanced culture.

China's aerospace industry, "two bombs and one star" has made great progress, China's first atomic bomb exploded successfully on October 16, 1964, China's first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully in 1967, which is the famous "two bombs". 1970 China's first artificial Earth satellite "Dongfang Hongyi", the first artificial Earth satellite "Dongfang Hongyi". China's first artificial Earth satellite "Dongfanghong No. 1" into space orbit, announcing China's entry into the aviation era. The two bombs and one star were recorded in history. After more than 10 years of efforts, according to the needs of spaceflight, China has successfully developed four series of rockets, namely Long March I, Long March II, Long March III and Long March IV. "China successfully developed four series of rockets, and later developed nine types of rockets. 1999, "Shenzhou" manned space test spacecraft was successfully launched, and in 2003, "Shenzhou" No. 5 rode on Yang Liwei, which created a new era of China's aerospace industry. In 2005, Shenzhou VI sent two astronauts, Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, into space, and in 2008, three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, successfully completed their space mission on board Shenzhou VII, taking the first step in Chinese spacewalking. China became the third country in the world, after the Soviet Union and the United States, to send human beings into space. "Chang'e-1" is another feat in the space industry, and the successful launch of China's first lunar probe satellite "Chang'e-1" in 2007 has become a new milestone in China's space industry.

China's entry into the Internet era is a major social change, in 1986, Chinese scientists launched the China Academic Network, in 1994, China's realization of a full-featured connection with the international network, becoming a member of the international Internet family, Chinese society into the era of informatization, the establishment of China's Ministry of Information Industry in 1998, the total number of Chinese netizens in 2005 exceeded the one hundred million mark, ranking second in the world. Everyone can go online to send e-mail, video communication, access to information, online trading? can have blogs and personal web pages, China's Internet and social informatization has made world-renowned achievements.

The achievements in education, health and culture are enormous, and the country has implemented the strategy of developing the country through science and education. The country has popularized nine-year compulsory education, vigorously developed high school education, and basically formed a vocational education system with a complete structure and specialties. Higher education, the State launched the "211 Project", educational reforms in a comprehensive manner, the establishment of a set of awards, loans, grants, supplements, "remission" of the financial assistance to help students in need of policy system. In recent years, China's institutions of higher learning more than 20 million undergraduates and graduates of colleges and universities, 170 times more than in 1949. 2008 graduates of colleges and universities amounted to 5.5 million people, more than 1.1 million postgraduates, for the modern construction of the delivery of specialized personnel.

After the founding of New China, the Party and the government have prioritized people's health and life safety. The average life expectancy of the nation has increased from 35 years before liberation to 72 years, the health level of the 1.3 billion people is close to that of developed countries, the basic medical insurance system for urban workers has been set up and a new rural cooperative medical system launched, a large number of hygienic towns and villages have sprung up across the country, and medical and healthcare facilities are constantly being improved. China has basically solved the health problems of the world's most populous country. The annual report of the World Health Organization notes that the health of the Chinese people is generally at the forefront of developing countries. At the same time, China has formed a modernized radio and television network covering the largest population in the world, with a comprehensive population coverage rate of 94 percent, covering more than 1.2 billion people.

Sports are flourishing, moving into the ranks of sports powerhouses. National implementation of the "Comprehensive Fitness Program Outline" and "Olympic Games Program Outline", in 2001, China's bid to host the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was successful. Realize the 100-year Olympic Games and fulfill the dream of 100 years. Let the world feel the improvement of China's national soft power, in 2008 China and the successful hosting of the Olympic Games, so that the world applauded for China, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Chinese athletes won 51 gold, 21 silver, 28 bronze, listed in the first place on the gold medal list, the year Chinese athletes*** won 120 world championships, there are 11 people, 2 teams, 16 times 16 world records.
