Excerpts Chinese Affairs
They learned by heart the lesson of pragmatism Den Xiaoping, who in a speech to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, the July 8, 1983 said:
"We should make use of intellectual resources of other countries, inviting foreigners to participate in the development of our projects in different fields. We have not recognized how important this is, and then we did everything we could do. In terms of modernization we have no experience nor knowledge. We should not be afraid to spend to hire foreigners. No matter how little time to remain for a long time, or only for a project. Once they're here, we must take advantage of their knowledge. We should open our country to the outside world, and ask for help from European countries to speed up our processing technology. We should do the same with Eastern European countries, because their technologies are some of our advanced piuà. China can provide them with a large market, and these countries are very eager to develop cooperation with us. We must seize this opportunity, is a matter of strategic importance.
foresight and pragmatism at its best, remarkable for a person of nearly eighty years!
