邓小平同志以马克思主义者的伟大气魄,创造性地提出了“科学技术是生产力,而且是第一生产力”的科学论断,从而为全党和全国人民指明了加速生产力发展的根本途径。四项基本原则是立国之本,改革开放是强国之路,而科技进步则是富国之源,由此三位 Comrade Deng Xiaoping creatively put forward the scientific conclusion that “science and technology are productive forces, but also the primary productive forces,” in the spirit of the Marxist greatness, and has thus pointed out to the entire party and the people throughout the country the fundamental way to speed up the development of productive forces. The four basic principles are the foundation of the country, reform and opening up are the road to strengthening the country, and scientific and technological progress is the source of rich countries.
