What was China's economic strength and scientific and technological level at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China?

1. In the early days of the founding of New China, China's economic situation was very backward, and everything had to depend on itself.

2. The production party and people's government of China * * * regard the recovery and development of production as the center of all their work, correctly handle the relationship between politics and economy, resolutely implement the policy of the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Party, and firmly regard the recovery and development of production and the fundamental improvement of the national financial and economic situation as the center of all the work of the Party during the period of national economic recovery.

3. Starting from the national conditions of China, especially the specific situation in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's * * * production party formulated correct principles and policies such as "Don't attack from all sides". Correctly handle the relationship between classes, adhere to the leadership of the proletariat and consolidate the alliance of workers and peasants, pay attention to uniting the urban petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie, and implement the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation, so as to mobilize and unite all positive political factors to serve the recovery of the national economy.

During this period, the Party paid great attention to carrying forward the fine tradition of seeking truth from facts, proceeding from reality and integrating theory with practice, so as to better reflect and conform to the reality of China. To win the support of the people, the main measures are to confiscate bureaucratic capital and establish a 4 102 state-owned economy, which has not only completed the task of 1653 democratic revolution, but also has the nature of socialist revolution. The people's government also regained control of imperialism. Through the "Silver Dollar War" and "Rice Cotton War", the national prices were stabilized.

At that time, it was necessary for the central government to manage the national finance and economy and form a highly centralized economic management system. Through land reform, reasonable adjustment of industry and commerce and measures to streamline administration, the national finance and economy have been fundamentally improved.

The people's government leads the people to vigorously restore and develop production, guides farmers to cooperate with each other, builds water conservancy projects and develops production; Cities and industrial and mining enterprises have carried out democratic reforms and production reforms, which have played an important role in restoring and developing production and completed the tasks left over by the democratic revolution.

1956 after the completion of the three major transformations in the first half of the year, the party central Committee proposed that the main task of the whole party and the people in the future is to concentrate on developing productive forces and turn China from a backward agricultural country into an advanced industrial country as soon as possible. Later, we gradually put forward four grand goals of modernization. From 1957 to 1966, the party led the people of China to carry out socialist modernization according to this strategic goal. There were many mistakes in this period, and some even caused serious consequences, but on the whole, the development of production did not relax, especially the five-year national economic adjustment from 196 1 to 1965, which made the productive forces develop greatly and the socialist construction showed a prosperous scene. Through the efforts of the people of the whole country, it took only three years to complete the task of restoring the national economy. By the end of 1952, the ratio of total industrial and agricultural output value to 1949 had increased by 77.5%. Among them, the total industrial output value increased by 145%, the total agricultural output value increased by 48.5%, and the output of main products greatly exceeded the highest annual output before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

During the period of national economic recovery, people's lives have been improved, the average wage of workers in the country has increased by about 70%, and the income of farmers everywhere has generally increased by more than 30%. The country's financial and economic situation has been fundamentally improved, which has prepared conditions for planned socialist construction and transformation. Due to the eight-year Japanese invasion of China and the three-and-a-half-year national civil war, China suffered huge economic losses. 1949 after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), after three years of efforts, the national economy has been fully restored and initially developed. 1952, the total industrial and agricultural output value reached 8 1 100 million yuan, an increase of 77.5% over 1949, and an increase of 20% over the highest level in history.

The output of major industrial and agricultural products has exceeded the highest level before the founding of the People's Republic of China. With the recovery and development of production, the state's fiscal revenue and expenditure are balanced, the cultural, educational and health undertakings are developed accordingly, the income of workers and peasants is increased, and their lives are improved.
