This day, 5 September, in 1988, when Deng Xiaoping met with Czechoslovak President, Gustav Husak, he made the important assertion that “science and technology are the primary productive forces” for the first time. Deng pointed out, “The world is changing, and our thoughts and actions must also change with it. In the past, we closed ourselves off and isolated ourselves. What good did this do to socialism?…”
这一天，即1988年9月5日，当邓小平会见捷克斯洛伐克总统古斯塔夫·胡萨克时，他首次做出了重要的断言：“科学和技术是主要生产力”。 邓指出：“世界正在發生變化，我们的思想和行动也必隨之改變。 过去，我们把自己封闭，孤立自己。 这对社会主义有什么好处？……”
