Abstract: Not only have science and technology received growing priority in China's development strategy, but basic research has also received greater attention in the country's policies on science and technology. From Deng Xiaoping's notion that “science and technology are the primary productive force” to the national strategy of “invigorating China through science and education,” China has experienced a deepening and maturing process in understanding the characteristics and values of modern science—especially basic research—and the roles of science in the country's economic and social development.
