Abstract: Abstract When Premier Zhao (1982) included the objective of importing advanced technology in his Open-Door programme he was emphasising the reversal of the policy of self-reliance pursued by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) since the departure of the Soviet advisors with their plans and designs for half-finished projects in 1960. The withdrawal of the Russians concluded a century of foreign influence in China during which the steam engine, railways, electricity, telecommunications, and other products of scientific progress had spread over much of China. For nearly twenty years after 1960 Mao Zedong insisted on ‘arbitrary and indiscriminate repudiation of everything foreign’, which meant ‘sealing itself off from the outside world’, as a Chinese source put it (China Today, 1983). Then with Deng’s emphasis on modernisation came the Open-Door Policy and a commitment to ‘import advanced technology appropriately’, as the 7th Five-Year-Plan (1985–90) says.
