Part II : Survey to Development of Science and Technology in Guangxi
Since reform of the present system and opening to the outside
world, the scientific and technological cause of Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region has been significantly developed. The
autonomous region now has about 700,000 of professional
personnels and specialists in various fields. Among these, 17,000
of them are high-level professionals such as chief and associate
professor, chief and associate research fellow, senior engineer,
senior agronomist; 148,000 of them medium- level professionals,
such as engineer and agronomist. And there are 560 or more
various scientific research institudes. During 1974-1991, there
are 4,400 items of scientific and technological achievements have
been gone through appraisement, among which, 3, 067 items have
won state or provincial awards; and 1,271 items of invention and
creation have been granted patentright. A numerous achievements
of these have been popularized for application the condictions
for scientific research have also been greatly improved.
In recent years, to be focused on emphasis on the economic growth
in Guangxi, a series of scientific and technological program,
such as "Sparkle Program","Torch Program",
"Blue Project", "Program to Replace Industry
Products with New Genevation" and "Project of
Popularization of key Achievements" heve been organized for
implementation, which have made significant returns both on
economics and society. Among the minority autonomous districts,
some industrial exploitation zones for new and sophisticated
technologies have been set up, such as Guilin industrial
exploitation zone for new and sophisticated technologies,based on
exploitation and development for electronic and new material
technologies, is rated as statelevel exploitation and development
zone, the Nanning industrial exploitation zone for new and
sophisticated technologies based on exploitation and development
of biological technologies is rated as province- level
exploitation and development zone; cities, like Liuzhou, Beihai
and Wuzhou, are progressively preparing this kind of zones.
Since 13 years of reform and door opening, Guangxi have
established international relationship on scientific and
technological coperation and communication with more than 30
countries and regions, and with more than 10 countries for inter-
government scientific and technologic cooperations. About more
than 2, 000 foreign experts have been invit to Guangxi for
lecturing and scientific and technological exchanges and
communications; more than 1,000 of our specialistic personnels
have been abroad for scientific and technological investigations
and observations or attending international acadamic conferences;
meanwhile a lot of foreign technologies and equipments have been
introduced into Guangxi, in turn, a number of technologies have
been exported and transferred to foreign countries.
At present, Guangxi is implementing the strategy of activating
Guangxi to flourish by science and technology and the scientific
and technological program of the 8th 5 -year plan. The central
task is to push scientific and technological achievements towards
merchandization,industrilization and internationalization, to
speed up the construction of the passage leading to the sea for
the great southwest China, to carry out scientific and
technological programs on various fields on a constant basis, and
to cultivate the technological market in major effort. Striking
from these, the exploitation and development of industries of
sophisticated and new technologies, the construction of its
exploitation and development zone and the comprehensive
exploitation and development on coastal areas of the Beibu Gulf
of Guangxi shall be given prominance . It is expecting that a
scientifically and technically thriving, and economically
developed new Guangxi will be risen in the Chinese southern
territory.
