Concludes that "Peking does not really know the size of China's population 

 or the precise rate at which it is growing . . . There are no accurate statistics 

 in demographic estimates on Chinese population."

 Review of China's policies for science and technology before and after the 

 cultural revolution. ". , . China continues to 'walk on two legs' in science 

 and technology, just as she has been doing in many other fields. Although 

 she is placing great emphasis on local industries and what may be termed 

 local science and technology, China continues to expand her urban economy 

 and to compete with the advanced countries in the modern industrial sector 

 and in advanced science and technology."

brought together 30 specialists in Chinese affairs and foreign policj'. It 



summarizes and focuses on recent political developments, areas of potential 



conflict in foreign policy goals, and key issues facing the People's Republic 



of China and the United States."

"This article attempts to summarize the general condition of science and 

 technology in the People's Republic of China during the past twenty years. 

 From this, we may be able to forecast the future trend, and ... be able 

 to gain some understanding of the interplay of technology and ideology."

"A major aspect of science policy in China after 1949 has been its continual 

 change. More precisely, China has not pursued a single science policy since 

 the People's Republic was founded. Rather, its policies have varied so 

 over time that it makes sense to speak of six science policies: 1949-1952, 

 1953-1957, 1958-1960, 1961-1966, 1966-1969, and 1970 to the present. 

 Each is incisively summarized in this major evaluation of science policy in 

 the People's Republic of China. 



". . . The key to Suttmeier's analysis is his recognition that any set 

 of science policies maximizes some goals but not others. Given China's 

 traditional cultural, social, ajnd economic inhibitions to scientific advance on 

 the one hand and her low technological level on the other, any long-run 

 science policy must attack the environmental constraints while enhancing 

 the nation's storehouse of knowledge. . . . [These] tasks are not compatible 

 over the short run. Hence a successful science policy in China — and perhaps. 

 in other underdeveloped countries as well — must be flexible and 

 evolutionary." (2)
