Highway System

The private ownership of motor vehicles in China has increased from less than half a million in 1970 to 9 million in 1994. It is expected to reach 19.6 million in 2000, 80 million in 2010, and 354 million in 2020. China needs a good highway system to meet its economic growth. In 1991, the Ministry of Communications addressed this need by calling on all the provinces to draft a 30-year highway transportation network plan. To build the necessary new highways and expressways, China needs access to modern transportation science and technology. The United States has a good highway system and advanced science and technology, which China would like to transfer and use. A technology transfer center (often called a T2 center) would be the best mechanism to accomplish this. The ways in which technology transfer can occur between the United States and China are discussed. A proposal to establish six T2 centers throughout the People’s Republic of China is described. It is argued that this would be beneficial for both China and the United States, facilitating more technical cooperation between the two countries and increasing the export of U.S. technology and road-building equipment to the growing Chinese markets.

Developing Strategies

In China, the national engineering and technology view has great influences on formulating and executing all kinds of engineering and technology developing strategies, policies and plans. The People’s Republic of China has been founded for more than 50 years. During this period Chinese science and technology, economy and society have gained remarkable changes, yet, there were many frustrations and backslides in the progress of development either. The evolution of engineering and technology view in P. R. China is characterized by “period”. This kind of “period” is correlated tightly with the political and economic conditions home and abroad, reflecting the ideologies of different period, and plays a very important role on the direction, scale and speed of the development of engineering and technology in each period. This paper divided the engineering and technology view into 6 periods from the foundation of P.R. China, analyzed them periodically according to cases and statistical data, and compared them. Finally, this paper carried on a further discussion and prediction on the engineering and technology view of the new century.
