  • Theory Attached to Practice Chinese Debates Over Basic Research from Thought Remolding to the Bomb, 1949–1966
    David Kaldewey and Désirée Schauz (eds.), Basic and Applied Research: The Language of Science Policy in the Twentieth Century (New York: Berghahn Books, 2018), 228-247. C hapter 8 Theory Attached to Practice Chinese Debates over Basic Research from Thought Remolding to the Bomb, 1949–1966 Zuoyue Wang ላሌ In 1963, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which had come under re- peated political attacks in the past for pursuing impractical “theory in detach- ment from practice,” sought to take advantage of an interlude of ideological liberalization by codifying the optimum proportions of its various programs. The Academy formulated a set of “work regulations” governing four types of research, which it would engage in during the coming decade: “15–20 percent basic research, 35–45 percent applied basic research, 30–40 percent applied research, and 5–10 percent extension research.”1 Both the contents of the above policy pronouncement and the fact that it was made at all refl ected the central position of the debate over basic and applied research—in its various semantic guises—in the politics of science and technology policy of the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) under Communist leader Mao Zedong both before and after 1963.The objective of this chapter is to use the basic/applied debate to explore the interactions of historical forces at work in shaping Chinese science and technology policy during the Mao era, which started with the founding of the P.R.C. in 1949 and ended with his death and the termination of the Cultural Revolution in 1976.

This means that China is one of the five states that are allowed to keep a nuclear weapons arsenal under the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) from 1968. China has always maintained that it follows a policy of minimal credible deterrence, and will adhere to a strict none first use policy under all circumstances. Chine has avoided building up a very large arsenal, but has instead relied on a policy of quantitative and geographic ambiguity, keeping all information about the number of weapons and their location strictly secret. Over the years, China’s nuclear programme has gone through a substantial development, in spite of economic restrictions, especially in the early years, and relatively few, 47 recorded, test explosions. Although the total number of weapons probably is kept low, most analysts estimate around 240 warheads. China has several nuclear capable missile types, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine launched missiles and possible cruise missiles, and is currently believed to be in the process of developing a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRV) technology.

    Beitriige zur Geschichte der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft - I Franz Steiner Verlag Sonderdrucl< aus: Physics and Politics Research and Research Support in TWentieth Century Germany in International Perspective Edited by Helmuth Trischler and Mark Walker j @ Franz Steiner vertag 2o1o t :'i PHYSICS IN CHINA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE coLD \rAR. 1949-1976 Zuo-yue Wang In April 1952, just days after he was appointed the associate director of the In- stitute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, the Chinese nuclear physicist Wang Ganchang was called into the headquarters of the academy. A secret mission awaited him at the battle front of the Korean \Var: The Chinese forces suspected the US had used "atomic sheils" and wanted W'ang to investigate the matter. \fang, a physicist who had gone to Berlin University to study with Hans Geiger but ended up receiving his Ph. D. with Lise Meitner at the Kaiser \Tilhelm Institute in 1933, was well-qualified for the job. With a primi- tive but effective Geiger counter, W'ang checked fragments of the suspect shells and found that there was no increase in radioactivity. He concluded that they were not mini atomic bombs, but perhaps a new type of conventional weapon.l A relatively minor incident in the Korean W'ar, it nevertheless marked a milestone toward the be ginning of an era when the Cold War and nuclear weapons increas- ingly and decisively shaped the context within which physics was practiced in the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong. A decade later, \fang emerged as a major architect of the Chinese nuclear weapons project and his whole institute and most of the leading Chinese physicists devoted themselves to it.
