appl led In production In 1981, and have already been turned Into concrete products. Many production enterprises have begun to fee I the power of techno log lea I lnnovat I on .. and Its econom lc benefits and leading to close connection with research Institutes through contracts, exchange of experts and providing e~pendlture for product related research. For example, China was famous for Its textile products. Yet, because of low quality and backward processing techniques, they were not competitive In the Interna­ tional markets. Through the application of organic slllcon,whlch makes textile products extremely ripple-free and easy to wash, these products have opened a new door for export. We have also started technology trade fairs, consulting agencies, trafn.lng centers, etc. (5) With the expansion of autonomou~ decision power of the enterprises and the establishment of a sound and Independent cost-benefit accounting system. enterprises are forced Into re­ search and development of new products. to Improve producT quali­ ty and Increase variety so as to find necessary markets and customers. Old enterprises, or those with deficits and still using backward technologies, would run Into troubles without making their own research and development. lndlvlduels In the enterprises would also feel the pressure to Initiate new Idees, new proposals and work with greater efforts. since e system of floating wages have been adopted In many enterprises. 33 {6) .The most encouraging phenomenon has emerged In the vast rural areas. where a large number of farmers, having tasted the fruits of applying agricultural technologies, launched a movement of scientific farming. Many small research or experimental sta­ tions, both at country and cooperative levels,· have been establi­ shed. And a large number of agricultural technology extension centers are In operation to offer services and consultancles. In some places. farmers started their own demonstration centers.
