Some people’s ideas can be decades ahead of the times.
Informatization is the core of the new military reform. The war form of human society is changing from mechanized war to information war. Informatization weapons and equipment will become the key factor of the military’s operational capability, non-contact and non-linear operations will become an important mode of operations, system confrontation will become the basic feature of battlefield confrontation, and space will become the new strategic commanding height of international military competition.
When we read this paragraph, we may think it is a summary of the Russian Ukrainian conflict by a military expert in 2022.
In fact, this is the earnest speech made by an elder with black glasses at an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission in 2002. He pointed out that high-tech information warfare will become the main form of warfare in the 21st century.
For this reason, the second year after he took over the military power, he established the General Armament Department to promote the transformation of our army from mechanization and semi mechanization to informatization according to the requirements of the future war, break away from the old Soviet system and build a powerful information army.
Microelectronics industry is not only the foundation of electronic industry, but also the foundation of the entire national economy. Core technology cannot be bought, and the introduction of new production capacity cannot keep up with the world’s advanced level. China should have its own complete and controllable technology system, and give full play to the advantage of concentrating on major events. Developed countries will always block our neck in terms of core technologies.
When we read this paragraph, we may think that it is a summary of the Sino US science and technology war by a technology blogger in 2019.
In fact, this is the speech made by the black framed glasses elder in 2006 when he convened the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He successfully predicted that by 2020, the international mainstream microelectronics technology will develop to the level of 14 nanometers, and we will be stuck.
To this end, in his first year in Beijing, he promoted the 908 project, invested 2 billion yuan, built a six inch wafer factory and set up an integrated circuit product design center. He broke away from the backward Soviet style tube route and moved towards crystallization, opening up a way forward for China’s semiconductor industry.
The implementation of electronic finance and the control of cash flow will help prevent and reduce corruption. Financial management should not be separated and blocked from each other, but should be managed in a modern matrix way. Financial computerization is a revolutionary change in China’s financial management. The greatest resistance is not a technical obstacle, but a lack of ideological understanding and unity.
After reading this paragraph, we may think that this is a discussion about financial technology by some Internet giant in 2020.
In fact, this was the earnest speech made by the black framed spectator during his inspection of the People’s Bank of China in 1993. He denounced such illegal phenomena as tax evasion, smuggling, money laundering, corruption, etc. by using traditional finance, which disturbed the economic and financial order of the country.
To this end, he started the process of financial computerization in China this year with the help of the Internet and the gold card project, promoted the establishment of enterprise and personal credit reporting systems, made non cash payment instruments and emerging payment instruments flourish, deterred corruption with science and technology, and prevented Soviet oligarchs from taking advantage of the opacity of traditional finance and gobbling up state-owned assets.
Standing at the crossroads of the world, most of our generation have been lost, wandering, and wondering where the road is.
But we are also lucky. In that ignorant adolescence, led by a pair of eyes through the times, we chose the right direction and found the light through layers of fog.
