Brief introduction of industrial planning content

This book consists of preface, preface, six strategies and conclusion. The preface tells the author's motivation and process of writing this book. The first chapter summarizes the main contents and basic ideas of the book. The first to third plans advocate the construction of three deep-water ports along the coast of China, namely, the northern port between Qinghe River and Luanhekou in Bohai Bay, the eastern port between Zhapu and Zhapu in Hangzhou Bay in the East China Sea, and the southern port outside the Pearl River estuary in the South China Sea. Focusing on the three ports, waterway regulation, railway construction, highway construction, resource development, resettlement and industrial and agricultural production will be carried out in North China, East China and South China. The fourth scheme is the railway scheme, which advocates the construction of 10 Wan Li Railway according to the five railway systems of central, southeast, northwest, northeast and plateau, so as to form a railway network all over the country. The fifth plan is to develop the production of basic living materials such as food, clothing, housing, transportation and printing. The sixth plan is to open up coal, iron, oil and other mineral deposits, and to establish mining and metallurgy equipment factories, that is, plans for raw materials and energy industries. The conclusion summarizes the role of realizing the industrial plan in changing China's backward appearance and promoting world civilization, and calls on "international capitalists to help the * * * with economic benefits".

The purpose of China's industrial construction

Sun Yat-sen inherited his former bourgeois thinker's thought of revitalizing industry for China's independence and prosperity, and regarded industrial construction as "the key to rejuvenating the country" and "the urgent task of saving the country"; At the same time, he is very concerned about improving people's lives, stressing that China's economic construction should focus on "helping the poor" and make "people's livelihood smooth" by developing industry.

The focus of China's industrial construction and economic development

The author thinks that "building railways and roads, renovating canals and waterways, and building commercial ports and streets" are "sharp weapons of industry", while agriculture and mining are "mothers of other undertakings". At the same time, it is believed that food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the basic needs of people's lives. Therefore, industrial construction should focus on these industries and lead the whole economic construction to "live within our means".

The author advocates that industrial construction should be carried out by both the state and the private sector at the same time, but the business scope of both sides should be divided: "Any ordinary business can be entrusted to individuals, or if it is more suitable than state management, it will be done by individuals, paid by the state and protected by law. ..... before it can appoint individuals and is exclusive, it should be managed by the state. " The author calls his thought of state-owned large-scale industry "socialism". In fact, this is not socialism, but state capitalism. The author sees the crowding out and oppression of small and medium-sized capital by monopoly capital in western countries, and thinks that if monopoly state-owned enterprises are implemented, monopoly capital can be prevented and the interests of small and medium-sized capital can be protected. This is essentially a fantasy of the lower class of the national bourgeoisie.

Sources of funds for industrial construction

In view of China's poverty and backwardness and the lack of funds, technology and technical talents needed for large-scale economic construction, the author believes that in order to speed up the construction progress and make China's economic development catch up with developed capitalist countries in a short time, it is necessary to implement "opening up"; "No capital, that is, borrowing foreign capital"; "No talents, use foreign talents"; If the method is not good, use foreign methods. Industrial planning is based on such an "open" construction planning. The author sums up his intention as "making foreign capitalism so as to make socialism in China".

However, the author believes that the use of foreign capital must be based on the premise of not damaging China's sovereignty, and advocates that the conclusion of contracts with foreign capital groups in accordance with the principle of equality and mutual benefit can give foreign capital reasonable economic benefits, but it cannot be allowed to infringe China's sovereignty. The author regards this issue as "the key to China's survival" and thinks that "the right to development will exist if it is exercised by me, and will die if it is exercised by people".

Because the bourgeois-led democratic revolution could not win in China, the grand blueprint of economic construction designed by the industrial plan for China could not be realized at that time. But the book contains a series of thoughts about China's economic development strategy, which is a very precious economic ideological heritage.
