The theoretical basis of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education comes from Deng Xiaoping's thought that science and technology are the primary productive forces. 1977, Deng Xiaoping put forward: "The key to our modernization is that science and technology can go up." "We can't achieve modernization by empty talk, but we must have knowledge and talents."

1988 further points out that "science and technology are the primary productive forces", and clearly regards the development of science education as the forerunner of developing economy and building a modern and powerful country, and puts it at the top of China's development strategy.

1On May 6, 1995, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council promulgated the Decision on Accelerating Scientific and Technological Progress, and put forward the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education for the first time.
