Abstract

The Party Central Committee has stated that in developing agriculture we must rely on both policy and science. To rely on policy does not mean to rely solely on the responsibility system. We should adopt any measures that can stimulate the positive socialist nature of the working people and advance the development of rural productive forces. These measures should all be incorporated into the policy of the Party and government and should help to bring it to fruition.
