At 3:00 p.m. on October 9, 1957, Chairman Mao delivered a speech at the last meeting of the Third Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, pointing out: "politics and business are unity of opposites, politics is the main and the first, and we must oppose the tendency of not asking about politics; however, we can't either specialize in politics, do not understand technology, or do not understand business. Our comrades, whether they are engaged in industry, agriculture, commerce, culture and education, must learn a little bit of technology and business. I think we should also make a ten-year plan. Our cadres in all walks of life should strive to be proficient in technology and business, so as to become experts, both red and expert. " (the seventh volume of Mao Zedong's collected works on Agriculture)
