The implied meaning of the table above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with, the Opening-up and Reform has brought about fruitl achiments. It is well-known that the Opening-up and Reform has greatly improved the growth of our national economy, which has laid a solid foundation for the dlopment of science and technology including aeronautics and astronautics.
