No matter to what degree China opens up to the outside world and admits foreign capital, its relative magnitude will be small and it can't affect our system of socialist public ownership of the means of production.

Young leading cadres have risen up by helicopter. They should really rise step by step.

In China, we intend to acquire advanced technology, science and management skills to serve our socialist production. And these things as such have no class character.
