China's Technological Nationalism
zhōng guó中国de的kē jì科技fā zhǎn发展yuè lái yuè越来越kuài快 ，xiàn zài现在kě yǐ可以hé和shì jiè世界shàng上de的qí tā其他guó jiā国家jìng zhēng竞争 。
China's technological development is getting faster and can now compete with other countries in the world.
hěn很duō多zhōng guó中国rén人jué de觉得 ，kē jì科技jìn bù进步duì对guó jiā国家hěn很zhòng yào重要 ，bù不zhǐ shì只是zhèng fǔ政府shuō说de的xuān chuán宣传 。
Many Chinese people feel that technological progress is very important for the country, not just government propaganda.
yǐ qián以前 ，zhōng guó中国yīn wèi因为kē jì科技luò hòu落后 ，jīng jì经济yě也bù不qiáng强 。
In the past, China was economically weak because of backward technology.
xiàn zài现在 ，hěn很duō多gōng chéng shī工程师 、lǜ shī律师hé和kuài jì shī会计师dōu都zài在gōng chǎng工厂huò或gōng sī公司gōng zuò工作 ，tā men他们kàn dào看到zhōng guó中国de的gōng chǎng工厂zuò做le了hěn很duō多chǎn pǐn产品 ，dàn但yǒu xiē有些gāo kē jì高科技hái shì还是wài guó外国de的 。
Now, many engineers, lawyers, and accountants work in factories or companies. They see that Chinese factories produce many products, but some high-tech items are still foreign.
hěn很duō多rén人míng bái明白 ，zhǐ yǒu只有zì jǐ自己zhǎng wò掌握jì shù技术 ，cái néng才能zhuàn赚gèng更duō多qián钱 。
Many people understand that only by mastering technology themselves can they earn more money.
guò qù过去 ，zhōng guó中国gōng chǎng工厂kào靠hěn很duō多gōng rén工人zuò做jiǎn dān简单de的gōng zuò工作 ，zhuàn赚de的shì是 “xuè hàn qián血汗钱 ” 。
In the past, Chinese factories relied on many workers doing simple jobs, earning 'sweatshop wages'.
dàn shì但是 ，suí zhe随着kē jì科技jìn bù进步 ，zhōng guó中国zhōng chǎn jiē jí中产阶级de的shēng huó生活biàn dé变得gèng更hǎo好le了 。
However, with technological progress, the life of China's middle class has improved.
xiàn zài现在 ，hěn很duō多jiā tíng家庭yòng用shàng上le了shǒu jī手机hé和diàn nǎo电脑 ，shēng huó生活hé和xī fāng西方guó jiā国家de的rén人chà bù duō差不多 。
Now, many families use mobile phones and computers, and their lives are similar to those in Western countries.
dà jiā大家wèi为zhōng guó中国de的kē jì科技jìn bù进步gǎn dào感到zì háo自豪 ，yě也xī wàng希望zhōng guó中国néng能yǒu有gèng更duō多zì jǐ自己de的gāo kē jì高科技 。
Everyone feels proud of China's technological progress and hopes China can have more of its own high-tech products.
