Question

which best describes how dengs move to work with international experts on matters of science and technology was a major departure from previous government policy in china?
○ china had had a policy of self - reliance.
○ china had refused to embrace modern technology.
○ china had established local teams of experts.
○ china had been closed to most foreigners.

Explanation:

Prior to Deng's reforms, China's official policy emphasized self-reliance in science and technology, prioritizing domestic development over collaboration with international experts. This made partnering with foreign experts a major shift. The other options are incorrect: China did not refuse modern technology entirely, local expert teams existed, and while closed to some foreigners, the core policy shift was away from strict self-reliance.

Answer:

China had had a policy of self-reliance.
