Summary

Machine summary

A political commentary published in PLA media, framed around the 91st anniversary of the Zunyi Conference, argues that the principle of 独立自主 (independence and self-reliance) established during the Long March is the foundational logic behind contemporary defense-industrial achievements — citing the J-20, Y-20, KJ-500, domestically built carriers, and the Galaxy-I supercomputer as evidence that 卡脖子 (chokepoint) problems must be solved internally. This is standard political-work content keyed to a historical commemoration; its value is as a record of how PLA media frames technological self-reliance to serving personnel, linking Long March mythology directly to present-day acquisition strategy. The framing points to continued institutional pressure to justify indigenous development over foreign procurement, but the article provides no evidence of a new policy directive or capability shift.

把命运的缆绳攥在自己手中 ■刘含钰陈传刚贵州遵义，老城子尹路96号。一座灰砖砌就的二层小楼，静立于黔北的烟雨之中。 91年前的那个寒冬，中国革命最危急的关头，一群共产党人在这里召开会议，作出深刻影响中国革命前途命运的抉择。长征途中，湘江一役，红军将士血染江水，队伍从8万余人锐减至3万多人。生死存亡之际，这些革命者，决定扔掉“洋拐杖”，中国革命的事，要靠中国人自己拿主意。遵义会议开启了党独立自主解决中国革命实际问题新阶段，在最危急关头挽救了党、挽救了红军、挽救了中国革命。毛泽东同志后来深刻总结：“我们认识中国，真正懂得独立自主，是从遵义会议开始的。” “真正懂得”，四个字，字字千钧。回望来时路，独立自主从来不是一句抽象的口号，而是刀锋上试出来的，是血水中淬出来的，是硬骨头里磨出来的。从湘江边上的觉醒，到四渡赤水的决断；从敌后战场的独立抗战，到抗美援朝的以弱胜强；从戈壁深处的隐姓埋名，到“长征一号”的蛟龙入海——这条精神红线，始终贯穿在人民军队的血脉中。历史更换考场，大道始终相通。当改革开放大门打开，面对与美俄的差距，中国航天奋力迈进，硬是走通从无人到载人的自主之路。2003年神舟五号一飞冲天，在世界载人航天史上写下中国人的一笔。进口超级计算机，外方却要建透明玻璃房，钥匙归他们管。这口气咽不下去。科研人员扎进机房，一根线一根线地接、一个点一个点地焊。1983年“银河-I”研制成功，中国人有了自己的亿次巨型机。实力恰如年轮，要一圈一圈地“长”出来。进入新时代，从国产航母入列下水，到歼-20横空出世；从运-20鲲鹏展翅，到空警-500腾空万里……一个个大国重器竞相涌现，强军事业在独立自主的道路上迈出越来越坚实的步伐。事实证明：关键核心技术是要不来、买不来、讨不来的。每攻克一个“卡脖子”难题，我军的筋骨就更硬一分；每完成一次体系性跨越，战略的主动权就多握一分。比装备突破更深的，是道路上的自觉和清醒。面对世界百年未有之大变局，奋力开创强军事业新局面，没有现成答案可抄，也没有现成道路可循，唯有坚持党对人民军队的绝对领导，固本开新、改革创新，坚持走中国特色强军之路，才能在风高浪急的外部环境中始终保持发展的主动权。习主席在纪念中国工农红军长征胜利90周年大会上指出：“90年后的今天，再次回望那段苦难辉煌，我们更加深刻认识到，长征胜利是必然的，其中蕴含着党和人民军队铿锵前进的制胜之道。”遵义小楼里的抉择，穿越时空，依然回荡在今天的每一次技术突破中、每一次深海远航中、每一次长空亮剑中。道路决定命运。从遵义到北京，从长征路到强军路，这个党、这支军队、这个国家，将继续用行动证明：中国的事情必须由中国人民自己作主张，中国发展进步的命运必须牢牢掌握在自己手中。这是历史的铁律，也是未来的路标。
