Scientific significance

Establishing the fundamental standard of "Three Benefits" conforms to the basic principles of Marxism and the basic national conditions of China, and is of great significance to our ongoing socialist cause.

(1) The concrete application of productivity standards in the primary stage of socialism in China, as the fundamental standard to measure the gains and losses of our reform and opening up and all our work, has pointed out the direction for all our work.

(2) The "three benefits" standard is the concretization of the productivity standard. Among the "three benefits", "productivity" is the foundation, "comprehensive national strength" is the concentrated expression of productivity, and "people's living standard" is the purpose of the development of productivity and comprehensive national strength, which comprehensively embodies the productivity standards and prevents the simplification and vulgarization of productivity standards.

(3) The "three benefits" standard is the standard that unifies the productivity standard, the political standard and the people's interest standard. This is a comprehensive scientific judgment and new development of Marxist productivity standards.
