In order to transform, the People’s Liberation Army into a world-class military, China need to improve the system and layout of science, technology, and industries related to national defence, sources reported.
China’s Defence science and technology institutions form the backbone of China’s military might and are the most important source for its defence technology, despite the fact that their technology R and D system also comprises government research units, universities, and business research departments.
Earlier, on October 16, in the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese leader stressed improving the Defense S and T institutes. While addressing the Congress, xi we will improve the system and layout of science, technology, and industries related to national defense and step-up capacity building in these areas.
After this, on October 25, State Administration for Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense held a cadres’ conference, where its director, Zhang Kejian, reiterated Xi’s comments regarding Chinese defense technology and demanded that his subordinates carry out Xi’s crucial instructions, according to sources.
Defence technology reform is still a top goal for the CCP, and China will continue to advance this to transform the PLA into a world-class military. Despite the fact that these institutions are essential to China, issues have always persisted. For Beijing to increase its capability for defence technology development, these problems must be resolved through a true system reform. China’s defence S and T institutes have experienced inefficiencies and a dearth of incentives for innovation, much like their parent businesses.
