Promoting civil–military integrated development requires systematic science, thought and methodology, said president Xi Jinping 习近平 at the Central Civil–Military Integrated Development Commission's second plenary session.
The national defence sci-tech industry must be led by civil–military integrated development strategy, says a report on the meeting. The commission called for
- breaking down barriers, reducing thresholds and creating a fair policy environment
- structural adjustment of military scientific research capabilities
- civil–military resource sharing, including technology, capital, information, talent and equipment
- using cloud computing, big data, and the internet of things in military logistics, which in turn can contribute to storage, healthcare and emergency services
