At a national conference honoring model cities and counties in promoting military-civilian support, Chinese President Xi Jinping and chairman of the Central Military Commission called for stronger unity between the armed forces, government agencies and residents across the Chinese mainland.
“We must uphold the overall leadership of the CPC, deepen reform and innovation, and improve policies and mechanisms that foster mutual support between military and civilian sectors,” Xi said, highlighting successes in pilot regions where integration efforts have taken root.
These model cities and counties have launched joint training programs, shared research facilities and streamlined procurement channels. According to conference data, such initiatives boosted local innovation by 25% and cut logistical bottlenecks by 30%.
For tech entrepreneurs and business leaders, blending military expertise with civilian technology offers fresh opportunities in areas like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and green infrastructurefields that thrive on cross-sector collaboration.
As global debates on civil-military partnerships evolve, Xis emphasis on unity and reform could reshape how nations harness collective strengths for security and innovation, offering a window into the Chinese mainlands approach to modern defense and community engagement.
