Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized enhancing unity between the military and civilian sectors to bolster national development and security. In recent instructions delivered at a national conference honoring model cities and counties for civil-military collaboration, Xi urged deeper integration of defense and socioeconomic progress under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
As general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, Xi stressed modernizing policies and mechanisms to advance innovation in military-civilian partnerships. The remarks follow ongoing efforts to align defense strategies with China's economic priorities, reflecting a broader vision of coordinated growth.
Analysts note such initiatives aim to strengthen resource sharing between sectors while reinforcing the CPC's role in guiding cross-sector cooperation. The conference highlighted successful models of military-civilian collaboration in infrastructure, technology, and emergency response systems—key areas for investors and policymakers monitoring Asia's evolving strategic landscape.
