- Abstract
In the post-Cold War era, civil-military integration has been an important subject of study across the globe. As years went by and its economic development took a turn in a different direction, China followed the example of the West to establish cooperation between the defense industry and the private sector. All those policies were based on lessons learned from other countries’ defense industry development. How to use capital from the private sector and modern business management skills to boost the development of the defense industry is now a goal for Beijing to achieve. With China’s defense industry as the subject of research, this paper introduces the history of China’s CMI while making an analysis of relevant cases and trying to express how China uses the experience of other countries. References were mainly cited from dissertations and theses in China, and two cases were chosen for analysis, one about the transfer of military technology to the private sector and the other about the private sector’s participation in the defense industry. The analysis was supplemented with the two companies’ financial reports and brief introductions. The discussion was focused on problems that China’s defense and civilian industries may encounter in the process of CMI and possible solutions to the problems. It could help us find out the effects of China’s efforts to copy and learn from other countries’ defense industry development. Maybe “Emulated Innovation” is a better description of China’s type of innovation.
