Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, has signed an order releasing new regulations aimed at accelerating innovation in military scientific research. The regulations, set to take effect on July 1, are part of a broader strategy to strengthen the armed forces through science and technology.
The new guidelines establish a structured award system aligned with national and military strategic goals. By prioritizing combat effectiveness as the sole benchmark, the regulations aim to enhance the quality and impact of military research projects. They also refine the nomination and review procedures for awards, ensuring a fair and transparent process.
In addition, the regulations place a strong emphasis on discipline and confidentiality. Strengthening oversight in these areas is expected to protect sensitive information and uphold the integrity of military research efforts.
These changes are anticipated to invigorate innovation within military research circles, leading to rapid advancements in defense technology. By providing high-quality scientific support, the regulations contribute to the goal of building a strong military in the new era.
