As early as March 12, 2015, at the plenary meeting of the PLA delegation at the third session of the twelfth National People’s Congress, General Secretary Xi made it clear for the first time to raise the development of civil-military integration as a national strategy. On January 22, 2017, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee decided to establish the Central Civil-Military Integration Development Committee chaired by General Secretary Xi personally. The goal is to provide adequate resources and sustainable driving force for the modernization of national defense and military through full implementation of the civil-military integration in economic and technological fields which connects the modernization of national defense and military with the social and economic development in a wider scope, more advanced areas, and much deeper level.

“The Third China Dual-use Technological Innovation Application Contest” with the theme of “Civil-military integration and innovation” was co-hosted by seven departments including the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the Equipment Development Department of Central Military Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Finance. In order to promote the wide range applications of dual-use technologies and products, this contest offers a display and exchange platform to the credible and socially reputable domestic enterprises and teams who are engaged in the business of R&D, manufacturing, and service of dual-use technologies and products to showcase the military applications of their products or services. The winning of the award by LandVac among numerous hi-tech advanced dual-use items that participated in this contest indicates that LandVac vacuum glass has been recognized by the Chinese military. As the result, it will have the opportunity to step into the field of national defense applications and contribute to the development of national security!
