A 1000 Chinese Private Firms Allowed To Develop Weapons

[Zarvan]

Can you make out the difference? Left: The Original (US F-35) & the Clone (Chinese J-31) - An industry in which Chinese cloning has excelled to a disconcerting degree is the manufacture of weapon systems such as depicted here. Will cloning continue even in the private sector?

Thousand private companies have received permission to develop and produce weapons or other military equipment, accounting for about 40 percent of defense equipment contractors in China.

Xu Dazhe, director of the State Administration of Science Technology and Industry for the National Defense, said in July that the government would open more fields in the defense sector to private enterprises and lower the entry threshold for them, Xinhua reported Sunday.

China has been gradually opening the defense market to private enterprises since 2005, when the central government issued a series of instructions encouraging private sectors to plunge into the arms and equipment market.

Currently, any business entity can bid for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) contracts after gaining four government-issued licenses on confidentiality and technological capability.

In Nov 2014, PLA General Staff Headquarters published a total of 108 procurement items titled "advanced training technologies and equipment". Those items were published to encourage private companies to take part in training apparatus' research, development and manufacturing process.

what do you mean will it continue? Chinese are experts in it

-.-

There will come a point where the rest of the world will be content with their weaponry. And perhaps it'll be China that will be the pioneer.

Even a 2 year old can tell the difference. The "original" is fatter, the 'clone' is sleeker.

Better that incompetent who only knows how to buy. They still brag about 15billion purchase from Russia with Modi visit thinking its some glamorous thing. Lol.. In fact, its a shame! But its India, who else.

You guys downgraded the ability of private sector.
Send order to private firm, indeed, a good move.
More competitive, and less corruption.

Recently China start to allow private film into more area of the defense industry.
And I guess the western media is at a loss of how to spin that news to criticize China.
They cannot say that it is bad because you know "private" enterprise is god in west.
So they can only do a half-*** article that bring in the cloning and copying angle.
So don't get confuse by the article, put more attention and have more appreciation for the difficulties that western media faced while trying to put down China.

Instead of repeating what the West feeds you，use your own brain and be your own judge。

For a country that takes longer time to "BUY" than China to Make, that is the only thing left to massage their wounded ego. They will continue to use this exact line for a very long time.

Typical Indians. Can't compete with China so they cry. Losers!

When a bomb lands on your head, you don't ask if it's a clone, or a patented original, you run like hell!

Well said. War is just one type of cruelty we human beings inflict on ourselves. When human lives are trashed, who gives a damn about patent or originality?

What I'm interested in finding out is whether China has opened up its space program to the private sector. If yes, are there any big boys in China like SpaceX, Blue Origin, etc.?

Buying is better than stealing. There is a reason the term knock-off has been becoming synonymous with Chinese. BTW this has been admitted by Chinese factory manager to me in person, so don't even try to deny it

Instead of repeating what the West feeds you，use your own brain and be your own judge。

yes ofcourse; it is my personal experience as well, that Chinese factory manager told me what happens and how designs are simply copied. We send designs to manufacture in Chinese factory and the next thing you know, a dozen copies appear in the market!
