The 2nd China Military and Civilian Integration Expo, opened on Monday in Beijing, saw over 200 high-tech companies displaying their achievements on military-civilian integration, including command information system and visual reality technology for military training. Also presented at the expo were advanced unmanned ships, drones and counter-terrorism robots, along with other armored vehicles for transportation and command. Over 30,000 visitors are expected to visit the expo.

China has been encouraging private companies in the military industry and has lifted barriers to market access for them. On Jan. 1, 2016, China’s Central Military Commission released guidelines for military reform, which also included targets to achieve significance results by 2020 in improving military-civilian integration.
