The Diplomat argues that China’s 15th Five-Year Plan outline omits explicit mention of military-civil fusion (MCF), continuing a pattern of reduced public references since 2021. The source suggests this reflects a shift toward concealment and re-labeling rather than a substantive end to dual-use integration, with institutions and projects reportedly persisting.
A State Council guideline calls for deeper military-civil integration by sharing innovation infrastructure, commercializing defense technologies, and encouraging private capital into defense-adjacent industries. The strategy targets space, cyberspace, and maritime sciences to drive supply-side reform, but faces governance and geopolitical risks tied to dual-use technology controls.
A 2022 Margin Research report argues that China has professionalized and consolidated cyber capabilities—particularly through PLA reforms and the Strategic Support Force—while expanding a broad cyber governance regime. It portrays Chinese cyber activity as a long-term strategy centered on information control, large-scale collection, and civil–military integration, with implications for U.S. security and globally exposed industries.
