National Defense & Military Industry
With the continued advancement of China's comprehensive national power and robust technological development in the military and defense industry, businesses in this sector now shoulder a dual strategic task of helping develop the nation's economy and safeguarding national security. As China's military and defense industry grows, talents, technologies, and resources in this industry will continue shifting to serve civilian purposes, and non-military enterprises will become increasingly involved in the military industry. Such trends lead to the convergence and sharing of military and civilian resources, forming between the military and civilian companies a comprehensive and deeply integrated cooperation covering a multitude of sectors.
Our firm is among the leading practices in this industry. Zhong Lun's Chengdu office was among the first to be included in the Schedule of Legal Consulting Providers for Confidential Military Industry Business issued by the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and has obtained a Certificate of Registration as Meeting the Requirements of Security and Confidentiality of Confidential Military Industry Business, and has practitioners privy to confidential matters in relation to the military industry. We provide counseling services related to electronic information, new material, high-end tech equipment, technology transfer, and other fields to defense technology entities, military and civilian cooperation entities, and companies and other organizations in the military industry.
