National Bureau under the administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense(referred to as: State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense)It is a national bureau managed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology[1], specifically responsible for organizing and managing the formulation and implementation of defense science, technology and industry plans, policies, standards and regulations.
The predecessor of the Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense of the New People's Republic of China, which was established in 1998 (not the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense of the People's Republic of China, which was established in 1982 following the Commission of Science and Technology for National Defense of the People's Liberation Army, which was established in 1952, and the former Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was later the General Armaments Department of the People's Liberation Army).In accordance with the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the First Session of the Eleventh National People's Congress on March 11, 2008《Institutional reform plan of the State Council》Issued.The State Council plans to establish the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National DefenseMinistry of Industry and Information TechnologyManagement, no longer reservedCommission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense。
As a national strategic high-tech industry, national defense science and technology industry covers six major industries, including nuclear, aerospace, aviation, weapons, shipbuilding and electronics, and shoulders the dual mission of strengthening the military and enriching the country.On the one hand, building a strong military is the foundation of national defense science and technology industry. Ensuring the supply of military products and providing material conditions for fighting and winning are the first priority of national defense science and technology industry;On the other hand, defense science, technology and industry should play a leading role in the advanced manufacturing field, play a leading, radiating and driving role in the national economic and social development, and transform technological advantages into industrial advantages.As China's administrative authority in charge of defense science, technology and industry, the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Administration is mainly responsible for serving national defense and military construction, national economic development, and military related enterprises and institutions.At the same time, the Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense is also responsible for organizing and coordinating exchanges and cooperation in atomic energy and space activities between the government and international organizations[2]。

National bureaus under the administration of ministries and commissions under the State Council
In May 1982, the former National Defense Science and Technology Commission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the National Defense Industry Office of the State Council and the Science, Technology and Equipment Commission Office of the Central Military Commission merged to form the Science, Technology and Industry Commission for National Defense, which is under the organizational system of the Central Military Commission. Its work is under the dual leadership of the State Council and the Central Military Commission. It is the leading organ of the Central Military Commission in managing the development and testing of weapons and equipment throughout the military,It is also a comprehensive department of the State Council in charge of national defense scientific research, military products (including aerospace products) production and foreign trade of military products of all relevant industrial departments.
In March 1998, the First Session of the Ninth National People's Congress decided to revoke the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense established in 1982 and establish a new Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, as one of the constituent departments of the State Council, which is responsible for undertaking the functions of the former Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the relevant departments of the State Council, such as the management and construction of defense science, technology and industry, the management of military to civilian conversion, the adjustment and relocation of the third line, and the management of relevant national special plans, as well asGovernment functions undertaken by Aviation, Aerospace, Shipbuilding and Ordnance Industry Corporation.
According to the Decision on the Institutional Reform of the State Council adopted on March 15, 2008, the organizational structure of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will no longer be retained, and the responsibilities of the former Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, except for nuclear power management, will be incorporated into the newly established Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, while the National Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense will be established.[3]
On July 24, 2023, the signing ceremony of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Framework Agreement between China Central Radio and Television Station and the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense was held in Beijing.[12]
