Abstract

The development of the process of military-civilian integration (VGI) in the PRC, which in recent years has adopted the scale of a national strategy and aimed at creating an effective innovative system of science, technology and production in the country, combining military and civilian resources, in order to increase the capabilities of the military-industrial complex for the production of weapons and military equipment of a new generation for modernization of the PLA and at the same time — facilitating the transition of China's economic system to world-class high-tech production to ensure the country's international competitiveness in a new era. The goal of civil-military integration is to create a unified civil-military system and a unified strategic potential of China, in order to plan the development of the military and civil spheres on this basis with the rational use of resources. The estimates of Chinese analysts are given, who believe that the VGI should cover China's top-level national strategies (the "Going Out" strategy, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, innovation-based development, strategies for achieving the status of a world power in critical areas: advanced high-tech manufacturing, space, the world ocean, artificial intelligence) and at the regional level (development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei zone, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the West, the Northeast renewal strategy). The article analyzes the successes in the implementation of the VGI at the present stage, the problems on the way to its deepening and measures to resolve them. In the author's field of view is the efforts made in recent years in China to extend the strategy of the VGI to foreign economic activity and international scientific and technical cooperation.
