China’s progress in modernizing its strategic assets and capabilities owes much to the ongoing transformation of China’s defense industries, particularly the aerospace sector, over the past decade. Since the late 1990’s, China’s government has gradually introduced elements of competition and globalization, with the aim of overcoming the entrenched monopoly of China’s traditional defense-industrial conglomerates.
而中国在战略资产和军事能力现代化上所取得的进步则主要得益于其当前进行的国防工业转型，尤其是过去十年间在航空航天部门所取得的成果。中国政府自1990年代以来逐步在这些领域引入竞争和全球化，目的就是为了打破传统国防大企业根深蒂固的垄断。
