SOEs to make greater efforts in tech innovation

Central State-owned enterprises will make greater efforts in technology innovation and promotion in 2013.

Xu Dazhe, general manager at China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation, said CASIC is trying to establish itself as a top global aerospace defense enterprise by promoting key businesses including the establishment of a missile system and army-civilian integration projects.

"This year our company should be well prepared to expand at a stable speed and promote the development of national defense equipment," Xu said.

China National Nuclear Corporation also said it plans to take further steps to develop sustainable nuclear power in 2013.
