I am no expert in china, I don't know what exactly it means. But if my country had a "State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense", and the national space adminstration reported to them, i would assume the national defense was military.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Administration_for_Scien...

"State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense" is a civilian ministry within the State Council of the People's Republic of China and is a subordinate agency of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the superseding agency of the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND).

You might as well think Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is in charge of civilian and military application of relevant tech in manufacturing and information tech. Just like DoE also manages nuclear weapons.

The DOE/NNSA has federal responsibility for the design, testing and production of all nuclear weapons. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_En...

I am unhappy about the parent, is that people are commenting things without sensible realization of their own limitations. I frequent here, is because of people are far more sensible about their limitations on almost all topics.

But that sensibility is non-surprisingly low in China-related topics.
