History
In the late 1990s, there was a massive reorganization of the Chinese defense industry. The main goal of this restructuring was to separate the purchase of weapons, for which the General Arms Division of the People’s Liberation Army became responsible. His task was to control the production and development of armaments at several different enterprises, such as China North Industrial Corporation and China South Industrial Corporation. These enterprises were state-owned, but were not under direct government control. As a result, policy development for these industries has been transferred to KONTOP. Due to the huge changes in KONTOP, many analysts share the "new KONTOP" (1998-2008) and the "old KONTOP" (1982-1998) [6] .
COSTIND played an important role in the space program of China , as one of its offices in the Chinese National Space Administration , which is responsible for the course of China in space.
