The new company has about 310,000 employees, 147 subsidiaries including manufacturing complexes nationwide and 35 institutes as well as total assets of 790 billion yuan . Major military hardware deployed by the People's Liberation Army Navy, such as aircraft carriers and submarines, were designed and built by subsidiaries of the company, according to a statement published by the conglomerate on Tuesday.
"China Shipbuilding Corp will uphold national strategies about building strong marine and manufacturing industries, boosting science and technology, developing the military into a world-class force and transforming the company itself into a top-tier enterprise," the statement said.
"It is also important for the growth of the country's defence technology industry as well as the reform and development of State-owned enterprises," the chairman said, adding that the new company will have better resources, a higher level in science and technology and a stronger capability to compete in domestic and international markets.
