| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper looks at the principal stages in the formation of the China Academy of Engineering Physics, the only organization in that country that is in charge of developing and manufacturing nuclear weapons. The Academy is a relatively little known, yet important and growing component of China's defense-industrial complex (DIC). Nuclear weapons are not its only concern, for it also works on laser weapons, weapons on new physical principles, and some promising lines in civil innovation. |
