The Central Science and Technology Commission (CSTC,) is a commission of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that supervises and coordinates science and technology related policymaking across ministries, agencies, research institutes and industry.
The CSTC was established in 2023 under CCP general secretary Xi Jinping as part of wide-ranging reforms to change party and state structures.[1] The commission held its first meeting in July 2023.[2] The Ministry of Science and Technology subsequently announced on its website that cadres were studying the outcome of the meeting.
