Stocks climb on military White Paper

SHANGHAI shares rallied strongly to end at a renewed seven-year high yesterday as China’s military strategy White Paper gave a boost to the country’s military product manufacturers.

The Shanghai Composite Index rose 2.02 percent to 4,910.9 points, the highest since January 21, 2008.

China yesterday released its ninth White Paper since 1998 on military strategy, stressing active defense and pledging closer international security cooperation.

The White Paper on “China’s Military Strategy,” issued by the State Council Information Office, outlined a strategy that unifies strategic defense and operational and tactical offense.

It is the first White Paper to specify strategy and highlights four “critical security domains” of ocean, outer space, cyberspace and nuclear force.

Investors got the cue to pursue shares of the military industries, with aeronautical companies leading the surge.

China Spacesat Co rallied by the daily 10 percent limit to 75.65 yuan (US$12.19), Aerospace Communications Holdings Group Co surged 9.99 percent to 21.80 yuan, as did Shaanxi Aerospace Power Hi-Tech Co to 41.18 yuan.

Minsheng Securities said China’s newly announced “Made in China 2025” industrial blueprint emphasizes military equipment manufacturing.
