BEIJING—China’s central authorities have revamped a national leadership group charged with planning and studying key technological development strategies, signaling potential policy shifts are underway as the Chinese regime’s technological ambitions have fueled a backlash abroad.
The group, formerly called the “National Technology and Education leadership Group” under China’s cabinet-like State Council, has been renamed without the mention of education to reflect a focus on technology, according to a circular published on the central government’s website on Aug. 8.
