MST officials said the ministry chose those high-tech fields in accordance with the world science and technology development trend, and the requirements of China's development strategy of science and technology as well as economic and social development.

The other 10 fields that enjoy government support include: bio-engineering technology and new pharmaceutical industry, new materials, advanced manufacturing technology, aerospace technology, modern agricultural technology and new energy and highly efficient energy-saving technology.

They also include: environmental protection technology, marine engineering, application of nuclear technology and new technology for upgrading traditional ventures.
