Missile firm targets overseas growth

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the country's largest missile maker, will step up global expansion this year, as it aims to quintuple the number of foreign enterprises registered on its industrial internet platform.

Wei Yiyin, deputy general manager of CASIC, said less than 2,000 foreign companies have registered on its online industrial internet platform - casicloud.com.

"We aim to increase the number to 10,000 by the end of this year as our company ramps up efforts to promote our services to Pakistan, Europe and Southeast Asia," Wei said.
