China has been working to boost and promote the integration of military and civilian development after the Communist Party of China established a dedicated commission for such a purpose in January, headed by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
But what exactly has the integration achieved? 
An exposition showcasing the latest in defense technologies has just concluded in Beijing. Over 354 participants presented 422 pieces of innovative technology during the event, according to China's Ministry of Defense.
Some of the featured technology earned the label "black magic" due to the originality and uniqueness of their design.
