Minister of MOST: GEOSS cited as No. 1 China has participated in many international scientific plans and scientific projects, such as the GEOSS, square kilometers radio telescope, integrated ocean drilling, thermonuclear experimental pile plan. Wan Gang said that we are actively involved in these big science programs and projects at the same time, but need to do more to propose and organize international scientific plans and scientific projects.

China is one of the GEO Co-chairs  Representing the Asia-Oceania (AO) region and the developing countries.  The representing organization of GEO in China is the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST).  Dr. YIN Hejun, the Vice-Minister of MOST is the GEO co- chair and GEO Principal of China. 5 China appointed a Vice Minister as GEO Principal and Co-Chair – a level that can coordinate relevant resources within China.

 The GEO Principal of China severed as the head of China GEO Inter-Ministerial Coordination Group.  Primary Duties include strengthening the coordination, planning and scheduling, integrating resources, and guiding the participation of China in GEO.  Couple of years ago, China established the Inter- Ministerial Coordination Board that comprises 19 Ministries and Administrations, including, Ministry of Science and Technology, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Land and Resources, China Meteorological Administration, National Administration of Surveying Mapping and Geoinformation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc..
