Description
China is seen by many observers as an emerging technological superpower. This is certainly the aim of China's leaders, not just in the central government but in every province and major city. China is, after all, the location of production of a large and growing share of the world's information technology products. But these goods are predominantly being produced for foreign companies and made to foreign designs. Being a huge contract manufacturing base is not the metric Chinese officials use to gauge China's prospects for future economic success. China pins its future on home-grown innovation (zizhu chuangxin). China's president, Hu Jintao, has said that his country must give priority to independent innovation in science and technology to enable China to be at the forefront of scientific and technological development. This statement is not remarkable for the leader of a major trading nation. U.S. President George W. Bush featured the same objective in his 2006 State of the Union message. He recorded his belief that government must work to help create in the United States a new generation of innovation and an atmosphere in which innovation thrives. In his first policy statement to the Japanese Diet, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for similar steps. The European Union Commission has proposed a 10-point program for immediate actions to make the business environment in its member states more innovation-friendly.
