Recommendation

China’s tech industry has transformed from a “copycat” into the new bastion of technological invention and creative collaboration. In this information-rich article, Wired contributing editor Clive Thomas offers a compelling analysis of how China achieved this technological rise, presents profiles of some of the nation’s main innovators, and explains how and why China managed to, effectively, beat Silicon Valley at its own game. getAbstract recommends this article to entrepreneurs, investors and everyone interested in the latest tech-industry trends.

Take-Aways

  • In the early 2000s, Chinese tech companies modeled themselves after innovative American firms like Google and Amazon.
  • China’s recent economic boom ushered in a new era of innovation. Today, young Chinese techies don’t want stable jobs at existing companies; they want their own start-ups.
  • China’s rising middle class provides an eager consumer base for technological innovations, particularly in the e-commerce and mobile service industries, and for accompanying hardware.
