Chinese technology
With the state’s help, Chinese technology is booming
But it will not be a smooth road to global dominance, says Hal Hodson
Success stories
China’s nuclear industry and high-speed trains are world class
And the state has been crucial in making them so
Intellectual property
Chinese inventiveness shows the weakness of the law
Entrepreneurs struggle to retain control of their inventions
Microprocessors
China is slowly moving up the microprocessing value chain
Getting good at designing is easier than at manufacturing, however
The future
Technological progress in China could still lead to fireworks
Is a showdown likely with America?
