    In the coming decade, China will dominate technology because it has focused intensively on the important partnership between the public and private sectors with stunning results.

    It’s the “partnership between the public and private sectors” in particular that lost consumer and foreign government trust in technology originating from China.

    How is China going to “dominate” anything when it’s spent the last 20+ years shamelessly ripping off R&D through reverse-engineering and corporate espionage? What can it even claim of its own as true innovation?

      Technology transfers have also been a large part of China’s strategy, which results in large firms voluntarily transferring IP in exchange for large contracts. It’s unfortunate that in many other places, we’re still doing lowest bidder private contracting plagued by cost overruns.

    Lol, ok.

    Looking to ME for development of Tech, making these wild claims about China… I’m not so sure this person knows what the fuck they are talking about.
