S. He, R. Sanders

Research output: Contribution to Book/ReportChapter

Abstract

China presents us with many puzzles. Is it a developed or still developing economy, is it capitalist or communist, planned or market-led? Many of these puzzles find resonance in the country’s latest scheme to attract global scientific elites for not only does the initiative represent China’s strategy to reform its national innovation system, but it also offers a lens through which to understand this huge and dynamic country and an opportunity to confront the puzzles within it.
