Serious question: lots of people claiming innovations in China. What are these innovations in the past 20 years? Where are these innovations sold? Because walking around the busy streets of Europe or America or Japan, I sure don't see any Chinese brands or products that would be remotely popular. sure there are made in China stuff ( although nowadays it's made in Vietnam or India or Philippines).
- sremani 11y agoChina joined WTO in 2000. So in a way they have a delayed start. By 2025-2030 time frame they are going to be #1 economy in absolute terms, so I would take the article very seriously esp. in conjunction with stifling IP laws of West. You are being dismissive and I understand where you are coming from, but in 2035 when you are walking the streets of Europe you my friend will see lot of Chinese brands. I am not that bullish on China, but the world center of finance is already shifting to East at a rapid pace. Taunt at your own peril.

- msie 11y agoI haven't been paying attention to the streets of Europe or America or Japan, but I sure see a lot of Chinese names on papers heralding scientific advances from Western labs.

- gozo 11y agoThe answer is that you're asking the wrong question. China has half the worlds population at its doorstep. Whatever you're seeing isn't relevant nor is a 20 year time frame. China is going to sell infrastructure and consumer products to all the emerging economy in the upcoming decades. That some things aren't made in China anymore is a sign of success not the other way around.
