Does anybody want to see why China can't innovate?
This is such a stupid idea that it sounds like something out of a novel warning against the evils of big government.
Innovation comes from many competing ideas, not one idea to rule them all.

This does sound like one of the many boondoggles that governments oversee, but I'd say there's still a role for big government in this area, setting proper RAND-Z standards, busting cartels, supporting open source and the like.
