Made in China: tech in 2022

Made in China: tech in 2022’ offers a comprehensive review of all things ‘technology’ in China: its policies, latest innovations, markets, and exports. China is striving to become the technological powerhouse of the world. It is making huge investments and implementing policies to become the world’s foremost innovator, particularly in high tech industries, and to export its technologies around the world. Its rapid technological advances in the past few decades have contributed significantly to its significant economic growth and expanded geopolitical influence. Today, China is in practically any conversation to do with technology, from 5G to electric vehicles to biopharma. To understand how China got to where it is today and where it will be going next, there needs to be a strong understanding of how the tech industry works: how the Chinese government has used policies to promote (or stunt) the growth of industries, what the innovation and market landscapes are, and how China has used technology, directly or indirectly, as an arm of foreign policy.
