How do you arrive at the conclusion that there's no innovation in China?
Have you been following what's been going on in China for the last
decade?
The economy will become the biggest in the world very soon, and keeps
owning more and more of the US (currently 16.7% of the US' insane debt).
Is
it not simply the case that you don't see the innovation because you are
not there? Much like, those of us in the west, don't realize that the
ratio
between English and Chinese language use on the Internet is almost on
parity. Given that 50% of Ph.d. candidates in the US are foreign born, it
should scare a lot of politicians to extrapolate what will happen as more
and more of these start to go back home again.
The point about China is much more complex. On one side, they are growing
a lot, as Casper said. On the other side, growth in a scenario such as the
chinese one does not only happen because of innovation, but also because
of the low labour cost, segments such as house building and so on.
But it's not true that China is doing zero innovation, because we've
started to see innovative products made in China.
As a final point, China is also making money by copying others' products
and brands, in spite of patents, copyright and trademarks... So, what can
we draw out of all these points?
