The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology via Coursera

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

In this course, we examine science and technology in Chinese society today as well as the basis for the policy prescriptions the Chinese government is currently employing to promote innovation and technology development. We will cover the impact of these policies on the efforts of Chinese companies to enhance their global technological competitiveness. We will learn how observers inside and outside China have come to regard the country as a “technological superpower”, and analyze the extent to which this reflects the actual situation today (and tomorrow).
