![]() | A survey made by an US organization revealed that American people are impressed by Chinese people's innovation ability and think that China will become the No.1 innovative nation in the world in ten years. Meanwhile, it also reveals that about 70% people think that US should invest more in some innovative areas. About two thirds Americans think that the enterprises should enhance their innvation ability. Do you believe that China will exceed US in ten years and become the No.1 innovative nation in the world? |

![]() | No. The Chinese are very good at copying something, very likely the best in the world. But, very few original ideas originate here. Take a good solid look at the educational system at you will know what I mean. |

![]() | Very few things originate in China? Can you say "gunpowder" grasshopper? The ancient monuments you see all around you in Xi'an were technological marvels of the time. There is no reason to believe that the Chinese will not innovate in the future. ...pointing to the educational system and blaming it for stiffling critical thought is an old, dull and rusty saw. Some people were born to create and innovate - those innate gifts can neither be taught or learned without the gift. |

![]() | Chinese people are very good at copying things. ditto. But I think they can revive their creativity, since history shows that they are capable of being very creative. |

![]() | I do not know whether China will become the No.1 innovative nation in the world 10 years later. What I have known is that China is reviving their creativity and is developing fast. J-10, Shenzhou man-made 5 and 6 vehicle, Loongson CPU and other hi-tech techonology and products are all made by their own. They are creative. We have to admit that the pirate problem is very serious in China. In almost everywhere, you will see pirate DVD, books and other commodities. The IPR Infringement is a serious problem. Hope the government can find ways to solve this problem as quickly as possible by establishing laws or adopting other means. |

In post 1949 China, Mao's China, creative thinking was something to be avoided at all costs. Yes, there is a great deal more creative freedom here now, but I don't see China taking the #1 ranking in innovation in a 10 year time frame. I refer you once again to the educational system. |

![]() | ...and I say that blaming education is an old worn out saw that no longer cuts. In fact, the only true thing one can say about that saw you are trying to cut with is that it can't cut straight. ...but I'll elaborate in another thread rather than threadjacking this one... Will China be the leading innovator in 10 years time? Maybe...maybe not. The 10 year time line depends on when all the pieces of modernization come together and achieve critical mass. As JOHNNY512 rightly pointed out, China is doing a lot of impressive work these days. It doesn't have much visibility outside of specific disciplines, but China is making good progress. |

![]() | It all depend on how China sells itself to the world. There is alot of technical innovations in China that is not accpeted by the world market due to biasness of consumers outside China and also a lot of "market protection" by big multinational companies who actually control the world market. Some Chinese Companies manage to sell their new innovations by registering a Company in the West especially USA and label their products as made in USA. Chines people are still very innnovative. |
