DESCRIPTION:Profession Xiaolan FU from Oxford University is going to intro
 duce her research work and newly published book on Chinese industrial inno
 vations.\n\nDrawing from her recent book\, China’s Path to Innovation (p
 ublished by Cambridge University Press)\, Xiaolan will examine the transfo
 rmation of China’s economy over the last three decades by evaluating its
  increasing industrial competitiveness as revealed through surging exports
  and rising technological intensity in the composition of exports. She wil
 l discuss how China managed to develop and upgrade its technological capab
 ilities at such a remarkable speed. In doing so she seeks to answer the qu
 estion of how China can enhance its indigenous innovation capability to mo
 ve from imitation to innovation. She will address this important question 
 by examining 1) how China can build up a strong innovation system through 
 an Open National Innovation System in the era of globalisation\; and 2) ho
 w China can fulfil its innovation potential by reforming incentive structu
 re\, strengthening institutional framework\, and enhancing the level and q
 uality of innovation inputs. She will also review the experience to see if
  China can be a model of innovation that other countries can learn from.
