Abstract

Naubahar Sharif, Associate Professor of HKUST’s Social Science Division, describes China’s current technological prowess in terms of research and development (R&D) intensity, personnel, number of scientific publications, and number of patent applications, all of which indicate that China is currently one of the world’s top producers of high technology research, and is set to become the world’s technology leader before the end of the century.
