Imitator To Innovator: How China Could Soon Be The World's Tech Leader

But following years of government support, strong GDP growth and significant investment in education, the outlook has changed. China has moved from imitator to innovator, and in the new era of fintech, biotech and machine learning, I expect it to take a global leading role.
