No Coincidence That China Becomes Global Highland Of Industrial Innovation
BEIJING, China: After a period of confusing noise about China's "over-capacity," some Western media are slowly starting to return to reality. The Financial Times recently published an editorial titled "Chinese electric vehicles are more of an opportunity than a threat," stating that the US and Europe should welcome China to produce cost-effective cars in the cheapest segments to help achieve economic decarbonization. Even The Economist, which is often biased against China's economy, acknowledged China's growing role as the world's R&D lab. The magazine also noted that foreign CEOs now see China's brainpower and its innovation-curious regulatory regime are crucial ingredients of their companies' global success.
