Recenzje

Lee masterfully synthesizes his own thirty years of observation and analysis of China's technological achievement, providing a comprehensive theoretical framework and extraordinarily rich empirical content, especially in the telecom, automobile, and semiconductor sectors. As China's policy-makers gamble on a new generation of technological change, Lee shows how technological leapfrogging is an indispensable part of broader economic catch-up. Incomparable as a source of insight into the big technology issues shaping—and shaking—China and the world today.
