Silicon China. A country of boundless opportunity?

The People’s Republic of China has realized that it is time for a rejuvenation of its great nation. The goal is no longer just to be the workbench of the world, but also to catch up to other industrialized countries in terms of quality and efficiency. The country intends to be the world-leading high-tech manufacturer. For this reason, the strategy paper ‚Made in China 2025‘ was introduced in 2015. The efforts to achieve those ambitions are analyzed in this publication. Martin Rambach focuses on the Chinese high-tech industries of Artificial Intelligence, Mobility, E-commerce, financial technology and its involved major players and considers the international perspective of the Chinese development ambitions.
