Historical background

  • Before the 15th century: global leader
  • The 15th—1949: China’s decline and the

Communist victory

  • 1950’s—1978:Socialist period
  • Since 1978: Reforms

Reforms

  • Market-oriented economy
  • “Open door policy”
  • Decentralization
  • Private ownership
  • Linkages between research and

production

  • -Torch program, high technology cluster,

R&D centers

Beijing Shenzhen

  • Shenzhen High-tech Industrial

Park (SHIP).

  • Zhongguancun Science Park

(ZGC). High-tech cluster

  • Lack of URIs before 1990’s.
  • Set up the virtual campus and

university town in late 1990’s.

  • R&D expenditure was RMB 7

billion in 2003.

  • Local high-tech firms are active

such as Huawei, ZTE.

  • Invention patent moved up to No.3

in the country in 2003.

  • Center of the best URIs in the

country.

  • R&D expenditure was RMB 25

billion in 2003.

  • URIs and MNC/indigenous high-

tech enterprises are active in R&D.

  • R&D, publication, invention patent

and technology contract value remain the highest in the country. S&T strength

Beijing Shenzhen

  • The virtual campus and university

town are located in SHIP.

  • URI-affiliated research institutes

serve as the bases of R&D, professional edu cation, and technology transfer/industrialization.

  • Major mode: technology transfer

and licensing through cooperation with local companies.

  • URIs are concentrated in ZGC.
  • Technology transfer activities

through TLO offices at URIs.

  • URI-affiliated enterprises such as

PKU’s Founder, CAS’s Lenovo, THU’s Tongfang.

  • University science parks such as

THU Science Park, PKU Science Park, BUAA Science Park.

  • Major mode: spin-off and

university science park. URI- industry linkages

  • THU, PKU, CAS started to set up

research institutes or graduate schools in the middle and late 1990’s.

  • Elite URIs in the country such as

THU, PKU, CAS. URI
