To stimulate digital innovation, including information and telecommunication technologies, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence, China has introduced various policies and institutional arrangements. It has not been well examined, however, what kinds of policies and regulations have been deployed by the central and local governments and how they have affected innovative activities and technological progress at companies. In this seminar, we discuss the recent development of public policies and their effects on innovation in China. In particular, we examine cases of digital innovation in cities such as Shenzhen and the effects of policy measures and instruments. We also look at the impact of the United States’ trade policies on innovation in China. Policy implications are explored for facilitating digital innovation while addressing societal concerns about security and sustainability.
