In China, this chain is continuous. A cosmology built on relation and balance shapes the design of institutions; those institutions create the instruments and incentives that pull new technologies into use; and the results appear not as isolated breakthroughs but as systems that scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eUsing China as the central case, the book traces this pattern from the Han Dynasty’s invention of paper to today’s AI systems and the Digital Yuan. The through-line is governance—not as bureaucracy, but as a framework that coordinates actors, aligns purpose, and accelerates diffusion. What matters most are the joints: where philosophy becomes policy, where policy becomes implementation, and where implementation becomes national capability. This is the I⁵ model in practice—ideas, institutions, instruments, infrastructure, impact—each layer shaping and reinforcing the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eRather than treating China’s approach as an exception or as ideology, the book examines it as a structured method with deep historical roots and clear strategic logic. It shows how China uses institutional rivalry, state-backed demand creation, and long-horizon coordination to shorten development cycles and turn emergent technologies into societal systems—whether in the first imperial bureaucracy or in contemporary fields like artificial intelligence and digital finance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThe analysis is both historical and forward-looking. It explains how governance can create demand for technologies that do not yet have markets, why China’s shifts between outward learning and self-reliance follow geopolitical necessity, and what these patterns reveal about the coming contests around AI, the Digital Yuan, and the wider digital economy. The lessons are practical: technological power is built at the interfaces, and those who can shape the joints between ideas and action will set the terms of global competition in the years ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789819570553\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow China Creates and Adopts Technology Through Governance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9789819570553","offer_id":57827268886853,"sku":"9789819570553","price":128.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1fff6073-9e06-45b4-a394-d2cbbe0a97d0.jpg?v=1781244774","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-innovation-machine-von-andy-mok","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
