The New America Foundation presents a discussion on the potential of China to become an innovation superpower.
When:
October 12, 2012 9:00am to 11:00am

But doubts persist about the nation’s ability to ever become an innovation superpower. Will China succeed at fostering creative incubators on par with Silicon Valley and America’s great research universities? And, contrary to the zero-sum nature of political rhetoric, should Americans root for China’s innovators?
