摘要
WHEN looking at China＇s 12th Five-Year Plan （2011-15） we observe that the country has singled out several industries, such as new energy resources and biotechnology, and has expressed its aspiration to support related businesses in order to compete on a global scale. It seems that China＇s effort has turned out positively in some areas. These efforts were based on unprecedented growth rates for the last three decades, which might now be a matter of the past. Yet, meanwhile China has transformed itself from a country that copies Western and other Asian competitors to one that has the most number of patent filings worldwide. Based on this experience.
