China's Next Strategic Advantage | George S. Yip | Talks at Google

A book for everyone who does business with China or in China.
The history-making development of the Chinese economy has entered a new phase. China is moving aggressively from a strategy of imitation to one of innovation. Driven both by domestic needs and by global ambition, China is establishing itself at the forefront of technological innovation. Western businesses need to prepare for a tidal wave of innovation from China that is about to hit Western markets, and Chinese businesses need to understand the critical importance of innovation in their future.
Experts George Yip and Bruce McKern explain this epic transformation and propose strategies for both Western and Chinese companies. This book is for everyone who does business with China or in China, or is interested in the development of the world's fastest-growing economy. Western CEOs can learn from Chinese companies and can create an effective innovation process in China, for China and the world. Chinese CEOs can benefit from understanding the strategies of their peers as they strive to enter foreign markets. And all Western businesses should prepare for disruption from their new competitors.
Yip and McKern provide case studies of successful firms, outline ten ways in which the managerial and innovative capabilities of these firms differ from those of Western firms, and describe how multinationals doing business in China can become part of the Chinese ecosystem of new knowledge and technology. Yip and McKern argue that these innovation capabilities will be the basis for creating world-class products and services to meet the challenges of a new era of global competition.'

People need to stop saying oh Chinese is just a copycat. In the world of science and technology, it's meaningless to reinvent the wheel. If they are already there, we SHOULD just use it, and then innovate on top of them.The innovation part is happening in recent 3 years, and you'll see more in the coming decades.

The western critique against China...is not EXACTLY a disagreement with "copying." It is a little bit different. The critique is 2 fold. First, education. A critique of Chinese/Asian education systems. Education systems deeply rooted into hierarchy, respect for elders, and young people who do not like risk. Secondly... it seems like the Chinese government allows/promotes copying western technology - with little regard to legal issues/copy writes. Western countries had similar critiques about Japan... NOW the Japanese create unique, and better quality products than the USA.

[@JA-pn4ji]

On education, there's just as much to criticise western education, not least that it is expensive, leaves graduates in debt and doesn't produce enough STEM graduates. On the latter point the US preys on graduates of other countries, in the UK its not unusual to have scientific researchers being lured to the US, and we know indian programmers have had a not inconsequential role in US ICT. There is the view that, "the Chinese government allows/promotes copying western technology...", this is partially true and is also unavoidable, but also(PIIE) China’s payments of licensing fees and royalties for the use of foreign technology have soared reaching almost [US$30 billion] last year. The truth as always with two people in a shouting match is somewhere in the middle.

As far as the innovation vs stealing thing goes, worth noting that the reason the US was so quick in industrializing was that an Englishman (Samuel Slater) left England with the designs of English cotton mills and went in on a partnership with an American to get one working here. Doing so was explicitly illegal in his home country, and it's hard to imagine a clearer case of theft of trade secrets.

And if you really wanted to know about China.. China had mini kingdoms and nations as well... cos since... either you are part of that family tree, or that branch... you would always have to protect yourself from your attackers or enemies. Canton tried to defend itself.. and had strict code of conducts as well... i.e. Guarded the borders.. and raise the population to be educated etc. The work were mostly farming as well... So... or labourer.... If some of the people who went to HK were not from the US.. and that they inter-married with some of the local races in the USA... then, it would not have speeded up the middlemen communication.. and then trades would not have occurred either... and then the rest is history.... There are ethics even when doing businesses though. There can never be endless businesses at all !!.... From a mere 3 billion to 8 billion..... What people did not know is that.. after the first.. or was it the second world war? There were only around 1 billion people.. or maybe less....

[@anythgofnthg154]

I've lived in China. I've dealt with tricky cultural differences too. I find the cultural difference perplexing. But I have to say, in China, they really do seem to defy logic. Like for example, even if I do a simple thing like ask for directions from someone on the street in China, the Chinese will try to save face if they don't know where it is I want to go. They will point to a direction and say "It's over there", rather than saying I don't know if they don't know. They are constantly taking the piss out of you in front of your face as well (they don't assume I can understand Chinese). I'm not saying there aren't assholes in the States, but it really is reflexive and constant in Chinese society. Most westerners who go to China are naive and don't understand the duplicity. I don't want to paint Chinese with too broad of a brush, but man, a LOT of them are just f'ing mean dude. A lot more mean people than you would encounter in America-- and I know America has it's share of assholes. I speak from much experience and I am pretty confident in that.

Some hospitals do make a lot of examinations like X-ray or blood test. This kind of phenomenon is not that serious and gets regulated now. 2. The lecturer said that the Chinese language impedes innovation and creativity because it uses too much brain space. First, it is very rude to claim that. Second, I doubt if there is any robust scientific evidence to this statement. The lecturer is of Chinese descendant but showed little respect for Chinese culture. I think every culture is worth respect and needs to be respected. Needless to say, Chinese culture plays an important role in the whole history of humankind. Saying that the BMW story represents Chinese culture is an insult to all Chinese. Materialism is a problem in every country. And the girl who had been referred to by the lecturer had been criticized all over the Internet. No one can represent a country. I would not say that Donald Trump stands for American society. NO. Both America and China are very diverse, though in a different way. 3. I want to answer a question from an audience. Why do American universities bother to educate Chinese students since they generally do not stay and contribute? Very good question indeed and a very complicated one. The biggest reason why most Students come back to China is not the luring or seduction of the Chinese government. The luring of the Chinese government is just for some very outstanding scholars and valuable engineers. Very few have the privilege to be lured back. Just a small fraction. There are some common reasons that ordinary Chinese students usually come back to China. Firstly, it is very difficult for them to become American citizens, even harder due to Trump presidency. Secondly, Chinese usually cannot get very high in the American social ladder. There is an invisible ceiling that stops them climbing. I do not know the scientific phrase. Sorry. Thirdly, Chinese students know that they can prosper easily in China since they often have wealthy parents who can guarantee their grown-up lives. So why bother dreaming an American dream when you have everything offered in your hometown? Et Cetera. So why do American universities bother to educate Chinese students? Because they pay the money! Universities can use this money to refinance their labs and attract the best scholars in the world with better salaries. Well, send them back. Who does not want the filthy money?

On the one hand the peoples of countries like the United States want to portray the Chinese as out-and-out (state) capitalists as a way of showing that communism is a complete failure and what they call American/western liberal capitalism is thereby vindicated. Yet, on the the other hand, when they need a bogey man to secure funding for their bloated military-industrial-political complex they revert to calling them communist again. So what is it - are the Chinese communist, capitalist, or a peculiar and (so far) unique hybrid of the two… and does it really matter?

China is the #1 economy in the world according to purchasing power parity GDP. And that is without substantially penetrating the US market. Americans have never heard of Haier, Goodbaby. They rarely have seen Huawei. Can you imagine when they do? The next millennium definitely belongs to China.

China's biggest advantage is the absence of Google and Facebook.

[@samsun01]

Google is the most evil organization on Earth. I finally see what they did there with that "Do no Evil'. These bastards were gaslighting us, using "reverse psychology". Glad the Chinese leadership had the foresight or instinct not to let this disgusting 'trojan horse' weak shit get into China. China's internet population just wasn't ready or mature enough to handle the massive propaganda and psychological warfare that the disgusting thug regime of America is capable of (e.g. CIA, NED).

[@kclee6968]

By and large, this is a good academic discourse and examination of the growing innovation in China businesses and Chinese disposition, bar the last comment about Chinese woman preference for BMW owner which is obviously individualistic. He speaks well. The lady at 36:00 was clearly ignorant of the fact that the US universities, apart from other countries in the world, were rolling out the red carpet for the Chinese students and admitting them solely because of their top dollars and not the benevolence of the varsities concerned. In other words, the Chinese students have no moral duty to repay the home country of the universities for the education that they had received. This is a free market, willing buyer willing seller arrangement, after all.

[@samsun01]

China has a ton of people; you know that already. Most of the Chinese girls (excluding girls like you) will have this mindset to a certain extent. The culture of dowry and buying a house for your wife certainly doesn't help the argument. It's a big stress of the men in China right now. I'm sure there are some modernized Chinese girls who subscribe to 'equality' but they are probably from well off families.

[@MeiinUK]

You are being lied to. Cos originally, things like those "wechat".. or those "ICQs".... Those were made by other companies already, elsewhere across the globe. They used the microsoft's own software development tools and made it. It was maybe not patented, or whatever... but it was working, and tried to actually done in a certain way. So.. what happened was that, it was copied... Because the internet laws were not locked down then... and that, individuals, cannot actually do that. They stole that.. and then somehow.. they managed to "monetised" it... in a way.. which benefitted them... This is a very very famous case. Even now.. with the so called "social" media world... the PRC.. is monetising, a LOT of it as well ? And their banks are big enough too. and now Google.. is not even structured in a way which meets compliance. OR meeting.. the different jurisidiction's laws and legality.... I had no idea this was NOT so the case. At all. This is shocking. Their obsession of "sell sell sell" is way too much ? And their obsession of breeding... gazillion amount of people as well.... And inbreeding AS well... the list goes on and on and on ?? What he said about the cars... is just maybe a side example of... "this did not existed before"... Which is true. So many people, are thrown from a mere "100-200 years of evolution, under a mere 40 years".... THAT is the BEST perception of everything. China wanted to run fast. It has now reached plateau. What can you do ? But this is still not good enough for them though.

Honestly speaking, the Chinese always learn to succeed in the hard way. They accept and learn from mistakes of stumbling, failures, humiliation and challenging obstacles , as the Chinese are educated and taught that FAILURE is the KEY to SUCCESS. Most of all, Chinese people are taught Also to be Respectful , Humble, forgiving and accommodating since young but this doesn’t mean those who are bias against Chinese people should continue to displaying bullies and discrimination… because these two characteristics indicate Degradation of whoever express these unkind qualities.

Chinese innovation have reached much more than telecommunication or Huawei and into heavy machinery, tunnel borer, ships, aircraft carriers, submarines, best of all electric passenger planes. One questioner asks what can USA learn from China. The Chinese have taken an evolutionary leap from multi-party system (which fails to solve gun control, healthcare, workers' security etc) to a one party system that proves to be a self-error correcting system.

[@crwhhx]

About the question on educating foreign student and let them go home. If you had the experience as a foreign student in the US, you would not even ask this question. Before US gov grants you a student visa, they need to establish a belief that you have no inclination to permanently migrate to the US. Basically they make you swear that you will leave US once you finish school before they can give you a visa and let you into the US. The US gov does not want foreign students to stay.

[@menedoffou6982]

The question Chinese students returning to China after being educated in the West can be turned around. A lot of the Chinese students that choose to stay in the US arrived here having received primary, secondary, and college education in China. When they choose to stay here the investment that China made on them is lost.

It's learning rather than copying

[@MeiinUK]

It was copying. Cos the laws were set in a specific way. Just that those who participate REFUSED to acknowledge the full force of the laws. This is why. There are many cases like this inside China... each and every day... Unknown laws. Cos they are not the specialist in those areas. Trust me, it was copied. And the other thing is, do not think that higher level leaders... do not know, or do not talk to foreign companies or entities etc. The relevant individuals would've done so, especially for contractual reasons etc.

Then, for the mobile pay, every user has to have a bank account at the first place. BTW, in U.S., the powerful credit cards companies will not be happy to see the development of mobile pay services. In China, the government has reconciled the interests of conflicts between mobile pay companies and banks.

The final story of the woman's 'laugh in the back of a BMW' isn't reflective of Chinese culture, it reflected that woman's unfortunate view of life. What Mr Yip failed to mention is the backlash on Chinese social media against what she had said. I suggest the backlash was more representative of Chinese culture than the more entertaining comment that sadly has undertones of racism, notwithstanding Mr Yip's heritage.

[@MeiinUK]

After I have read a few more social media posts and things. I am beginning to see what and why now actually. Those in position of powers, doesn't want to "do".... and they never also guard themselves well either. That is the point. Whereas, some or most people actually do work.. and to slowly produce something.... etc etc etc. It's one of those things that, people doesn't know what else to do etc. Yip... somebody posted this online, and I don't know if it is indeed true or not. Yip.. was one of the Imperial Civil servants... UK had a supermarket named Wing Yip as well... by the Yip family who then tried to provide education scholarships etc. I don't know if this ended up as happening or not. But anyway, people are dying... and... Cantonese, or Chinese is becoming extinct any way. So.. it is no longer China actually. Which is a sad state of affair really.

[@zimyang4852]

For the Chinese student part, does that somewhat cute girls know what she is asking about? Does she mean that it is best if Chinese students can stay in U.S. and compete with local students in the job markets to make contributions to US society?

No Economic Collapse: As Deng Xiaoping It's good to be rich Part. 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJLSoIyaeM1qrLs Chinese Billionaires are leaving China not because of some silly economic problems in China but because China is composed of strong communities either thru traditional multi-generational groups of communities or the recently organized groups that sprout from the Chinese military that have now also engage and made partners with other business groups. They may have created people at the helm that represent them because when dealing with foreign groups particularly with the US making deals is efficient with a man at the helm like a CEO. However those that are not powerful enough to create companies and corporations and because of Western Education have lost its connection with its community have to go to the West to retain their status. Money is useless in strong communities when you leave the community to get Western Education you cannot expect local Chinese Communities in your home town to still treat you like a tribal leader despite being your father being one of the elders and this is the same as those Japanese Clans that have disappeared after the next generation spend no time with their local communities to pursue their carrier in the West. This is why most Chinese Companies are related to the PLA because only the PLA will never loss its connection with its comrades. The Chinese Communist Party must not become a slave to the system the last thing the Party wants is for its members to become weak and dependent on the government and the system and forget to innovate, create bonds and live life. Take for example Oscar here his always online despite working in government and his job description is not tech support but farming extension. This is very bad because qualified people should take the job because our farmers need a voice in the government instead Oscar like so many of the middle-class inbreeds put by the Indo-European Feudal Lords are afraid and hooked into the system to survive. Oscar should be just an investor so that qualified people should be put to work. The Chinese Communist Party must have freedom to engage in the pursuit of a Lao-Tzu living life to the fullest thru innovation and science. The Chinese military cannot be forced to remain as automaton soldiers or it might end up like those mindless US troops that invade countries left and right, their is room for talented PLA people to partner with the private sector and form giant Chinese Companies nor are the founder comrades of the Chinese Communist Party particularly in Beijing cannot be forced to be traffic and utility people themselves but have the freedom and ability to delegate the responsibility to ordinary Chinese so that they can have time to broaden their knowledge and innovate to further strengthen the Party. The expansion of the Chinese Military depends upon talented people doing their thing and contributing to China's defense of its borders and further activities that strengthen troop purpose thus various front of the Chinese military determines the increase in the budget instead of becoming static and depending on Congress budget. This also holds thru for the working class that run Beijing, they must have the ability to hire Chinese from outside Beijing instead of monopolizing mundane labor that prevents the Chinese Beijing workers from becoming responsible investors helping Beijing grow and prosper. China must not be like most countries that are colonies by the West, their is so much labor here if utilized properly that Oscar can stay on face book all day and stay in a resort instead of working in some office just to log in facebook. China's economy must keep on growing not like third world countries which the West strangle otherwise if they have so much economic activity their local currencies will flow out of this third world countries instead of the dollar flowing into this countries and determining who becomes the middle-class and who becomes the majority poor. The Chinese Communist Members must have the ability to create jobs not become a slave, making ordinary Chinese engage with the Party will ensure that the Chinese Communist Party stay in power. This is why China must institute anti- corruption campaign to prevent its members from becoming like Oscar and a slave to the system. In China community comes first.
