Abstract
In order to respond to the rapidly changing and increasingly complex global socio-technological environment outlined in the preceding chapter and to participate in the development of the 4G technological ecosystem and gain core technology and market share, the Chinese government is currently engaged in an extensive overhaul of its technological strategy. It is replacing its go-it-alone techno-nationalistic strategy with a globalised adaptive-policy framework that is focused on the pursuit of technological alliances and global ecosystem embeddedness. It is important to note here these changes are not just confined to the global wireless communication sector, but also can be seen in other technological sectors such as aviation, nanotechnology and automobile technology (Tang, 2011; Ting and Shapira, 2010, 2011; Boeing, 2012; Quan, Haifeng and Zhenhua, 2014; Goedeking, 2010; Wang, 2008; McKinsey, 2013). However, as it has already been established, the focus of this book is confined to the global wireless communication sector.
