Governing China's Digital Transformation: Industrial Policy, Regulatory Governance, and Innovation: Routledge Studies in the Economics of Innovation
Autor Jiwei Qianen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2025
The book explores critical themes including digital industrial policies, competition policy, data governance, and artificial intelligence development. It introduces two dynamics: the “digital amplification of fragmentation,” which explains how digital technologies intensify existing governance challenges, and the “technology-policy recursive loop,” which describes the interaction between technological advancement and regulatory responses. Using diverse data sources and covering developments such as China’s 2020–2021 regulatory crackdown of major technology firms like Alibaba and Tencent, the book provides a comprehensive examination of China’s unique approach to digital governance. Special attention is paid to pressing issues such as data security, cross-border data flows, and technological self-reliance.
An essential read for policymakers, business leaders, and scholars seeking to understand China’s digital economy and its implications for global digital governance. Its accessible analysis offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, policy, and economic development in contemporary China.

Recenzii
"Jiwei Qian’s book, Governing China’s Digital Transformation, offers an incisive, up-to-date and comprehensive survey of China’s efforts to guide the growth of the digital economy. Emphasizing the tradeoffs between promotion of rapid technological innovation while preserving state control over the use of data, Qian analyzes the interplay between technological change and regulatory responses in such areas as e-commerce, fintech, smart manufacturing, and AI. Treating digital technology as the main driver of economic growth compounds the old problem of fragmented governance and competing goals. For example, the government has pressed the digital platform giants to develop indigenous “chokepoint” technologies to replace overseas-origin software, while at the same time encouraging them to realize the economic benefits of consumer-facing network technologies. The book will stand as an authoritative study of this hugely important and rapidly developing sector of China’s economy."

"This book is a timely and important contribution. Understanding China’s rapid rise as a technological superpower—and the challenges it faces in governing its digital sectors—has become a matter of both urgent policy relevance and scholarly significance as competition for digital and AI supremacy increasingly defines the new frontier of China–US geostrategic rivalry. With comprehensive coverage spanning digital technological change, industrial policy, as well as the regulation of cross-border data flows and artificial intelligence, this book offers both breadth and depth. Dr. Qian provides a sophisticated analysis of China’s industrial and regulatory strategies, showing how digital technologies and state policies co-evolve in shaping the country’s digital economy. This book is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and scholars alike. It not only advances our understanding of China’s digital transformation but also underscores its global implications for innovation, regulation, and digital governance."

"China is in the midst of a fascinating development of its digital economy, and few scholars are as familiar and up-to-date with the transition as Jiwei Qian. In this book, he offers an authoritative analysis of the economic and technological forces that provides a complex and challenging environment for China’s efforts to promote and regulate digital innovation. At the center of his theoretical argument is the digital amplification of fragmentation in policies for regulating data, affecting issues such as public data sharing, cross-border data flows, as well as data security. This has introduced a recursive loop in the implementation of innovation policies and regulation of digital platforms, shifting from top-down imposition of policies and consensus-building initiatives through negotiation and bargaining processes. Undergirding these theoretical insights Qian offers a robust base of empirical evidence about key events that have shaped the digital transformation of China in recent decades. This book is therefore essential reading for students of China’s current and future economic development."
- Erik Baark, Professor Emeritus, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong
"Governing China’s Digital Transformation is a masterful account of China’s digital industrial policies and their implementation. In this timely intervention, Qian captures with clarity and insight how the Chinese state navigates the tensions between rapid digital innovation and the imperatives of regulation, market order, and social stability. This book is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand governance in China’s digital economy."
