In China, this chain is continuous. A cosmology built on relation and balance shapes the design of institutions; those institutions create the instruments and incentives that pull new technologies into use; and the results appear not as isolated breakthroughs but as systems that scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing China as the central case, the book traces this pattern from the Han Dynasty’s invention of paper to today’s AI systems and the Digital Yuan. The through-line is governance—not as bureaucracy, but as a framework that coordinates actors, aligns purpose, and accelerates diffusion. What matters most are the joints: where philosophy becomes policy, where policy becomes implementation, and where implementation becomes national capability. This is the I⁵ model in practice—ideas, institutions, instruments, infrastructure, impact—each layer shaping and reinforcing the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than treating China’s approach as an exception or as ideology, the book examines it as a structured method with deep historical roots and clear strategic logic. It shows how China uses institutional rivalry, state-backed demand creation, and long-horizon coordination to shorten development cycles and turn emergent technologies into societal systems—whether in the first imperial bureaucracy or in contemporary fields like artificial intelligence and digital finance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analysis is both historical and forward-looking. It explains how governance can create demand for technologies that do not yet have markets, why China’s shifts between outward learning and self-reliance follow geopolitical necessity, and what these patterns reveal about the coming contests around AI, the Digital Yuan, and the wider digital economy. The lessons are practical: technological power is built at the interfaces, and those who can shape the joints between ideas and action will set the terms of global competition in the years ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-04-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819570553\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-95-7056-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 235\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589645099148,"sku":"9789819570553","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819570553.jpg?v=1778003087","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819570553","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
