Abstract

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the development of China’s high-tech industry, not only because it reflects China’s domestic achievement in transforming its industrial structure, but also because it represents a challenge, from a global perspective, to the preeminence of the technological competitiveness of developed countries (Chen and Shi 2005; Gilboy 2004; Jefferson 2005; Liu and Buck 2007). However, existing studies largely concentrate on describing and analyzing the temporal dynamics of China’s high-tech industry against a global competition scenario rather than drilling down and exploring more details of the issue from a complementary point of view (OECD 2007, 2008). As a result, apart from a convinced impression that China’s production and R&D investment is soaring in high-tech industry, very little is known about the spatial pattern of China’s high-tech industry, the underlying factors that drive the formation and evolution of this pattern, its profound socioeconomic influences on crucial issues like regional competitiveness and disparity, and their implications for policymaking. The objective of this paper, in response, is to address the gap in studies on China’s high-tech industry from a spatial perspective.
