Observers around the world are impressed by the rapid growth of China's economy. While outside observers tend to focus on the success story of unprecedented growth policy documents and recent domestic debates in China have pointed to the need for a shift in the growth trajectory with stronger emphasis on <91>endogenous innovation<92> and <91>harmonious development<92>. This paper attempts to capture the current characteristics of China<92>s production and innovation system; how they were shaped by history and what major challenges they raise for the future. On the basis of the analysis the authors propose that it is possible to link together the two key concepts <91>endogenous innovation<92> and <91>harmonious development<92> by focusing innovation and development efforts in China on domestic needs, including social needs, rather than a one-sided focus on export-promotion and commodity production.
