It encourages the active participation of workers at all levels of the organization from the cleaner to the CEO. Innovation requires an open culture which values individualism.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is impossible in a system which is strictly hierarchical, which jails political dissidents &amp; artists &amp; where the Party has the ultimate say in everything. Innovation is impossible in a culture of fear.<\/p>\n<p>Unless the Chinese State Communist Party embraces democracy &amp; undergoes serious reform any efforts to stimulate Innovation will fail miserably.<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:chris@projectsguru.co.uk\">chris@projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectsguru.co.uk\">www.projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/projectsguru\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Follow projectsguru on Twitter\" src=\"http:\/\/twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com\/follow_bird_us-a.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"View Chris Robinson's profile on LinkedIn\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/img\/webpromo\/btn_viewmy_120x33.png\" width=\"120\" height=\"33\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Facebook Badge START --><a style=\"font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Projectsgurucouk\/179845275377478\" target=\"_TOP\">Projectsguru.co.uk<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Projectsguru.co.uk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Projectsgurucouk\/179845275377478\" target=\"_TOP\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/badge.facebook.com\/badge\/179845275377478.2524.1626262894.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Make your own badge!\" href=\"https:\/\/en-gb.facebook.com\/advertising\" target=\"_TOP\">Promote your Page too<\/a><!-- Facebook Badge END --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\namazon_ad_tag=\"amberhassoci-21\";  amazon_ad_width=\"728\";  amazon_ad_height=\"90\";  amazon_color_background=\"EFEFCC\";  amazon_color_border=\"07178B\";  amazon_color_logo=\"FFFFFF\";  amazon_color_link=\"A43907\";  amazon_ad_logo=\"hide\";  amazon_ad_title=\"projectsguru store\";\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.co.uk\/s\/asw.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar addthis_pub = '';\nvar addthis_language = 'en';var addthis_options = 'email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more';\n<\/script>\n<div class=\"addthis_container\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=20\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', 'https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amberhill.biz%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D805', 'Why+%23innovation+will+fail+in+China')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/200\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Button END -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chinese Government is pouring millions of yen into R&amp;D in an effort to stimulate innovation in industry to stimulate growth in it&#8217;s internal markets.
