This open access book provides a comprehensive review of technological innovation in China, focusing on some existing challenges and the debate on the role of public policies in promoting innovation. Technological innovation has become a vital factor in promoting high-quality development in China. By examining the current state of and challenges confronting China's technological innovation from both the supply side (talent and R&D) and the demand side (domestic and international demand), this book offers a view on how to enhance the efficiency of industry chain while ensuring security through innovation. Public policy often plays a crucial role in shaping and improving the national innovatio...
"An entirely original, illuminating work of critical scholarship. Wagner brings to bear a formidable familiarity with the Chinese practice of allusion, together with a good understanding of the issues confronting Mao, the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese nation since 1949. An important contribution to the study of contemporary Chinese political history."--Cyril Birch, University of California, Berkeley "An entirely original, illuminating work of critical scholarship.

It highlights the significance of transition in the making of Chinese culture and history, revises prevailing historical approaches in the study and research of China and develops and enhances existing theories or methodologies in this specific area of research. The wide diversity of contributions to the present volume ref...
This book presents groundbreaking research schemes that are shaping the future of big memory systems. Large-scale persistent and byte-addressable memory eliminates traditional storage bottlenecks by unifying memory and storage hierarchies. For engineers and architects building next-generation databases and distributed systems, these innovations deliver transformative performance: faster persistent writes through optimized flush mechanisms, the reduced contention via lock-free designs, and high throughput using GPU acceleration. Each chapter presents fully implemented architectures in real-world environments, from learned indexes to RDMA-powered transactions, together with deployable code pat...
