"The origins of this book were in a workshop held in Beijing in May 2006, sponsored by the China Institute for Science and Technology Policy (CISTP) of Tsinghua University, Beijing; the Industrial Technology Resarch Institute (ITRI), Hsinchu; and the Administrative Committee of Zhongguancun Science Park, Beijing. Later workshops that developed some of these themes were held at Stanford University in November 2006 and in Taipei in September 2007"--Preface.
