China's New Normal: How China is Setting the Standard for Innovation

When you think of technology and innovation, you almost automatically think of American companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Tesla or Amazon. This association creates a huge blind spot. While the world is looking at what is happening in Silicon Valley, an innovation train is also rushing past in China. Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent are now well-known names of the fast and furious innovative China, but they are only the tip of the iceberg. Pascal Coppens takes the reader through eight industries. For each of these domains, he shows how China is creating a new normal that often still sounds like science fiction to us. The common thread through each of these stories is China's leading position in the development and implementation of artificial intelligence. China's New Normal offers a sensational insight into the new China and its potential for the rest of the world. It is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about disruption, personally or professionally, because they will undoubtedly be inspired by China in the coming years.
