In it, Rogers and his co-authors discuss how a “stranglehold” of key technologies poses a problem to the sustainable development of China’s economy and society. They define said stranglehold as a “non-self-controllable problem of a knowledge cluster formed by a ‘package’ of technologies in the industrial chain of a certain field.” The authors then theorize different approaches to the field of knowledge innovation that could help solve this problem.

“The existing knowledge innovation research in China is still based on the triple-helix (university-enterprise-government) framework, which cannot reflect the parallel coexistence and co-evolution characteristics of diversified subjects, diversified paths, and diversified knowledge innovation modes in the new era,” they write. “Thus, it fails to find an integrated view or an appropriate framework when researchers look into the stranglehold challenge.”
