"China's companies are extremely efficient at creating new versions of technologies and products shortly after they are invented and marketed elsewhere in the world. This is product innovation," says Dan Breznitz, Associate Professor in the Samn Nunn School of International Affairs, discussing his book Run of the Red Queen which he co-authored with Michael Murphree, an International Affairs PhD student. Run of the Red Queen addresses China's innovation drive. Murphree adds, "Innovation is not just invention; it's the whole array of moving and improving inventions."
