The scale of China's innovation ambitions inspires worldwide commentary, much of it poorly informed. Focusing on electricity, telecommunication and semiconductors, this book offers a richly detailed account of China's innovation efforts. Massive application of human, policy and financial resources shows great promise, but institutional obstacles, conflicting objectives, ill-advised policies and Soviet-era legacies inject inefficiencies, resulting in a complex mosaic of success and failure in both technical and commercial dimensions. State Grid leads the world in high-voltage power transmission, while domestic semiconductors lag behind the international frontier. Electricity and telecom providers record impressive technical advances, but overinvestment and inefficient operation contribute to high costs and prices. Nuclear power combines technical excellence with commercial weakness. Cost reduction rather than new technology underpins commercial success in solar materials. The book's gra

★ 被遺忘的影像寶庫，揭開法國科學與工業創新的視覺歷史★ 從戰爭研究到日常生活，見證影像如何改變人類世界★ 科學×設計×影像，一部跨越時代的視覺文化之書1916年至1939年間，法國在國家政策推動下，大量生產科學與工業研究相關的影像與影片。這些長期被忽視的資料，不只是紀錄，更是見證創新歷程的珍貴視窗。本書帶領讀者回到那個動盪又充滿實驗精神的年代，從戰爭與國防需求出發，逐步轉向民生與日常生活，描繪出一段影像與科技交織的歷史。那些看似冷靜理性的紀錄影像，卻同時蘊含驚人的美學張力，也揭示了研究制度如何逐步被建立與規範。當攝影與影像被用於展示、教育與傳播，甚至成為知識的載體，人類對世界的理解也隨之改變。本書不僅回顧一段歷史，更讓我們重新思考：影像如何塑造我們所認知的「真實」。Between 1916 and 1939 thousands of films and photographs were produced in France, in line with the national policy encouraging scientific and industrial research. These largely unknown images stand as visual witnesses to twenty years of invention and research. Their analog archives trace through the history of innovation, anchored at first in war and national defence, before shifting towards civilian and domestic life.This history, interlaced with design, lies at the crossroads of science, technology and industry. The images also tell a story that is still unfolding today, that of the institutionalisation of research. From the very beginning a systematic
