Carrie Gracie, explores whether China's great push to innovate is succeeding, or whether cultural factors hold China back from becoming a truly innovative power.

"Assembled in China" but designed in California, Japan or Europe: that's been the story of China for the past 30 years. But now China is pouring billions into innovation in a bid to produce the next breakthrough products and ideas. For Our World, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's China Editor, Carrie Gracie, explores whether China's great push to innovate is succeeding, or whether cultural factors hold China back from becoming a truly innovative power. She meets the startup innovators building their own 3D printers and robots and she visits a state-funded telescope whose cutting edge China-designed technology, enables it to see more of the sky than any other.
