Sommario/riassunto

With the rise of China's information and communications technology (ICT) sector, a number of Chinese high-tech firms are approaching transnational stages and shifting the center of gravity in global ICT markets. In the meantime, China's digital economy has raised the debate with regard to the nature and direction of its developmental model. This text investigates Huawei Technologies - China's most competitive high-tech company - as a microcosm of the rise of China's corporate power and its evolving digital economy.
