Re: Chinese Daily Photos, Videos & News of 2012!!!
China started researching even before approaching the Germans. But the project is still very young (2 decades at the most compared to almost a century of research by the Germans) and mostly done by academically based organizations, rather than corporate based, like Siemens and Kawasaki. So initially it was almost like a joke. It was not until after the importation of the German system, after the Germans refused to transfer technology to China, the time Chinese government decided to do everything on their own.
Like any country (of course, apart from US, Germany and Japan, home of huge conglomerates), if the government doesn't want to do it, you can't make it even if you have the technology. When the government is behind you, you can do anything even if you have no technology.

What's the difference between an academic base research to a corporate research? Aren't they all done by scientist?

It's hard to turn academically based research into a product without coporate involvement, also large companies have research budgets that university funded professors can only dream of.
It's like how you don't approach a university to design a F-22, even though they might be academically involved.

corporate driven researches usually are projects that have already been partially done by academics. It is much more goal specific and finely outlined, whereas academically driven researches are more broad. Companies are most interested in making money and making a product is the first step to making money.
