Abstract

Deep changes have taken place in China over the past ten years. The debate
increasingly revolves around its new dynamics of accumulation, even questioning under
which typology to frame the current Chinese model. In this paper, we propose to correlate
the Chinese national system of technological innovations, reemerged in the first years of this
century, disruptive technologies such as 5G internet, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, and
the emergence of new and superior forms of economic planning in that country, sowing the
seeds for what we call “New Projectment Economy”.
