HIDEAKI TAKAHASHI, DEPUTY CHAIRMAN GUANGZHOU JAPANESE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY "Nowadays, China's innovation industry is thriving. There is a Chinese city called Shenzhen in Guangdong province, where innovation projects are coming up every day. Looking back at history, Japan formerly followed a similar path, starting from innovation to manufacturing. I believe that by combining the advantages of China and Japan, we can create brand new industries. Innovation requires a market, manufacturing and raw materials. I believe that Japan and China must collaborate closely in this sector."
