The effectiveness of China’s institutional system and policy tools in achieving technological sovereignty (TS) is evident in specific examples. The article analyzes the most significant achievements in the fundamental industries of the new technological order (TO): microelectronics, 5G, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, supercomputers, robotics, and new materials. China has successfully narrowed the gap with global leaders and achieved global leadership in several sectors (5G, robotics), which is crucial for national security and competitiveness.

The article analyzes China’s model for achieving technological sovereignty, traces its historical evolution, describes its institutional system, outlines the key state governance tools used in this process, and provides concrete examples of outcomes achieved. Understanding China’s experience in achieving technological sovereignty through instruments and mechanisms of strategic state governance is of great relevance for implementing similar Russian plans and aligning the EAEU with China’s global Belt and Road Initiative. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the institutional mechanism of the guided transition to a new technological paradigm using China as a case study, as well as in systematizing the tools of strategic state governance that enable the reproduction of technological sovereignty. The methodological basis of the study is an institutional evolutionary analysis within the framework of technological paradigm shift theory.
