Abstract: The lack of knowledge, both technological and institutional, has been and continues to be, China’s main constraint during its transition from a planned economy to a market economy. Using illustrative examples, this article identifies two main sources of knowledge. The Shenzhen model opens a platform to acquire knowledge from abroad; the Wenzhou model reveals mechanisms by which knowledge is created internally. The two models represent different ways of regional experimentation, a unique method for knowledge creation and diffusion during China’s economic transition.
