| Summary: | This article explores China's strategic approach to development, known as Lane-
Change Overtaking (Huandao Chaoche), which emphasizes innovation, differentiation,
and systemic coordination to bypass traditional development stages. Using a qualitative,
interpretive approach based on multiple case studies from key sectors—including electric
vehicles, artificial intelligence, and commercial drones—this study analyzes how China
has successfully circumvented conventional development paths through strategic
innovation and coordination. The research employs thematic content analysis of
secondary data drawn from scholarly literature, official policy documents, industry reports,
and credible news sources, guided by theories of latecomer advantage, disruptive
innovation, and ecosystem building. This strategy involves identifying new tracks and
building sufficient driving force to achieve leadership, as exemplified by China's success
in the electric vehicle industry and its surge in patent applications. The core principles of
Lane-Change Overtaking include aligning internal development needs with global trends,
breaking path dependence, fostering disruptive innovation, and building robust
ecosystems. The lessons derived from China's experiences offer valuable insights for
developing nations, particularly Muslim countries, seeking to accelerate progress and
enhance their global competitiveness through strategic adaptation of these principles to
their unique socio-economic contexts. |
