Abstract
This study shows that the two systems have similar distributions of key sectors, including the cores, i.e. machinery and equipment, electronic parts and components, and the sources, i.e. chemicals and basic metals, of innovation flows. However, significant differences also exist. For example, the Taiwanese system is characterized by higher degrees of systemic connection and hierarchy, while the Chinese system has looser density and less centralization. Additionally, the Taiwanese system appears capable of more efficient innovation diffusion among vertically related industries than the Chinese system due to the former containing more effective clusters. Finally, China's technological concentration is centered on heavy industry, while Taiwan is focused on high-tech industry.
