Abstract
The development of the SP industry has been explored in many fields and at various levels in China. The construction of SP resources in China has been continuously advanced, as evidenced by expanded types of SP work with both increased quantity and enhanced quality. The extensive application of new media technologies supported by the internet has created new demands for the SP industry. Seizing this important opportunity, China has taken multiple measures to promote the development of the new media SP industry. The successful holding of the China (Wuhu) Popular Science Products Expo (Wuhu SP Expo) in 2004 benefited from the development of the country’s economy and technology, progress in S&T and the support of various policy incentives. The improvement in the public awareness of SP products provided an important social foundation for the expo. Following the Wuhu SP Expo, the first Shanghai International Popular Science Products Expo (Shanghai SP Expo) was held at the Shanghai Exhibition Center in 2014. In order to facilitate the development of SP industry clusters, the China (Wuhu) Science Popularization Industry Park (Wuhu SP Industry Park) was launched in 2010. SP industry parks have played a leading and exemplary role in the development of the SP industry. Some S&T companies have committed themselves to the R&D of SP products. Through collaboration with colleges and universities, they have designed some classic SP exhibits that have triggered much interest in society. By pooling resources from various quarters, adopting the strategy of public–private partnerships and the co-regulation of government and market and encouraging more enterprises, universities and scientific research institutes to join the research, development and production of SP products, we can expect a period of rapid development of the SP industry.
