Abstract

The IT industry is both fundamental and strategic to a nation's economy. It continues to play a critical role in the industry's upgrade and economic development in the foreseeable future. The future of the IT industry lies in cloud computing. In the recent years, many countries in the world are responding to cloud computing with much enthusiasm. The USA, Japan, and European countries have created strategies to develop cloud computing, aiming to become the leader of the new era. The Chinese government also sees cloud computing as a historic opportunity to rebuild competitive advantages and leapfrog Western countries. Against this backdrop, this chapter compares and contrasts the evolution of IT towards cloud computing between China and the Western countries, especially the USA.
