Since the 1990s, the emphasis on the economic significance of culture and creativity by policy makers, urban planners and researchers has contributed to the global development of (as well as debate on) the creative economy. This movement has particularly taken off in China alongside the transition from the ‘Made in China’ campaign to the ‘Created in China’ campaign. In recent years, the focus of creative industries development in China has shifted from the convergence of culture and technology, and now also includes the convergence of culture, creativity and design with related industries, covering almost all of the sectors of the national economy. Meanwhile, a movement of ‘mass entrepreneurship and innovation’ is being promoted by redefining the international maker culture. In this context, the article investigates the kinship between the maker movement and the creative economy from the perspectives of communities, spaces, activities, policies and innovation, and whether these conjure up a transition from ‘Created in China’ to ‘Intelligent Manufacturing in China’. And for the creative economy, this raises the question: is it turning to a technological future?
