Abstract: Design has already become the main focus of national strategy for acquiring industrial competitiveness and national advantage in competition. The policy for promoting design services has become an important part of national innovation policy among developed countries. National Design System (NDS) has been proposed by scholars from two aspects: One is main body related with design activities; the other is activities promoting design industry development. Based on the analysis on NDS with Finland and South Korea, the road map for the design system in China is described. Furthermore, the comparative analysis on NDS among Finland, South Korea, and China are conducted so as to explore the problem of main body missing and function deficiency of design system in China. Finally, the implications and policy suggestion are discussed.

Key words: NDS, design education, design support, design promotion, design policy
