Technology Transfer And Technology Improvement In Chinese Car Industry

As five years has pasted since China joining WTO, the domestic Market has been further opened. With the sound and fast developed economy and the improvement of the living standards, the auto industry develops rapidly; especially the speed of development of the car industry has attracted the attention of the transnational manufacturer of automobile, while we have to realize that car industry exist many problems.

Unfortunately, it has not been realized. The technological transformation from the MNS has not brought substantive improvement our technology, on the contrary, it make us more and more dependent on technological transformation, thus falling into a Strange circle of "importing---localization-- -importing again". For our car industry starts relatively later, and the technology is comparatively backward,it is correct to cooperating with foreign technology. What should be clear is how we do it. How to appraise the localization of car; How much we depend on the technology from the foreign enterprises. All these questions are what we meet while we face to the technology transformation of MNCs.In this article, we expect to find out the existing problems in innovating car technology by analyzing the R&D input from MNS, innovating evaluative track of Chinese car industry, and internationally comparison in terms of R&D...
