China's Approach to Technology Acquisition: Part 1. The Aircraft Industry

Abstract

This is Part I of a three-part study to examine how effectively the People's Republic of China utilizes the great reservoir of technology that is potentially available to it from the most advanced industrial countries. The report deals with the Chinese aircraft industry. It traces the successive stages of the industry's evolution and delineates the foreign contribution to its technological growth. The study illuminates China's technology acquisition strategy: How that strategy evolved over the past twenty-odd years; how it is linked to the process of technology diffusion within China; and how China's present and future rate of high-technology advance is likely to depend upon outside contributions.
