mainland China vs. The world Whose technology is it? Executive summary China, the country with incredible fast-growing upper of development, now is becoming more attractive to Western investiture companies than ever. China political sympathiess know that and they try to harbor advantage over that point by forcing the multinational companies to sh be technology in the exchange of futurity investing opportunities. This strategy has created a lot of argument and discontent in the midst of China government and irrelevant companies. China government recognized the importance of technologies and investment in R&D in the bear upon of becoming the worlds top five economies.They developed three-pronged plans to solve this problem, mainly by investing in certain industries, by learning and generating economics scale, and by receiving technologies from foreign partners. Chinese government withal know that it is possible to lose their foreign partners investment to other emerging countr ies while they still look much on technology of Western and developed countries( Japan, Korea). Many strategies are processed by government to limit the control of the foreign companies over the domestic market and to support their own players.For instance, multinational companies only could hold 49% of the equity stake of new company or 70% of each system had to be locally. In the software industries, government decreases tax for domestic companies, they require the foreign software has to develop their source and requires the software version for China. Local banks even give loans with below-market rate to domestic companies. still close to certain industries of China are still unable to compete with strong and competitive foreign companies. The conflicts between China and the U. S. pretend been raised due to Chinas policies.The author menti oned that the main reason is because of the canonic difference of policy and culture China focuses on saving for future and U. S. car es about current consumptions. However in the bright side both of them are pragmatic, operate at the top and both of them lack to enhance the trade flow between two countries. Among the interaction between China and the U. S. the multinational companies have to find their own ways to adjust and overcome that tension. For most foreign companies that want to succeed in China market, teaming up the Chinese executive and making themselves indispensible to the Chinese government is essential.Once they have something that China wants and no one else has, they are able to win the bargain with Chinese government. However it is rare exception, mostly they are still learning to protect their intellectual property in China. Personal arguments The article brought up the actually interesting topic of China and its role in global economy in the 21st century. It helps us to understand how China government is heading for and how they use their policies to fight in the global market.If China succe eds in these policies to promote the high-technology, we would likely to see a boom technological boom in some eld since the market became more competitive, both China and developed countries would be pressed to gain new substructure with faster speed or else they would be able to lose the market share to their competitors. After all, the one who get benefits most is consumers because now we can easily purchase high-tech products with affordable price, it changed the high-tech products from niche product to become mass product.Besides, it looks like Chinese government is trying to learn the lesson from Japan in the past. After the post-war, Japan was successful in buying technology from the west. It started developing high- tech products and production facilities. Lastly, from Chinas point of view, Chinas current policy is very helpful to meet the pressing requirement of development. However for the long-term, Chinese government need to gain their own resource of technology and i nnovation. other than in some situation they will lose in bargaining with their foreign partners because they can always shift to other emerging countries.
