From foreign technology dependence towards greater innovation autonomy: China's integration into the information and communications technology (ICT) global value chain (GVC)

摘要

China's integration into the information and communications technology global value chain has taken place as global technology corporations outsourced and offshored an increasing range of functions, including manufacturing, assembly, and to some extent, innovation to more competitive regions within China. Initially disappointed with low levels of technology transfer from foreign companies, China has sought to achieve greater levels of technology autonomy through more aggressive efforts in recent years to push for indigenous innovation by leveraging market access. China has achieved some limited success in establishing domestic brands but continues to lack significant core technology in critical areas such as semiconductors.%随着全球技术公司将越来越多的职能外包给中国境内更有竞争力的地区，包括制造、组装甚至创新，中国开始融入信息和通讯技术的全球价值链。起初，由于不满足于外国公司低水平的技术转移，中国近些年试图通过更积极的努力来实现更高水平的技术自主，力争通过运作市场准入推动本土创新。中国已经成功地建立起一些国内品牌,但在关键领域仍缺少重要的核心技术,比如半导体技术。
