Abstract
Summary form only given. This paper first reviews the recent literature on science and technology in China. Historical evidence is then adduced to support the argument. Observations are offered on the political constraints impeding technology development in present-day China. It is argued that, despite the desire for change, China has inherited a legacy of mistrust towards the import of technology particularly within its influential political organizations. This contradiction impedes and distorts technology development at the enterprise level. This paper sets the innovation processes in Chinese companies within its wider political-economic context, enabling technology suppliers to China to better understand the unique features underlying technology development in China.
