Abstract

Major Chinese innovative technologies still depend on imported foreign core technologies. This dependence could affect sustaining growth in technological innovation for the Chinese Hi-Tech industry, which is one of the areas that has been most affected by the recent US-China trade conflict. The research explores if there is an impact of tension in trade scene on innovation in core technologies from the perspective of Hi-Tech industry experts in China. The method used a combination of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires addressed to experts and managers in the Chinese Hi-Tech industry. The statistical analysis used regression analysis of the experts’ answers where the findings propose a possible positive impact on endogenous innovation in the long term if it is combined with government policies that enhance innovation and increase R&D expenditures. The paper also highlighted the challenges that affect innovation in this industry and stresses the importance of the role of the entrepreneurial state that helped China to achieve breakthroughs in other domains. A case study of the semiconductor industry was analysed as a far-reaching endeavor, taking into account the scale of the challenges and the way forward for this significant core technology on which all of China’s Hi-Tech industries and exports depend.

Highlights

  • China is considered today to be the world leader in manufacturing industries, whereby (22% to 17.4%), China has overtaken the US in global manufacturing output. (MAPI, 2014)

  • The findings showed that friction in global trade correlates positively with innovation in core technology in the long term but negatively weaker in the short term

  • Includes many techniques for modeling and Regression was applied in Model 1, the dependent variable (DV) is analyzing the relationship between DV and one endogenous innovation and IVs of period of or more IVs

Summary

Introduction

China is considered today to be the world leader in manufacturing industries, whereby (22% to 17.4%), China has overtaken the US in global manufacturing output. (MAPI, 2014). This is a transformative effect that this strategy set development targets and brings agile and large-scale manufacturing to supporting measures in each manufacturing emerging markets, and helping to produce a sector, which is believed to help establish higher large variety of new products and services to manufacturing standards and industrial modes ever-expanding markets, where the criteria is (State Council, 2015) All this is expected to lead to a newly evolving manufacturing ecosystem that will dramatically change the conventionally perceived manufacturing system in China based on an open design and manufacturing platform that can positively impact innovation on a hitherto unprecedented scale in China (Butollo & Luthje 2017). These innovation this sector if China wants to accelerate industrial indicators position Shenzhen at the top of cities upgrading according to its ambitious ‘Created in playing an outstanding role in increasing China’ plan. If so, what exact impacts it will have the techniques of conversational interview via on innovation from the perspectives of experts in semi-structured interviews, in order to achieve this industry
