To Be Friends, Not Competitors: A Story Different from Tesla Driving the Chinese Automobile Industry
这篇访谈聚焦中国电动汽车行业,探讨中国汽车制造商如何通过合作而非竞争实现创新,对研究中国产业政策与制造业升级的学者有参考价值。
This interview contributes to the conversation around the automobile industry by focusing on the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) sector. Both of the discussants’ research interests encompass China's industrial competitiveness, innovation, science and technology policy, and the evolution of Chinese manufacturing industries. Professor Feng Lu, the interviewee, has conducted continuous and substantial fieldwork tracing the development of the Chinese automobile industry. He was one of the first experts to urge the Chinese government to help local automobile manufacturers develop innovation capabilities and proprietary products. Further, his 2005 book, The Policy Choice to Develop China's Automobile Industry with Independent Intellectual Property Rights , profoundly influenced the national policy transition toward emphasizing in-house innovation.
