The phenomenon of these autonomous Chinese Automakers is drawing increasing attention not only from academia but also from business and government circles. This paper attempts to clarify the relationship between emergence of ICAMs and International Technology Transfer. Many scholars indicate the use of outside supplies (of engines and other key-parts), as a sole reason for high-speed growth of ICAMs. However, the internal approach, at a level of how companies act, is also necessary to outline all the reasons and factors that might contribute to the process. This paper, based on organizational view, starts from historical perspective and clarifies the internal dynamics of the ICAMs.

Car sales jumped 20 percent, nearly twice the rate of increase in 2015. Much of this vigorous expansion resulted from the country’s temporary suspension of sales taxes for cars with small engines.

However, sales growth eventually picked up again over the course of the year. While the recent resurgence in sales represents one of the most dramatic shifts in China’s automotive market, a variety of other factors are at play that will drive even more profound changes in the industry over the coming years. Perhaps the biggest of these changes involves the transformation taking place among car buyers.

    Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: The Social Construction of Success Xiaolan Qiu Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science and Technology Studies Timothy W. Luke (Chair) Daniel Breslau Ellsworth Fuhrman Saul Halfon February 13, 2012 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Volkswagen, Shanghai-Volkswagen, technology policy, sociology of technology, China Volkswagen Cars, Politics, and Culture in the Post-1978 China: The Social Construction of Success Xiaolan Qiu ABSTRACT Volkswagen (VW) is one of the first foreign carmakers that made direct investments in China after 1978. From its entry in the Chinese market to the year of 2009, VW enjoyed popularity, high reputation, and undisputed leadership in the Chinese passenger car market, and achieved a great commercial success. Most previous accounts attribute VW’s success in China to VW’s wise business operation or Chinese government’s support. This study guided by the methods and theories of technology studies, especially the actor- network theory (ANT), takes into account technical, socioeconomic, political, or cultural factors simultaneously. By selecting one of VW’s successful joint ventures with China – Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) – as a case to do in-depth investigation, it examines the relationship between heterogeneous actors (both humans and nonhumans) and the pathways of SVW development, and has found that all of the SVW establishment, production, marketing, and development were shaped by a range of diverse social and material actors, including the central planners, local government, VW, local suppliers, Chinese consumers, and VW cars, and depended on Chinese particular political and cultural context; VW’s success in China presents a story of co-construction of power and actor-networks.

The brand plans to achieve total sales of 400,000 units this year, double its 2020 figure. Outlook and implications Owing to a lack of models targeting mass-market consumers, Hongqi has lost its relevance in the passenger vehicle market in the past decade. FAW, however, is experiencing increasing demand for Hongqi's recent models thanks to a fresh design, a wider product range catering to private-market car buyers, and more accessible pricing compared with previous Hongqi offerings.

Electric Vehicles in China.” Regulatory Policy Program Working Paper RPP-2015-07. Cambridge, MA: Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University. Comments may be directed to the authors. REGULATORY POLICY PROGRAM The Regulatory Policy Program at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government serves as a catalyst and clearinghouse for the study of regulation across Harvard University. The program's objectives are to cross-pollinate research, spark new lines of inquiry, and increase the connection between theory and practice. Through seminars and symposia, working papers, and new media, RPP explores themes that cut across regulation in its various domains: market failures and the public policy case for government regulation; the efficacy and efficiency of various regulatory instruments; and the most effective ways to foster transparent and participatory regulatory processes. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not imply endorsement by the Regulatory Policy Program, the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, Harvard Kennedy School, or Harvard University.

The formation of Century Dragon is closely linked with the Hong Kong Red Flag Club, a club dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Chinese made Hongqi (Red Flag) Limousines. Mr. York Wong, our founder as well as Chairman of the Hong Kong Red Flag Club, is very passionate about the automobiles of China, namely the Hongqi Limousines. During his many visits to China, he realized that there is a lack of high quality replicas of these Classic Cars of China. He wanted to create a series of high precision and high quality model cars to showcase the achievements of the automobile industry in China, while at the same time, let the world know about these wonderful Classic Cars of China. Since our establishment in 2003, we have been creating high precision die cast and resin replica vehicles in our own manufacturing facilities in China. We currently produce our own lines of products under the brand names of Century Dragon and Dorlop. The product line of Century Dragon includes replicas of the Hongqi Limousines, Jiefang Military Trucks, and Changjiang Motorcycles along with other famous Classic Cars of China.
