  • Chapter 2 China's Cars and Parts
    Chapter 2 China’s cars and parts: development of an industry and strategic focus on Europe Peter Pawlicki and Siqi Luo 1. Introduction Initially, Chinese investments – across all industries in Europe – especially acquisitions of European companies were discussed in a relatively negative way. Politicians, trade unionists and workers, as well as industry representatives feared the sell-off and the subsequent rapid drainage of industrial capabilities – both manufacturing and R&D expertise – and with this a loss of jobs. However, with time, coverage of Chinese investments has changed due to good experiences with the new investors, as well as the sheer number of investments. Europe saw the first major wave of Chinese investments right after the financial crisis in 2008–2009 driven by the low share prices of European companies and general economic decline. However, Chinese investments worldwide as well as in Europe have not declined since, but have been growing and their strategic character strengthening. Chinese investors acquiring European companies are neither new nor exceptional anymore and acquired companies have already gained some experience with Chinese investors. The European automotive industry remains one of the most important investment targets for Chinese companies. As in Europe the automotive industry in China is one of the major pillars of its industry and its recent industrial upgrading dynamics. Many of China’s central industrial policy strategies – Sino-foreign joint ventures and trading market for technologies – have been established with the aim of developing an indigenous car industry with Chinese car OEMs. These instruments have also been transferred to other industries, such as telecommunications equipment.

  • China's Developing Auto Industry: an Opportunity for United States Investment - and Challenge for China's New Foreign Investment Laws
    ARTICLES CHINA'S DEVELOPING AUTO INDUSTRY: AN OPPORTUNITY FOR UNITED STATES INVESTMENT - AND CHALLENGE FOR CHINA'S NEW FOREIGN INVESTMENT LAWS W. GARY VAUSE* 1. PROFILE OF CHINA'S AUTO INDUSTRY AS AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY 1.1 Overview of the Market Potential The dawning of the "Age of the Pacific" caught many U.S. indus- tries still napping, and the U.S. auto industry was among the most somnolent. The rapid ascension and now legendary success of Japahese auto manufacturers not only carved out a large share of the U.S. do- mestic market, but also virtually excluded U.S. automakers from ex- porting substantial numbers of vehicles to the growing Pacific Basin market.' Following closely on the heels of the Japanese producers are the "little tigers" of Asia, such as South Korea, which now has its own highly successful Hyundai automobiles invading the U.S. market. One of the most recent related developments has been the exten- sive investment by capital-rich Japanese companies in the United States, including investment in the domestic U.S. auto industry.2 Japa- nese companies in the United States now employ nearly 250,000 Amer- icans, and it is estimated that they will employ more than one million in the next decade.' The prospects for the U.S. automobile industry's * Professor of Law, Stetson University College of Law. The declining value of the dollar, coupled with efforts of Japanese companies to redress the trade imbalance, may result in an increase of U.S. exports to the region in the near future. For example, GM anticipates exporting 4,000 cars to Japan in 1988, an increase from the 3,000 planned for 1987.
