China has become one of leading technology exporter mainly in all areas, but its presence has been felt quite sharp in low-carbon technologies also. How has this happen does china has overlooked the issue of Intellectual Property Rights or has he progressed slowly. please help me with articles and books that you can suggest.
The question is whether China has caught up *because* it has ignored IPR and allowed the theft of intellectual property from foreign firms in particular, or *despite* that. Evidence from previous emerging countries such as Japan and South Korea implies that countries become more protective of IP either because of a cultural pre-disposition (Weberian view) or when they are developing enough of it that a self-interested domestic constituency arises. China seems to have reached the latter point.
For more on ways in which China may or may not be representative of other emerging economies, allow me to suggest this reading: Martin, X., & Li, C. 2015. What do we know about state-owned emerging-economy firms, and how? Evaluating literature about inward and outward multinational activities. In L. Tihanyi, E. R. Banalieva, T. M. Devinney, & T. Pedersen (Eds.), Advances in International Management, Vol. 28: 403-439. Bingley, U.K.: Emerald.
Dear Martin,
Very kindful Thanks for your reply. I had been trying to get that article but my institution does not have access to it. Will you please suggest me more readings related to rise of China's industry mainly renewable energy. What has been its approach to counter domestic issue and overcome the issue of Intellectual property Rights.
The US embassy in Beijing set up an air quality monitor and posted the results, thereby shaming China into accepting that it has an emissions problem. China's efforts in addressing this through innovation have been astounding. Have a look at their foreign patent filings, eg in the EPO.
