Abstract
This paper discusses what kind of national innovation system (NIS) is built up in
China and whether the NIS is helpful for China to catch up. Our research
methodology is based on the combination of new growth theory with the NIS
theory and our involvement in OECD research project about Chinese NIS. We find that Chinese NIS is composed of two complementary systems, namely FDI-based
innovation system and indigenous innovation system. Both systems are
found to have a positive influence on attaining China's catching-up objective but
indigenous innovation system seems not as influential as FDI-based innovation
system for the moment. We suggest that Chinese NIS needs to be further shaped
for improving the absorption and innovation capability of domestic firms and for
strengthening university-enterprise-research institute interactions.
