Abstract

Science and technology have played a unique and pivotal part in the normalization of relations between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the industrialized nations. In many respects, the expansion of scientific cooperation, educational exchanges, and industrial technology transfer has been symbolic of the overall progress in the evolving Chinese political relationship with the West and Japan. Within the broad context of these three areas, the issue of technology transfer has taken particular significance, especially as Beijing has affirmed its commitment to maintain an open door to the outside world and to secure foreign technology and capital to support its economic modernization. For Chinese as well as Western and Japanese leaders, technology transfer seems to present some critical challenges and significant opportunities. And, based on the heightened attention given to technology transfer during the recent several years, it is clear that technology-related issues will continue to occupy a central position the agenda of present and future leaders in China and their counterparts in the US, Western Europe and Japan.
