Abstract
This chapter examines how Leninist arrangements in the Chinese Party-state affected the formulation and implementation of the 1994 Automotive Industrial Policy (hereafter the ’94 AIP) — especially the foreign investment utilization measures. As Zysman has written:
The capacity of any state to implement particular policies and to have an impact on domestic economic outcomes is systematically affected by the patterned set of institutional relationships in the economy, the structured institutional setting in which it attempts to act. The specific capacities — distinctive competencies, difficulties, and weaknesses — of each network are thus the focus. The structure and operation of the state have a profound effect on its economic strategy both at home, abroad, and its strategy of linking the domestic to the external.1
