Abstract
One important motivation of outward foreign direct investments from a less advanced country such as China is technology seeking. This chapter studies the development of China’s automotive industry in the past 60 years and uses the case of Geely’s acquisition of Volvo to demonstrate the increasing importance of technology-seeking related to OFDI.
