Indigenous innovation vs. teng-long huan-niao: policy conflicts in the development of China's flat panel industry

Ting Chen, Ying-Hua Ku · 2014 · Industrial and Corporate Change

Summary. China's central government pursued indigenous innovation policy to develop locally owned flat panel technologies through import substitution and trade protection. Meanwhile, local governments pursued teng-long huan-niao, an export-promotion policy encouraging competition and market entry. These conflicting approaches undermined each other: the top-down indigenous innovation policy forced local governments away from their incremental industrial development strategies, while misaligned incentives between upstream and downstream industries prevented technology leapfrogging goals from succeeding.
