本文讨论了外商在大陆的R&D投资与中国自主创新的相互关系,及如何实现内外资R&D支出的平衡。近年来,中国的R&D投入迅速增长,科技实力不断增强。同时,随着跨国公司R&D全球化的迅猛发展,外资在中国的R&D投资影响日益扩大,研发经费占中国企业研发投入的比重达27%。在一些科技实力较强的国家,这一水平基本在30%左右。而科技实力最强大的美国和日本,这一比值更低,分别不超过15%和5%。因此,外资R&D的快速发展对中国自主创新战略提出了严峻挑战。本文在分析了近年来科技创新与外资R&D发展背景的基础上,着重讨论外资R&D在中国创新体系中的地位和作用,并封平衡外资与本土创新提出了政策建议。
The relationship between foreign R&D investment and development of China's indigenous innovation and how to keep the balance of foreign and domestic R&D expenditure are discussed in this paper. In recent years, China's gross expenditure on R&D has grown steadily and the power of science and technology expanded rapidly. On the other hand, with globalization of MNCs R&D, foreign enterprises are becoming increasingly important to China's R&D expenditure. Currently, the ratio of foreign R&D funds to domestic R&D funds is 27%. In some countries with enormous technological potential, the ratio is about 30%. And in US and Japan, the ratios are less than 15% and 5% respectively. Therefore, the fast development of foreign R&D gives serious challenge to Chinese indigenous innovation strategy. Based on an introduction to the background of the indigenous innovation and foreign R&D activities in China in recent years, the position and role of foreign R&D in Chinese innovation system is discussed and some policy advices on how to balance Chinese domestic R&D and foreign R&D expenditure are put forward in this paper.
