The book addresses five areas: summary explanations for China’s outward FDI activities offered by current theories of GVC and outward FDI; rationally understand China’s position in GVC and characteristics of China’s outward FDI in this new era; build and discuss theoretical models behind technology acquisition and upgrading in value chains through outward FDI; examine the impact of outward FDI on the domestic technologic progress; provide suggestions on China’s outward FDI strategies from the perspective of GVC based on theoretical and empirical analyses.
