How will China's car-makers benefit from the research and development centres being set up in China by their foreign partners in the luxury car field? The key issue for the Chinese companies is the chance of learning the core technologies of their foreign partners by participating in their research and development activities. In the case of the research and development centre wholly funded by Audi, its Chinese partner First Auto Works (FAW) has very low expectations, nothing more than to "involve FAW-VW in something like role playing", which will enable its Chinese research and development staff to learn something, with the purpose of buiMing up its personnel reserves and ultimately enhance its own brand.
