The emergence of homegrown assemblers strengthened fierce competition for all assemblers and resulted in the spreading of regional auto production networks with linkage to leading international automakers. This move integrated China＇s major regional production into the global chain and speeded up technology spillovers in the automobile industry. The paper reveals how the relationships between homegrown makers and joint ventures have been coordinated within the framework of local production networks, which turn out to have a highly localized production capacity. Furthermore, the results stand testimony for the fact that China＇s auto industry is becoming competitive through learning-by-doing. In the future outlook, the growing economy in China will be the most influential driving force to shift the global auto industry into China, which will turn out to be a super auto giant in the coming decade.展开更多
