Abstract: Bilateral policies and rising labour costs have driven the relocation of automotive parts production from Taiwan to China. Using a company-level survey of 72 Taiwanese automobile parts suppliers in 2004–05, this contribution identified significant levels of technology transfer from Taiwanese automobile parts suppliers to Chinese firms in China. The technical division of labour among Taiwanese supplier-linked Chinese automotive assemblers is that key advanced technology is drawn from Japan which is then fused with Taiwanese conventional body parts technology to meet Chinese and Taiwanese joint-venture assembly demands.
