This paper examines the role of the foreign ownership structure in stimulating technology, upgrading skills, and export in Chinese manufacturing firms that were taken over by foreign owners. The results indicate that there are strong effects on export activity post-acquisition for all types of ownership share. It also finds that firms that are taken over with a less than 100 percent foreign ownership share experience increases in new product development and R&D upgrading.
