Study on Interrelation Between Export Control by U.S. and Export Spillover Effects on China

Abstract

One of the aims of export control is to restrain the spillover of high and new technology. Though the United States has implemented severe export control policy in aerospace industry, nuclear industry and arms trade to China in the past few decades, China has got sustainable growth and notable development in the above fields. This paper studies the effects of export control, and found that the United States export control limited the spillover of American-Origin technology to China, but encouraged the spillover of Non-American-Origin technology and cooperation of the American competitors with China, most of all, promoted the independent and endogenous innovation in China. Finally, this paper puts forward that China did not threaten the status of U.S. and some other developed countries.
