This article examines the impact of foreign-invested enterprises in the development of China’s automotive industry. It particularly focuses on the case of foreign direct investment (FDI) by a Korean firm, namely, the Hyundai Motor Company, in China. The Chinese government’s policy regarding the automotive industry allowed China’s domestic manufacturers to benefit from technology transfer, as foreign firms were not allowed to invest exclusively in China without a partnership. The contribution of Korea’s investment in China’s automotive industry would comprise the creation of job opportunities, technology transfer and the development of the automobile parts industry. Korea’s investment in the automotive industry of China has policy implications for China and other developing countries trying to expand their technology-intensive industries.

The article explores the recent debate regarding the rules of sovereignty and the need to acquire technology through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in relation to the Algerian Business Law. The article explores the 51/49 rule as an obligatory condition for direct international partnerhip projects, which requires a majority of Algerian ownership of at least 51 percent in all foreign direct investment projects (FDIP). The current research also investigates the impact of the 51/49 rule on the inflows of the foreign direct investments in Algeria as well as some other countries. The research concludes that there is no evidence that the amendment of the 51/49 rule would lead to technology transfer through the FDI.
