Abstract
Automobile groups in China have two survival modes: joint venture with multinational corporations or independent development. Based on the three-stage dynamic game model, this paper studies the relationship between the technology diffusion from the transnational automobile group in the process of joint venture and the technology innovation and the R&D strategies of Chinese and foreign sides, as well as how technology diffusion can influence the competition between domestic brands and joint venture brands and the development of domestic enterprises independent innovation? The model reveals the delicate relationship between technology diffusion, innovation performance and technology development of the automotive industry. The conclusions drawn can be well supported by what is happening in the real world, they can develop and supplement the research of international technology diffusion and provide reference for the formulation of automotive industry policies and the developmental strategies of automobile enterprises.

Notes
- 1.
Completely Knocked Down, which means domestic assembly of foreign parts.

R&D of the foreign side mainly refers to the R&D investments that are input on production lines, related equipment and a range of car models that specifically import to the Chinese market.
- 3.
The greater the p, the higher of R&D costs, the lower the innovation performance.
