Abstract This paper examines the effects of technology gap between domestic and foreign high-tech enterprises on the knowledge spillovers of FDI by using panel data of 17 sub-sectors of the high-tech industries in China. It is found that R&D activities of foreign-invested enterprises cause knowledge spillovers to the domestic enterprises,and promote the innovation abilities of domestic enterprises to some degree. The independent R&D investments have been the most important factors of innovation abilities. Technology gap measured by the relative labor productivity has a non-linear effect on knowledge spillovers of FDI.
