DESCRIPTION:How China performs in new-to-the-world innovations and what u
 nderpins its performance are barely addressed in the literature on innov
 ations. To develop a systematic account of which Chinese sectors are mos
 t innovative\,\n we analyse all patents granted by the European Patent O
 ffice to Chinese applicants since 1983. Controlling for the underlying p
 ropensity to patent in particular sectors\, we find that communication e
 quipment manufacturing and electrical machinery \nmanufacturing have bec
 ome increasingly innovative\, whereas machinery manufacturing and motor 
 vehicle manufacturing have seen their innovativeness decline. Perhaps so
 mewhat surprisingly\, manufacture of office machinery and computers \nha
 s remained below average for the entire period. 14 of the 30 sectors mai
 ntained an average level of innovativeness\, while 9 sectors showed sign
 ificant fluctuations. To illuminate why certain sectors have superior ne
 w-to-the-world innovation performance\,\n we also conduct econometric an
 alyses of data on 24 sectors between 2005 and 2007. In statistical terms
 \, we find that the new-to-the-world innovation performance of Chinese s
 ectors has an inverted U-shaped relationship with R&D personnel intensit
 y and business \nScience & Technology (S&T) self-funding intensity. It d
 isplays a Ushaped relationship with the domestic patent stock intensity 
 and government S&T funding intensity. \nSurprisingly\, a higher intensit
 y of technology renovation expenditure is associated with lower new-to-t
 he-world innovation performance. In-house R&D\, FDI\, export\, and firm-
 academic collaboration\, among many other plausible factors\, play no ro
 le.
