Africa has not being able to build the required technological capability to compete in the global market. Africa is known to be stocked in poor infrastructural development especially in the sub-Saharan Africa. China has stepped up from just being the greatest trade partner to growing Africa’s local manufacturing beyond its provision of economic aid, investment in infrastructure and resource development. This study also took a case study approach to look at the case of Innoson vehicle manufacturing (IVM) and its learning mechanism of building technological capability. The study makes a critical analysis on claims; which paints IVM as a China automobile transplant in Nigeria. The paper concludes that China supportive efforts in Nigeria and some African countries will build up technological capabilities if only Africa can increase technological learning, efforts and R&D intensity
