Based on the 2009\u20132017 provincial panel data from China, this article used the modified projection pursuit model to measure the environmental technology innovation capabilities of various regions. Moreover, this article empirically investigates the threshold effect of outward foreign direct investment on China\u2019s environmental technology innovation under different intellectual property protection levels. The results are as follows. First, the environmental technology innovation capabilities of China\u2019s regions vary significantly, showing an \u201ceast\u2010middle\u2010west\u201d gradient decline trend similar to levels of economic development. Second, outward foreign direct investment has a significant reverse environmental technology innovation effect, but this effect has complex nonlinear characteristics. Third, in the process of outward foreign direct investment affecting environmental technology innovation, intellectual property protection has a significant double threshold effect. As the level of intellectual property protection continues to cross the threshold value, the effect direction of outward foreign direct investment on environmental technology innovation undergoes a sudden change from inhibition to promotion. However, when intellectual property protection is too high, the promotion effect is relatively limited. This paper provides some reference points and insights that should aid in establishing a scientific intellectual property protection system and raising the level of environmental technology innovation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/8389560","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,13]],"date-time":"2021-03-13T18:35:05Z","timestamp":1615660505000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Does China\u2019s OFDI Successfully Promote Environmental Technology Innovation?"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7703-5365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bing","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ibusrev.2012.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/grow.12346"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17031060"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","first-page":"69","article-title":"Human capital, R&D input and OFDI\u2019s reverse technology spillovers","volume":"10","author":"Li M.","year":"2010","journal-title":"World Economy Study"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","first-page":"69","article-title":"OFDI, reverse technology spillovers and domestic innovation abilities","author":"Sha W.
