摘要
The paper shows that China's outstanding export performance is directly linked to its integration in the international segmentation of production processes. China has engaged in production sharing with Asian countries and has specialized in assembly operations, which has allowed for a rapid diversification of its manufactured exports, from textiles and clothing to the electric and electronic industries. Assembly has considerably helped the technological upgrading of China's trade. Up to now, these outward-oriented and highly competitive industries, which are based on imported technology and foreign affiliates, seem to have had limited impact on local production and on the diffusion of technology in China's domestic industry.
