- Abstract
Against the background of the development of global production network, the scientific evaluation of national industrial competitiveness needs to consider the global value chain characteristics of export commodities. Based on the revealed comparative advantage index of trade added value adjustment, this paper measures the international competitiveness of 18 sectors of China’s manufacturing industry in the 2000-2014, and compares with the world’s major economies. It finds that: China’s labor-intensive manufacturing industry is not “big but not strong” and remains an important pillar of China’s participation in international competition, but facing the fierce challenges of emerging economies, there is a downward trend in international rankings. The various sectors of capital-intensive manufacturing are not in the same level in terms of international competitive strength, development speed and international rankings, but the whole is becoming the main direction of the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry at present stage. The international competitiveness of the knowledge and technology-intensive sector is poor, except for the computer and optoelectronics industries, there are great differences with advanced economies, but it is gratifying that the international competitiveness of most sectors is showing a rising trend. Therefore, China’s manufacturing industry participation in the international division of Labor still needs to rely on labor-intensive industries, and continuously tamp the global competitiveness of capital-intensive sectors, cultivate knowledge and technology-intensive manufacturing competitiveness, in order to achieve the overall upgrading of China’s manufacturing international competitiveness and gorgeous transformation.
