中国在东亚分工中的地位——基于制成品出口数据的衡量

China′s Status in the Division of Labor in East Asia:A Measurement based on the Data of Manufactured Exports

本文利用东亚各国(或地区)的制成品出口数据,从出口整体技术水平和技术结构两个角度考察了中国在东亚分工中地位。所有证据表明,中国在东亚分工中的位置明显提高,现在大致介于东盟各国和"亚洲四小龙"之间,日本、"亚洲四小龙"、东盟各国和中国依次发展的阵形被打乱,"雁行"模式趋于解体。但是,中国出口制成品的整体技术和结构水平与新加坡和韩国相比尚有较大差距,更是远低于日本的水平,中国已经成为日本竞争对手的说法还很难成立。

Using the data of the manufactured exports of East Asian countries (or regions), this article inspects China′s status in the division of labor in East Asia from the aspects of technical structure and level in exports. All evidence indicates that China′s position has been markedly enhanced, now it is situated between ASEAN countries and the 'Asian Tigers'. The development line-up of East Asia has been disrupted, and the 'flying geese' model tends to dissolve. In the technological and structural level of manufactured exports there is still a considerable gap between China and Singapore and South Korea, and it is far below Japan. The point of view that China has become Japan′s rivals is difficult to set up.
