The double-edged sword of globalization has transformed China's economic development in the past few decades. Although China has benefitted hugely from globalization and is now the second largest economy in the world, having become a global manufacturing power, and the biggest exporter of high tech products, it continues to be highly dependent on both foreign sources of capital and technology. This book will explore the core of the Chinese economy from the perspective of the Global Value Chain (GVC), combining analysis of inward investment, international trade, Science and Technology and Innovation (S&TI) and economic development. Specifically, it investigates China's evolving role in GVCs with some innovative Chinese companies emerging in the global market and China's ongoing efforts to become an innovation-driven economy. China's impressive economic record and experience provides an impressive role model for other developing countries."--Provided by publisher. ER -
