Since implementing the first wave of market reforms in 1978, China has achieved economic growth at an unprecedented rate. Its embrace of globalization and the relentless scaling up of its manufacturing and export sectors have been some of the leading drivers of China’s economic miracle. Led by the country’s drive to achieve technological advancement, China’s manufacturers have rapidly moved up the value chain and many have achieved global competitiveness and growing market share in high-tech manufacturing.
China’s transformation into a powerhouse of global trade is remarkable considering that only four decades ago it was a closed economy that accounted for less than 2% of global exports.3 In the ensuing years China succeeded in building an industrial base of unparalleled depth and scale and by 2009 it overtook Germany as the world’s biggest exporter. As of November 2020, the country’s share of global exports surpassed 14%4 and its vast ecosystem of manufacturers and suppliers have integrated deeper into global value chains. Even amid intensifying competition with the United States and the outbreak of COVID-19, China’s exports have shown remarkable resilience and the world’s reliance on Chinese manufacturing remains as high as ever.

As well as achieving an expansion in capacity, China’s manufacturers have been able to move up the value chain into knowledge intensive industries through rapid upgrades in technology. A 2018 study conducted by the National Science Board of the United States revealed that China had gained a 24% global share in high-tech manufacturing output by 2016 from just 8% in 2003.6 This move up the value chain is reflected in the increasing amount of high value-added intermediate and capital goods that are being produced domestically rather than being bought from abroad. And the rise in the share of intermediate and capital goods in China’s export product mix shows its increasing importance as a supplier in the global supply chain.

Amid a global environment of resurgent protectionism, the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) in November 2020 by China along with 14 other signatories in the Asia Pacific is projected to benefit regional trade. Covering 30% of the world’s population and GDP6, the RCEP is China’s first plurilateral trade agreement, and according to some studies, China is projected to be biggest beneficiary in terms of income gains, alongside Japan and Korea. Similarly, the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement in Investment, which was announced by China and the European Union to have been agreed in principal on 30 December 2020, demonstrated China’s commitment to forging closer ties with its major trading partners.
