Zhu Hongbo5. Conclusions135China and Latin America have had a long history of trade relations since the Silk Road acrossthe Pacific Ocean was explored in the 16 th century. In the 21 st century, the trade betweenthem grew quickly and China became the second trade partner of Latin America. In 2008, thefinancial crisis slowed the trade growth, but continued growth makes bilateral trade more importantfor both sides. Some challenges were faced, including the imbalance of trade, tradestructure, and investment. Trade is the cornerstone for deeper cooperation and great potentialis foreseeable in the future. Promoting high-tech and manufactured goods exports and abetter investment environment is necessary for both sides in order to build better and closereconomic relations. A cooperation forum and Summit conference would be good platformsfor future deeper cooperation, although they need hard effort and more time.GCG GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY - UNIVERSIA ENERO-ABRIL 2012 VOL. 6 NUM. 1 ISSN: 1988-7116pp: 115-135
136 China’s Move up the Value Chain.A Framework for Analysis*AREA: 1TYPE: CaseLa escalada de China en la cadena de valor. Marco de análisisO movimento ascendente da China na cadeia de valor. Uma Base para AnáliseauthorEdy Wong 1Centre forInternationalBusiness StudiesSchool of Business,University ofAlberta, Canadaedy@ualberta.caThis paper analyzes China’s efforts to move up the value chain with a new theoretical frameworkthat looks at both supply- and demand-side factors. While China can impact its productive capabilitiesdirectly through government policy and firm investment, market conditions and valuechain relations are not so amenable. China’s latecomer status puts it at a disadvantage in formingits own international value chains. However, its fast-growing domestic market affords Chinaa unique opportunity to cultivate its own value chain and competitiveness based on familiaritywith consumer preferences and demands at home.1. Corresponding Author:School of Business;University of Alberta;Centre for InternationalBusiness Studies;Edmonton; CANADA;T6G 2R6Este documento analiza los esfuerzos de China para escalar en la cadena de valor con un nuevo marco teórico queanaliza factores tanto desde el punto de vista de la oferta como de la demanda. Mientras que China puede afectar suscapacidades productivas directamente a través de la política gubernamental y de la inversión empresarial, las condicionesdel mercado y las relaciones de la cadena de valor no son tan flexibles. El hecho de que China sea la “nueva incorporación”la sitúa en desventaja en cuanto a la formación de sus propias cadenas de valor internacionales. Sin embargo,su mercado interior de rápido crecimiento brinda a China una oportunidad única para cultivar su propia cadena devalor y competitividad en base al conocimiento de las preferencias y de las demandas de los consumidores en el país.Este estudo analisa os esforços da China para subir na cadeia de valor, com uma nova base teórica que assenta emfactores do lado do fornecimento e também da procura. Embora a China possa causar impacto directamente nas suascapacidades de produção, através de políticas governamentais e do investimento das empresas, as condições de mercadoe as relações da cadeia de valor não são as mais adequadas. O estatuto de último a chegar da China coloca-a em desvantagempara formar as suas próprias cadeias de valor internacionais. Contudo, o seu mercado doméstico em rápidocrescimento proporciona à China uma oportunidade única para cultivar a sua própria cadeia de valor e competitividadecom base na familiaridade com as preferências dos consumidores e da procura doméstica.* The author is grateful for the invaluable comments by anonymous referees on the original draft of this paper.DOI10.3232/GCG.2012.V6.N1.08Received03.05.2011Accepted01.03.2012GCG GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY - UNIVERSIA ENERO-ABRIL 2012 VOL. 6 NUM. 1 ISSN: 1988-7116pp: 136-155
