讲座内容提要:
This lecture looks at China’s changing global economic importance over the last 40 years. It has gone from being a very poor, relatively low developed country prior to the reforms in 1978 to the world’s second largest economy after the USA (and may overtake USA very soon).
In the process, China has seen a rapid expansion of manufacturing industry and has now become the world’s largest exporter of manufactured goods. This has major implications for the global economic system. The old global division of labour, involving western countries exporting to the rest of the world while importing raw materials has now been replaced by new international division of labour. The lecture combines both theoretical discussion and empirical analysis using World Bank and IMF data.
