Authors:

In the context of globalization, China is accelerating its integration into the global economic system by making full use of its comparative advantages and the development opportunity brought about by international industrial transfer. In this process, Chinese manufacturing is the most striking industry and has benefited most from economic globalization. In the development of Chinese manufacturing, however, there is still the problem of dynamic transformation of comparative advantages. In this chapter, we will make an in-depth study on this issue using the statistics of the 29 sectors of Chinese manufacturing.

The effect of oil price shocks on typical industry of industry chain in China

January 2012

Zhang Qian

The industries involved by oil not only are extensive but also have long industry chain, it is obvious that the oil price shocks could affect all aspects of our production and life through the industry-chains' transmission. Based on the nature of the shocks, we would decompose them into four different types, and analyze their transmission mechanisms and effects on some typical industries which in ... [Show full abstract] Chinese industry-chain. Through the study of the oil price shocks, we could conclude that the rise in international oil prices should not be attributed to the “China factor”. According to the researches about the influences on typical industries brought by these different shocks, we could find that: because of the various transformation or transference abilities of oil price on industry-chain, different industries in the chain would encounter different impacts.

Rural education and technique transformation in the People's Republic of China

April 1978 · Technological Forecasting and Social Change

John N. Hawkins

Technique transformation refers to an approach which focuses on scaling up existing techniques gradually and with high levels of participation as opposed to the transfer of techniques from one sector to another. In China, this transformation process is carried out through the rural education system utilizing both formal and nonformal means. In this study Chinese efforts to introduce a learning ... [Show full abstract] network in the rural sector to assist in the transformation of agricultural and industrial technology will be explored. Specific reference will be made to China's marginal regions highlighting the variety of educational networks aimed at transforming the techniques deemed essential for promoting agricultural and small-scale industry. Four such networks will be examined: research and development; formal education; extension and dissemination; and nonschool information dissemination. The study will focus on the linkages between the networks and the implications inherent in such a system for the introduction of appropriate technology, planning strategies, training of change agents, and development strategy in general for marginal regions.
