Abstract: Abstract Three decades of double-digit export-oriented growth have expanded China’s position in multiple sectors of the global economy. China’s vast manufacturing base and consumer market continues to expand, and Chinese companies have become increasingly pro-active in promoting products and sourcing inputs overseas (Schüler-Zhou and Schüller 2007). Despite the growth and internationalization, however, China’s export sector is still based on the labour-intensive manufacture of low-value products and China is seeking to upgrade its economy by building international competitiveness in higher-value activities (OECD, 2007).
