China & World Economy, 2008, vol. 16, issue 5, 16-34

Abstract: China and India are two demographic giants that have become big developing economic powers. They have maintained their specialization in textiles and developed outward‐oriented sectors linked to new technologies, taking advantage of offshoring and outsourcing. Their increasing contribution to international trade is changing the world supply and demand of manufactured goods, primary goods and services. They are new leaders in the international division of labor, but beyond technological catch‐up, their challenge is quality upgrading. Both countries are increasingly contributing to global economic growth, but they cannotyet trigger the growth of the rest of the world by themselves.
