However, there are considerationsabout the hierarchy and control in Global Value Chains (GVCs). Thus, this research aims toevaluate the Brazilian and Chinese international insertion in GVCs by proposing an indexabout technological sophistication in exports (qtech) by technological intensity for2005-2015. The results pointed out that the integration in GVCs and technologicalsophistication have been directed towards technological clusters in which Brazil hasrevealed comparative advantages, while China has been moving towards technologicalclusters with dynamic comparative advantages.
