Abstract: This article analyzes the evolution of Italian firms in China over the past decade. We usea set of information sources to monitor the variety of ways in which firms develop international economic relationships: i.e. trade, direct investment, supply chain networks, offshoring.As regards foreign direct investment, we offered an insight into the Istat Outward-Fats dataset, that makes it possible to analyze economic consistency, performance and specificity ofthe pattern of internationalization of Italian companies resident in Asia, studying the role thatbranches play in the context of global value chains. Finally, through a study of panel data relatingto the Italian province, we propose an analysis of the impact of offshoring with Asia onemployment and productivity of local systems.
