Abstract: Abstract This contribution proposes a conceptual framework to understand the rapid development of China’s Industrial Internet of things (IIoT). The focus is on new platform-based concepts of production, for which China emerges as the world’s largest and most diversified testing ground. The guiding question is whether and how platform-based manufacturing (PBM) can become a model of social and economic organization in key sectors of industry and whether and how this changes value chains and their existing hierarchies in China and globally? Referring to current debates on the platform economy and relevant literature on global production networks and value chains, platform-based manufacturing will be introduced as a sectoral and industry-specific configuration of production networks with divergent trajectories of development, depending on their economic, political, and social context.
