Smart technology renders high-end manufacturing possible

Based on the perspective of comparative advantage, This paper examines the impact of the correlation between China's manufacturing and service industries before and after the global value chain on their status.he results show that the advantages of China's primary industry and low - and medium-tech manufacturing industry have declined, and the correlation between China's high-end manufacturing industry and service industry has become closer and more obvious, which is conducive to the improvement of China's position in the global value chain. Therefore, we should give full play to the comparative advantages of the industry and provide strong empirical research for China's industrial transformation and upgrading.

The development of China's manufacturing industry is constrained by factors such as energy and resources, and low-carbon development is arduous. Digitalization is an important method to transform and upgrade traditional industries. Based on the panel data of 13 manufacturing industries in China from 2007 to 2019, a regression model and a threshold model were used to empirically test the impact of digitalization and electricity consumption on carbon emissions. The research results were as follows: (1) The digitalization level of China's manufacturing industry was steadily increasing; (2) The proportion of electricity consumption in China's manufacturing industries in the total electricity consumption hardly changed from 2007 to 2019, basically maintaining at about 6.8%. The total power consumption increased by about 2.1 times. (3) From 2007 to 2019, the total carbon emissions of China's manufacturing industry increased, but the carbon emissions of some manufacturing industries decreased. (4) There was an inverted U-shaped relationship between digitalization and carbon emissions, the higher the level of digitalization input, the greater the carbon emissions of the manufacturing industry. However, when digitalization develops to a certain extent, it will also suppress carbon emissions to a certain extent. (5) There was a significant positive correlation between electricity consumption and carbon emissions in the manufacturing industry. (6) There were double energy thresholds for the impact of labor-intensive and technology-intensive manufacturing digitalization on carbon emissions, but only a single economic threshold and scale threshold. There was a single scale threshold for capital-intensive manufacturing, and the value was -0.5352. This research provides possible countermeasures and policy recommendations for digitalization to empower the low-carbon development of China's manufacturing industry.

Carbon emission reduction characteristics for China's manufacturing firms: Implications for formulating carbon policies

At present, China's carbon emissions rank first in the world, which not only brings huge challenges to the sustainable development of China's economy, but also brings more pressure from public opinion in the international community. With the outward migration of China's manufacturing industries to Southeast Asia, the carbon emissions embodied in trade has also been transferred. These trends provide a good opportunity to analyze the characteristics of transnational industrial restructuring and spatial structure transformation of carbon emissions between China and Southeast Asian countries. In 2020, ASEAN has become China's largest trading partner, and Thailand, due to its unique industrial structure and investment environment, will surely become one of the main ASEAN countries to undertake the transfer of China's manufacturing industry. Over the years, the shift of carbon emissions by the continuous transfer of a large number of basic manufacturing industries from China to Thailand promoted the release of China's carbon emission pressure. In this article, on the basis of the data of import and export commodities between China and Thailand from 2012 to 2017, the input-output model is carried out to analyze the energy consumption of China's various industries, and three periods, namely 2012, 2015, and 2017, are used to be key periods to calculate the embodied carbon of China's manufacturing migration and Sino-Thailand trade. The empirical results show that the transfer of China's manufacturing to Thailand from 2012 to 2017 has continued to rise. The transfer of Chinese manufacturing to Thailand is positively correlated with the carbon emissions of trade between the two countries, which has promoted the relief of China's pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction. Therefore, government departments should formulate differentiated and stable domestic manufacturing policies, spend on the development of advanced manufacturing industries with low energy consumption and high technology density, and encourage the relocation of industries with low technology density and high-carbon emissions to effectively reduce environmental pressure in China.

Since the reform and opening up, China's economic level has been continuously improved, and the manufacturing industry, as one of the three major industries, has also achieved rapid development. Since joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), China's foreign trade has also maintained rapid growth for many years. However, in recent years, China's manufacturing industry has been facing the problem of large but not strong. China's foreign trade also urgently needs to solve the problem of large volume but insufficient competitiveness. The covid-19 trade friction has been escalating, the globalization of globalization and the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia have affected the development of the global economy to varying degrees, and the uncertainty of the international environment has increased. Since 2020, China has proposed to gradually form a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other, so as to cultivate China's new advantages in participating in international cooperation and competition under the new situation. In such a severe environment, to implement the instructions of the CPC Central Committee, realize the high-quality development of domestic industry and foreign trade, promote market integration and improve the quality of export products is the only way to improve China's comprehensive strength. Based on this, this paper explores the impact of market integration on the quality of export products and analyzes the impact channels from the enterprise level, and calculates the level of market integration and the quality index of export products by using China Statistical Yearbook, China industrial enterprise database and China customs database. Based on the existing literature, this paper puts forward the following hypotheses: Based on manufacturing enterprises, (1) there is a nonlinear relationship between market integration and export product quality, which is first enhanced and then inhibited, showing an inverted "U" shape. (2) Market integration will improve the quality of export products by promoting human capital. (3) Market integration will affect the improvement of export product quality by promoting scientific research investment. (4) The impact of market integration on the quality of manufacturing export products is significant in non-state-owned enterprises. (5) the impact of market integration on the quality of manufacturing export products is more significant in eastern and western cities. In order to comprehensively test the impact of the above-mentioned manufacturing industry on the quality of China's manufacturing industry, this paper selects 4596 domestic manufacturing enterprises' benchmark and regression data in 2014, and makes an in-depth analysis of the impact of the above-mentioned manufacturing industry on the quality of China's manufacturing industry, In order to provide some theoretical support for improving the quality of China's export products through market integration.

ABSTRACTChina's economy has achieved significant growth by relying on manufacturing‐ and export‐oriented economic models. However, with the transformations in the global economic environment (particularly the increase in the complexity of trade friction and economic globalisation), news of intellectual property disputes confronted by Chinese enterprises in international markets is emerging continuously. Intellectual property has become an essential focus for Chinese enterprises participating in international competition. This study examines the impact mechanism of external intellectual property protection on China's manufacturing export trade and evaluates the comprehensive impact of foreign intellectual property protection on the scale and quality of China's manufacturing exports. The study uses relevant data on China's exports to 60 countries (regions) from 2001 to 2019 as a sample, establishes a gravity model, and empirically examines the effects of foreign intellectual property protection on the scale and product quality of China's manufacturing exports. The conclusions drawn from this study can also provide a reference for China and other developing countries to shift their manufacturing industries towards high‐quality development.

Carbon emission reduction potential and reduction strategy of China's manufacturing industry

As China commits to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, the booming digital economy presents great opportunities to transform and upgrade the manufacturing industry for low-carbon development.Leveraging the digital economy to drive manufacturing upgrades is critical for meeting China's climate goals, enhancing the low-carbon trade competitiveness of manufacturing, and accelerating China's shift from a manufacturing leader to a manufacturing powerhouse.This study investigates the impact of the digital economy on the low-carbon trade competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry, using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2020.We develop a digital economy development index and a manufacturing transformation and upgrading index, and test their relationships using a mediation model.Our results show that the digital economy has a significant positive impact on low-carbon trade competitiveness, both directly (=1.45,p<0.01) and indirectly through promoting manufacturing transformation and upgrading (=0.84,p<0.01).The mediating effect accounts for 38% of the total effect.We also find regional heterogeneity, with the eastern region showing the strongest impact.Our findings suggest that promoting digital economy development and manufacturing upgrading are critical for enhancing the low-carbon competitiveness of China's manufacturing sector.Therefore, China should vigorously develop the digital economy and fully utilize its potential to optimize manufacturing resource allocation, reduce pollution, improve energy efficiency, and strengthen the multifaceted low-carbon trade competitiveness of manufacturing.

In recent years, globalization has brought significant development opportunities to various economies worldwide, including influences for export-oriented economies such as China and Germany. This paper examines the export competitiveness of China and Germany in terms of labor market conditions and non-price factors, as well as the impact of China as an emerging economy on German manufacturing export competitiveness. Labor costs, productivity, and market reforms are considered to analyze labor market competitiveness. Non-price competitiveness is examined through explorations of product innovation, quality, and high-tech products. This article found that China's manufacturing export advantage is primarily due to the low labor cost of its workers, and FDI contributes to China's technological and high-tech export advancements. The competitiveness of German exports is attributed to the labor market reforms in Germany and the innovation and high quality of its products. On the other hand, wage inequalities exist in both China's and Germany's manufacturing industries. The study also finds that while emerging economic giant China has gained significant export market share, Germany can remain competitive.

PurposeCloud manufacturing (CMfg) is a networked manufacturing mode that promotes the agile, service-oriented, green and intelligent development of the manufacturing industry. Although some scholars have reviewed related studies of CMfg from multiple perspectives, these reviews are not fully systematic or well justified and fail to fully reveal the key characteristics in the development process of CMfg. The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the relevant research on CMfg via identification of key characteristics of definition, architecture, supporting technology and application of CMfg to provide critical information in decision support for the innovation and development of CMfg.Design/methodology/approachThis study systematically reviews the relevant research on CMfg across theoretical methods to technical applications by integrating quantitative and qualitative methods. Word cloud method is used to quantitatively analyse the structure and feature of different definitions of CMfg. The principle of System Science is used to explore the basic components and functions of various CMfg architectures and their common and differing characteristics. A multi-level technology framework is developed to explore the development status of CMfg supporting technologies. A multi-stage application classification is proposed to reveal the application status of CMfg.FindingsThrough literature review, this study found that CMfg architecture is currently dominated by general architectures and lacks architectures that fit the actual enterprise characteristics; CMfg supporting technology is mature in the traditional cloud computing-based technology, but it is still weak in the development of virtualization and servitization technology, service scheduling technology; CMfg application is still in the initial stage and still lacks a relatively complete system application. By analysing the development status of CMfg, this study also identified potential research directions of CMfg in information management, service composition and evaluation, system application and sustainable development and other aspects.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper predominantly focuses on journal articles and some key conference papers published in English and Chinese. Chinese articles account for more than half of the total. The reason is that CMfg was proposed by the Chinese and CMfg is suitable for the development of China's manufacturing industry because of China's intelligent manufacturing environment. It is believed that this research has reached a reliable comprehensiveness that can help scholars and practitioners establish new research directions and evaluate their work in CMfg.Originality/valuePrior literature reviews ignore the identification and analysis of key feature identification for the current development of CMfg, including common and unique feature identification of different CMfg architectures and functions, multi-layer analysis and interpretation of CMfg technology and different stage analysis of CMfg applications. This study addresses these limitations and provides a comprehensive literature review.
