Abstract

[fre] En une vingtaine d’années, la Chine est devenue l’un des acteurs essentiels dans le commerce mondial, après avoir connu pendant 30 ans une situation de quasi-autarcie. Cette performance résulte d’une politique économique à la fois incitative pour les firmes nationales et attractive pour les firmes étrangères. Si l’évolution de la spécialisation reflète une montée en gamme dans la qualité des produits, elle traduit aussi la prépondérance des firmes multinationales dont dépend très largement le commerce extérieur. La Chine est fortement intégrée dans les réseaux productifs et commerciaux asiatiques, ce qui lui permet d’être très compétitive. Mais cette réussite sera dans l’avenir soumise à la capacité du gouvernement à poursuivre la partie la plus difficile des réformes, à gérer des intérêts divergents tout en maintenant un taux de croissance élevé. . Classification JEL : F14, O19, O53 [eng] The increasing share of China in international trade : a successful story for a fragile economy . Since the 80s, China became one of the main actors of international trade, after an autarky of thirty years. This is due to an economic policy providing incentives both for national and foreign firms. China is still specialised in labour intensive products, but is also trying to upgrade the quality of the products. Foreign trade depends heavily on foreign firms. The country is highly integrated in the Asian production networks, which sustains its competitiveness. But, this success will rely on the capability of the government to continue the most difficult part of the reforms, to coordinate different interests while keeping a high growth rate. . JEL classification : F14, O19, O53
