Abstract

Within the intellectual context of ``developing economies{''}, weexamine the growth patterns of China's import-export performance from2000 to 2010. We observed that there is a remarkable growth in recenttrade with Russia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Korea, Taiwan,Singapore, ASEAN-5, Argentina, Brazil and Chile for high-medium techproducts. These economies appeared to be the successful few that havegained manufacturing experiences and acquired technological capabilitiesto be able to exploit the opportunities in China's market. Japan andThailand are at vulnerable position. The so called remainder, such asSouth Africa which has been witnessing low industrial diversification,failed thereafter to export to China's market.
