“…Regarding the role of Hong Kong, first, as argued by Athukorala (2017), before 2000 China's exports were heavily concentrated on traditional labour-intensive manufactures such as apparel, footwear, toys, and sporting goods; and Hong Kong manufacturing firms played a pivotal role. As China moves away from its old labour-intensive and low-quality manufactured exports, the role of Hong Kong has become less important.…”

The protests in Hong Kong that took place in 2019 and are still ongoing in 2020 have attracted worldwide attention. This article presents an analysis of the relationship between Hong Kong and Mainland China through a number of different lenses, including past economic relations in financing, trade, capital flow, and renminbi (the Chinese currency) internationalisation, future economic relations against the

“…Measures to discourage globalization of production run into the problem that countries not taking advantage of the lower costs attainable through global production sharing must lose competitiveness relative to countries that do. According to Athukorala (2017), about 70 percent of China's manufacturing exports to the United States are products produced through global production sharing, with about half being components and the other half final assembly goods, often produced with key inputs such as design and marketing from foreign companies. Barriers to global production sharing would, in the case of components, raise the costs of domestic firms and, in the case of final assembly, reduce the returns to firms such as Apple that manage the production process.…”

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), established in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.

“…A clear understanding of the evolving patterns of GSCs is relevant for the current debate on the implications of President Trump's declared “trade war”, particularly for Sino‐US trade. GSC trade has become a prime mover of China's global economic integration, and this has created interdependence between China and the United States in a way that the old‐fashioned horizontal approach to trade fails to capture (Athukorala, ; Black, ; Krugman, ). China's exports to the United States are dominated by manufactured goods, with other (primary) products accounting for less than 5 per cent of total merchandise exports; GSC products account for the bulk of these manufactured goods, with their share increasing from 45 per cent in the early 2000s to over 65 per cent in 2016.…”

Economists have analysed GSCs using pure theory, econometrics and input–output calculations. We now need a new type of CGE model to show how GSC trade affects welfare and its distribution between and within nations. The new model must recognise: fragmentation of production; scale economies; intermediate inputs that cross national borders multiple times embodied in products at different stages of completion; and decision‐making by global agents. We describe a prototype that incorporates these features and gives interpretable results not attainable with a standard CGE model. We discuss steps to move from the prototype to a policy‐relevant model.
