“…China's foreign trade has grown rapidly to become the second largest exporter in 2007 with the opportunity offered by GVCs for Chinese firms to integrate into international trade and production networks. However, Chinese firms do not achieve the status in the international market as China's total exports, they mainly engage in low‐value‐added processing and production global production networks (Yang & Huang, 2014), therefore they unable to expand production when entering export markets due to a lack of market power (Chi, 2022; Herr, 2018).…”

“…However, they may be trapped in low value‐added activities based on their comparative advantages (Dünhaupt & Herr, 2021). For the global production networks that are mainly driven by powerful buyers from developed countries, these asymmetrical relationships have hampered export‐oriented industries in developing countries from moving up the value chain (Anner, 2019; Chi, 2022; Herr, 2018).…”

This article reveals the source of exporters' better environmental performance (exporters' environmental premium) for Chinese firms with a model based on heterogeneous firm theory and empirical analysis with a difference‐in‐differences method based on the Chinese export tax refund reduction in 2004 and comprehensive firm‐level environmental survey data. The results show that exporting releases Chinese firms' financing constraints and enables them to upgrade production technologies quickly by applying advanced production technology (capital‐embodied technological upgrading) rather than by upgrading abatement technologies, to drive down sulfur dioxide (SO2) intensity and energy intensity. Exporting also reduces a firm's average energy intensity and SO2 intensity by reallocating resources from energy‐intensive and polluting production and firms to cleaner ones, that is, the resource reallocation effect. However, Chinese firms cannot expand their production much when trade costs decrease, which makes it difficult for the scale effect to work well.

“…Notably, the garment industry has emerged as a significant sector in Vietnam, with garments constituting a major share of exports (Huynh 2022). Recently, Vietnam has become a prominent global garment exporter (Chi 2022;Thi Nong 2022). This context serves as a driving force for our investigation, and our research objectives revolve around probing the connections between two critical facets of supply chain resilience (SCR): supply chain capabilities and supply chain visibility.…”

This study explores the significance of two determinants: Supply Chain Capabilities and Supply Chain Visibility, in the intricate interplay among Supply Chain Resilience, Supply Chain Performance, and Firm Performance. A dataset comprising 221 participants from Vietnamese garment manufacturing firms was gathered and subjected to analysis using the PLS-SEM approach, revealing insights into the modeled complex relationships. The research findings reveal that visibility significantly influences supply chain resilience; while the hypotheses of a positive impact of supply chain visibility and supply chain resilience on firm performance have been rejected. Interestingly, these findings underscore the significant influence of indirect relationships mediated by factors, such as supply chain resilience and supply chain performance. Hence, this study bridges a gap in the existing body of literature and offers practical implications for supply chain management, particularly concerning performance measurement challenges in this sector. The article suggests that the Vietnamese garment supply chain could enhance supply chain and firm performance by focusing on supply chain capabilities and visibility.
