“…Picking up selected examples, Frederick and Gereffi (2011) argued that apparel exporters in Chine and Asia have outperformed those in Mexico and Central America due to market diversification by joining the GVCs. Rasiah et al (2011) picked up moving-up case of button manufacturing in Qiaotou-city cluster in China in the context of joining GVCs. Zheng and Sheng (2006) showed a case study of the Yunhe wood toy cluster in Zhejiang in China, in which the GVCs has provided external channels of knowledge and learning opportunities for local firms.…”

This paper examines how the Chinese economy has been involved in global value chains from the perspective of domestic value creation, by using the OECD valueadded-trade data (OECD TiVA database). This study contributes to the existing literature by decomposing the domestic value creation into a direct effect from export industries and an indirect effect from the other supporting industries. The empirical estimation first identified the -smile curve‖ in the -indirect‖ domestic value creation in total manufactures as the average pattern of the Asian GVCs development paths, in which the domestic value share to exports declines at the early development stage and regains itself at the later stage with the turning point being at 1,830 US dollars as per capita GDP. Then the analysis confirmed the position of Chinese economy, which has already passed the Asian average turning point and has entered the phase of regaining the domestic value share to exports. Finally, the analysis found that the domestic value creation in China has originated from the development of supporting industries, in particular, service industries, which might reflect the progress in basic infrastructure there.Contribution/ Originality: This study contributes in the existing literature by enriching the evidence on the domestic value creation in the involvement in global value chains in Chinese economy, through using the updated OECD database of -Trade in Value Added: December 2016‖, and through decomposing the domestic value into direct and indirect effects.

“…The second either used this approach as the initiator or otherwise to promote economic synergies through clustering of firms with meso organisations (intermediary organisations, such as standards organisations, universities and R&D labs) using county and province-level co-ordination to promote technological catch up. Button manufacturing in Qiaotou is a classic example of this approach (see Rasiah, Kong, and Vinanchiarachi 2011). This approach has also included Chinese firms' hiring of returning human capital from abroad (Saxenian 2006) and the acquisition of foreign multinationals to access technology and global markets.…”

“…China has also achieved dominance in the production of light manufactured goods. For example, the town of Qiaotou accounted for an amazing 65% of the world's button production in 2007 (Rasiah, Kong, and Vinanchiarachi 2011).…”

This article examines the structural changes in domestic value creation in exports in the involvement process of global value chains with a focus on eight Asian economies, through the quantitative analyses using the updated OECD value-added-trade data. The major research questions are: what is an average turning point in terms of per capita GDP in regaining domestic value added share to exports, and which industries, the export industry or supporting industries, have contributed to regaining domestic value added share to exports. The empirical analyses identified an accurate turning point at 2,032 US dollars as per capita GDP in regaining domestic value added share to exports, and also showed that the supporting industries including service sector, rather than the exporting industry itself, have played an active role to push up the domestic value added share to exports in the involvement process of global value chains. The two strategies, "enterprise clustering" and "linkages development", facilitating technological transfers from international firms to local ones, contributed to the domestic value creation in the involvement process of global value chains.Contribution/ Originality: The paper"s primary contribution is that the supporting industries including service sector, rather than the exporting industry itself, have played an active role to push up the domestic value added share to exports in the involvement process of global value chains.
