Comparative Analysis On International Competitiveness Of Integrated Circuit Trade Between China And South Korea

Integrated circuits are the cornerstone of the development of information and communication technology industries in various countries,and to a large extent affect the development of the future technological industry revolution,and are known as "industrial food".With the transfer of the global integrated circuit industry chain,emerging economies in East Asia represented by China and South Korea occupy a core position in the global integrated circuit trade.In recent years,although the scale of China's integrated circuit trade has expanded rapidly,it has been in an unbalanced state for a long time,and the trade deficit is extremely high.The domestic demand for high-end integrated circuits can only be met by imports.The development of my country's integrated circuit trade is large but not strong.Thanks to the financial support and preferential policies of the Korean government,in the 1980 s,Korean integrated circuit companies took the lead in breaking through the international technology of memory integrated circuits.After that,the Korean government developed other integrated circuit products on this basis.Export of foreign exchange earning products.In order to measure the gap between China's IC trade international competitiveness and South Korea more accurately,this thesis uses IC trade data as the basis,using the international market share(MS)index,revealed comparative advantage(RCA)index,revealed competitive advantage(CA)index three methods to measure and compare the international competitiveness of China and South Korea's integrated circuit trade.The results show that the international competitiveness of China's integrated circuit trade is not strong,and there is a large gap with South Korea.Next,an empirical study on the influencing factors of the international competitiveness of integrated circuit trade between China and South Korea is conducted.According to the theory of national competitive advantage,relevant independent variables are selected,and the RCA index of integrated circuit trade between the two countries is used as the dependent variable to establish regression models respectively.The results show that the intensity of R&D investment,IC sales,the number of IC companies,ICT service exports,and the proportion of FDI in GDP have a positive effect on the international competitiveness of China's IC trade,and the domestic private sector credit ratio is negatively correlated with it;while South Korea's R&D investment Strength,domestic private sector credit ratio,IC sales,IC employees,and the proportion of FDI in GDP have a significant role in promoting the international competitiveness of IC trade.Based on the above analysis,this thesis puts forward the following five countermeasures and suggestions.First,strengthen personnel training and enrich high-quality human resources for integrated circuits;second,expand market opening and encourage international cooperation among integrated circuit companies;third,promote the development of the service industry and drive the upgrading of integrated circuit products;fourth,increase investment in research and development,and improve the technical level in a market-oriented manner;fifth is to strengthen financial environment regulation to ensure free and orderly financing of integrated circuit enterprises.
