Analysis On Competitive Threats Of "Made In China"to The Manufacture Industry Of Latin America

With China’s WTO accession, its manufacture industry has been developing rapidly. China’s exports featured by labor intensive products also appear "blowout type" growth. Meanwhile, Latin American and Caribbean Countries recover from the debts crisis in the1980s and gradually become important participants of the world economy. However,"Made in China" is facing more and more trade frictions in recent years, while anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures against China emerge repeatedly. Even more, China’s manufacture industry has been taken as threatening power to other developing countries’, even the developed countries’ manufacturing industry. This paper aims to explore the interaction mechanism between "made in China" and Latin American manufacturing from1990to2008, and then analyzes whether "made in China" constitutes "competition threats" to the manufacturing development of Latin American.Based on theoretical analysis and data demonstrates, this paper conducts a research on whether or not China’s manufacturing constitutes "competition threats" to the manufacturing development of Latin American. By comparing the changes of Latin American countries’ international market share, the coincidence degree of China and Latin American countries’export commodity structure, and export products’sophistication structure index variation degree and so on, this paper can get an conclusion on this study. Research shows that:the direct competition threat between the Latin American countries and China in the third market (mainly is the American market) is very small. It is mainly because the trade between them can develop in highly complementary.The structure of this paper goes as follows:the first chapter is the introduction, which puts forward the writing objective and research methods; The second part is the literature review on the competitive threat to Latin America’s manufacture; The third part defines the concept of "competition threat", and sets a measure framework for the competition threat; The fourth part uses various technical indicators to analysis the competitive threat; The fifth part is the analysis of the competitive threats in world market, American market and within bilateral trade; Part6draw the conclusion, and put forward the corresponding policy.
