LI Kun-wang1 (李坤望) and SONG Li-gang 2 (宋立刚)

 
Editorial note:

The rapid ascension of the Chinese economy has attracted global attention but concerns arising from the speed of China’s economic growth are also increasing. “China’s Trade Expansion Benefits the Asia Pacific Economies” was the result of a collaborative investigative analysis by Li Kun-wang and Song Li-gang, which pointed out the major role played by China in the rapid economic development of the Asia Pacific region during this period. Although Chinese exports face intense competition from other East Asian nations, this has provided massive development opportunities for countries in the Asia Pacific. The following article will analyze full and accurate statistical data in order to explain the extent of China’s contribution to this phenomenon and why it is unfair to label China a threat based merely upon her export growth.
