What's So Special about China's Exports?
Open accessAbstract
Much more than comparative advantage and free markets have been at play in shaping China's export success.Government policies have helped nurture domestic capabilities in consumer electronics and other advanced areas that would most likely not have developed in their absence.As a result, China has ended up with an export basket that is significantly more sophisticated than what would be normally expected for a country at its income level.This has been an important determinant of China's rapid growth.What matters for China's future growth is not the volume of exports, but whether China will continue to latch on to higher-income products over time.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
