“…Likewise, Claudio-Quiroga et al (2022) investigated the impact of Chinese OFDI on economic growth in the major Chinese OFDI recipient countries including Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Nigeria, and South Africa. The results reveal that Nigeria, and to some extent South Africa and Kenya have a positive association between Chinese OFDI and growth.…”

Governance plays a pivotal role in shaping how FDI impacts economic growth in Africa. Weak governance in many African countries has posed a barrier to realizing the full potential of foreign investment on the continent. Our study, based on panel data from 41 African countries spanning 2005 to 2020 and employing Sys-GMM and pooled OLS econometrics methods, confirms that both Chinese OFDIs and governance independently contribute positively to economic growth in African nations. However, when considering their combined effect, it is positive but statistically insignificant. When examining regional and income groups, we found significant positive impacts in Central and East Africa, negative and significant impacts in North Africa, and varying effects elsewhere. In summary, governance is pivotal in optimizing the impact of Chinese OFDI on African economic growth, with regional and developmental nuances. Hence, we recommend that African governments and Chinese stakeholders join efforts to improve governance and increase Chinese OFDI in Africa.

“…FDI promotes the international competitiveness of enterprises and enhances the GVC of enterprises through technology spillover effects [72]. Based on the calculation method of Claudio et al (2022) [73], it is measured by the sum of the total foreign direct investment and Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan direct investment.…”

International Industrial Transfer, Green Technological Innovation, and Manufacturing Global Value Chain Status

et al. 2023

Most of the existing literature focuses on how international industrial transfer (IIT) impacts the global value chain (GVC) status of the manufacturing industry from the perspective of narrowly defined FDI but ignores the objective fact that FDI and IIT are not equivalent. Based on theory analysis, we used the TiVA database, the input–output model, and global value chain-related methods to effectively measure the scale of generalized IIT and GVCs of manufacturing sectors in China from 1995 to 2018. On this basis, the relationship between IIT and the GVCs of manufacturing industries and the moderating effect of green technological innovation (GTI) were empirically investigated using industry panel data. The results show that (1) there is a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship between IIT and manufacturing GVCs; that is, a larger IIT scale is not better from the perspective of manufacturing GVCs. (2) GTI weakens the inverted U-shaped relationship between IIT and manufacturing GVCs. (3) The heterogeneity analysis found that both medium- and high-technology manufacturing IITs have a nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship with GVCs, which does not exist in low-technology manufacturing IIT. (4) The benchmark regression results remain robust after replacing the GVC measure, excluding special years and endogeneity treatment and replacing the estimation method robustness test. The research in this paper has implications for optimizing the design of IIT policies to promote the upgrading of manufacturing GVC status.

“…Thus, China's concern over the competition in FDI plagues ASEAN countries (Ullah et al, 2022). The much lower cost of manufacturing in China is considered to pose a particular threat to ASEAN exports for the industrial market (Claudio-Quiroga et al, 2022).…”

Since long ago, international scholars have predicted that China will rise as one of the great powers in the international political economy. Based on China's potential to rise as the world’s number two power, this paper will discuss the forms of China's potential threats through economic and military means that can threaten the security of the Asia Pacific region. The main objective of this study is to examine the factors behind China's rise as a new power in the world economy and to identify the potential threat of China's military to the security of the Asia Pacific region. This study uses the concept of human security and security dilemma. The results of the study show that China has indeed succeeded in becoming a major power in the world economy after joining the WTO. However, the development of the international political economy today, shows that China has not fully challenged the existing international order through its military. China is seen to have worked hard to establish cooperation based on the spirit of the neighborhood and sustainable economic relations with countries in the Asia Pacific region and the United States.
