Comparative Advantages,Later-developing Aadvantages And Path Of China's New-pattern Industrialization

The 16th national congress of Chinese Communist Party(CCP)proposed: "It is still a hard and historical mission in the process of our country's modernization to realize industrialization." Our country's future industrialization should "abide by the policy of relying on informalization to promote industrialization and of relying on industrialization to promote informalization". This is the CCP's strategic decision of following the path of new-pattern industrialization when our country has been in the new period of all-round building moderate well-off society in order to quicken our country's tempo of transforming industrialization from the middle stage to the higher stage. Around this strategic decision proposed by the Central Committee of CCP, the domestic academic circles of economics discuss warmly on the connotation and technical base of the new industrialization path, on why and how to follow this path. They have advanced many points of view and shown remarkable insights on this issue. But there are 3 obvious faults. The first is that their vision is not enough broad because they studied it only from the view of technical economics. The second is that the theoretical base has not been discussed enough. So they didn't probe into the essence of this issue. The third is that their proposals are not comprehensive enough because they proposed mostly from the view of technical economics.The author holds that there are still many problems and faults in the industrialization although China`s economy has entered into the middle stage of industrialization and we have achieved splendid results after several decades' arduous working. For example, our society is not wealthy enough; the income of per capital is low; the industrial structure is not high; the level of urbanization is low; the ratio between capital and labor is low; the level of consumption is low; the Gini coefficient is high, etc.. To solve these problems and raise our country's industrialization level, we will confront 5 thorny problems: The first is the contradiction of quickening the industrialization tempo and being short of the demands contributed by farmers; the second is the contradiction of the low growth rate in non-agriculture industries and accelerating the urbanization; the third is the contradiction of intensification in manufacture expansion and demands in employment creation; the forth is the contradiction of extending out-opening spheres and being not strong in international manufacture competitiveness; the fifth is the contradiction of raising industrialization speed and restriction in natural resources, environment, regional differences.How to resolve these contradictions in order to successfully realize raising our country's industrialization level? The author maintains that the key point is that the developing countries must own much stronger competitiveness than the developed countries in a number of industries if these developing countries want to successfully realize industrialization and modernization in the background of economic globalization and informalization, and in a more and more free, open, competitive global market. To compare the developing countries with the developed, the main advantages of the developing countries are comparative advantages and later-developing advantages. The economic globalization and informalization have not changed the important status and role of the comparative advantages and later-developing advantages in the developing countries' economic development. This indicates that the developing countries have stronger competitiveness than the developed countries only in these industries which the developing countries own obvious comparative and later-developing advantages. Because of the interdependence between comparative advantages and later-developing advantages in the process of the developing countries' economic development, the developing countries can most efficiently accelerate the process of their own industrialization only if they correctly carry on the development strateg...
