| Along with the progress of science technology and productivity, the expansion of the international trade and rise of transnational corporations, processing trade has becoming an important manner of participating international divisions of labor and plays more and more significant role in making full use of nation's comparative advantage, improving the industrial updating and expanding the exportation. Especially the developing countries can develop the economy more continuous, fast and healthy by the way of processing trade. Since open and reform of China, processing trade, as an important strategy of open, developed fast. But the level of development of processing trade in different regions exist great difference. In order to coordinate development between Eastern and Western Region and support central and Western Region to undertake the industry transfer, the State Council approved policies that improve gradient transfer of processing trade and drive central and western region to develop an opening economy. First, we should persist in the principles, emphasize continuous development, highlight the advantageous specific industry and promote industrial updating. Second, we should select the processing industries strictly which unify the local industries. Based on the background, this paper inquires into the feasibility whether processing trade could lead to the economic development.This paper bases on the gradient transfer of processing trade. Its main content is: The first chapter is introduction which discusses the paper's research background, research goal and practical meaning; The second chapter is the intention of processing trade and theory analysis of processing trade, and point out that the basic theory of processing trade is also comparative advantage and processing trade has essence of gradient transfer; The third chapter summarizes and reviews the evolution and structure of China's processing trade, and points out that regional structure of processing trade is coincident with regional structure of China's open; The fourth chapter is emphasized in analyzing the necessity and feasibility of gradient transfer of processing trade to central and western region by compare the advantage and disadvantage between eastern region and central and western region; The fifth chapter selects the processing industries; The last one is conclusion, in which writer express the hopes that people should be confident with gradient transfer of processing trade to central and western region and the industries selected in this paper could be the basis of consequent policy's formulation and industry structure of China.So far, the gradient difference between eastern region and central and western region is not only reflected in the development of processing trade, but also in per capita GDP, per capita industry output value and innovation. That is to say that the difference is comprehensive. So, this paper first confirms and proves the trade mode——processing trade, then selects corresponding industries, and the final aim is to reduce the difference between eastern region and central and western region, coordinate the regional development and achieve common well-off. |
