Comparative Analysis and Path Study of Global Value Chains Between China and International Countries -- Based on CiteSpace Knowledge Graph Analysis

Abstract

This paper uses CiteSpace V software to sort out and analyze the research literature on GVCs published in CSSCI and Web of Science database from 1998 to 2019 and compares the international research with the Chinese research. The similarities and differences are deeply explored between the two sides in the research basis, research hotspots, development trends, and research forces of GVCs. The main findings are as follows : (1) The international focus is mainly on sustainable development and environmental impact, while China, an economy in transition, pays more attention to its international division of labor and industrial upgrading; (2) The research on GVC in China started late, the domestic cooperation network is relatively loose, and the domestic resource integration is not strong enough; (3) China faces international and domestic pressures in the promotion of the global value chain, and the requirement of sustainable development also increases the challenge for efficient and clean development; (4) China acquires the leading role in the restructuring of the global value chain and strives to improve its position in the global value chain by constructing a step-by-step cooperation model of "global value chain -domestic value chain -regional value chain -global value chain".
