Introduzione o prefazione
China's economic development encompasses an improvement of its technological basis and an increasing share in the global trade of high-tech goods. Regarding the velocity of development, though, it is questionable as to the extent to which China has become an equal competitor for developed countries (DC) specialized in R&D-intensive goods. In this paper, we retrace China's technological catching-up process and attempt to analyze the implications for Germany as one of the largest exporters in this sector. By means of selected indicators of technological input (e.g. publications, FDI purposes) and trade performance (revealed comparative advantage, inter- and intra-industrial trade, unit value) we complement the analysis with a quality dimension. Our results indicate that although China has recently succeeded Germany as the world export leader in high-tech goods, its expansion has not occurred at the cost of Germany's position. However, this finding is not applicable to the US, which has lost quality advantages relative to both China and Germany, thus indicating that Germany might be a special case in an international comparison.
