Resumo: Abstract This article aims to provide more and better evidence regarding the degree and nature of the interaction of countries within global value chains (GVCs), based on metrics compatible with the international fragmentation of production. The main focus is on the Chinese specialization pattern in vertically integrated production networks. Our results suggest that China’s production has advanced to other stages located more at the beginning/bottom of the GVC, while increasing its importance in cross-country production sharing and becoming less dependent of intermediate imports embodied in its exports. The decline in re-exported intermediate imports in China was not translated into lesser diversification of its exports. On the contrary, China has climbed the ladder of production complexity, while becoming more integrated into world trade and relying less and less on imported inputs, as well as becoming more competitive in the production of components. Keywords: global value chains, international competitiveness, vertical specialization patterns, China.  JEL Codes: L00, L23, F14.

Este artigo tem como objetivo fornecer mais e melhores evidências sobre o grau e a natureza da interação dos países nas cadeias de valor globais (CGV) a partir de métricas compatíveis com a fragmentação internacional da produção, com foco no padrão de especialização chinês em redes de produção verticalmente integradas. Nossos resultados sugerem que a produção da China avançou para outros estágios localizados mais no início das CGVs, enquanto o país aprofundou sua importância na divisão da produção internacional entre os países e tornou-se menos dependente de importações intermediárias incorporadas em suas exportações. A queda nas importações de intermediários reexportados na China não se traduziu em menor diversificação de suas exportações. Pelo contrário, a China galgou a escada da complexidade da produção, ao mesmo tempo que se integrou mais ao comércio mundial e dependeu cada vez menos de insumos importados, bem como tornou-se mais competitiva na produção de componentes. Palavras-chave: cadeias de valor globais, competitividade internacional, padrões de especialização vertical, China.
