Since the opening up of China at the end of the 1970s, its competitiveness in the fi rst two decades has been perceived as an exporter of labor intensive, low skill products such as textiles, shoes, toys. During the last decade China achieved international competitiveness as the "factory of the world". Inward foreign direct investment and exports of parts and components began to surge. Nowadays, a considerable part of China's international competitiveness is based on foreign manufacturers in mediumtech and even high-tech industries that add value to imported parts and components and export them for further processing or assembling. The overall and subordinated indices measuring China's competitiveness suggest that important pillars of its externally perceived competitiveness such as infrastructure, education and innovation are becoming stronger. The new leadership is aiming to pave the way for technological and innovation leapfrogging in numerous targeted industries. Even if the new policy paradigm prioritises domestic consumption as growth engine, it is to be expected that industries in many member states of the European Union will be challenged by China's prospective competitiveness. Based on an analysis of China's trade and its determinants since the beginning of 21st century, the book aims to carve out fi elds of overlapping competitiveness, cooperative competitiveness, exclusive competencies in EU-China trade relations. European industries also compete with China in many developing countries. Therefore, the book provides an overview of China's interest in and relations with countries of the third world.
