L'ascension du capitalisme chinois: l'interdependance n'empeche pas les tensions

In: Critique internationale, Volume 2, Issue 63, p. 113-130

Abstract

Considered in the framework of comparative capitalism, China presents the characteristics of a state-permeated variety of capitalism entirely focused on raising the country's global profile. Despite extensive interdependence, efforts at cooperation and pragmatic policy choices, the integration of Chinese capitalism into a weak world economy is thus a process entailing conflict. While the Chinese economy continues to be dependent on the historic centers of capitalism, this does not only imply smooth cooperation, a fact illustrated by increasing competition between emerging Chinese multinationals and long-established international companies, disagreements with the United States over currency policy and the disputes in which China is involved within international organizations and the East Asian regionalization process.
