Abstract

This article analyzes the changes in the Chinese economic structure between 1965 and 2017. It does so use input-output techniques and new information sources in this regard; particularly, the intercountry input-output matrix prepared by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, based on data from the Asian Development Bank. Based on the above, the paper shows both the intersectoral historical changes within the Chinese economy, as well as the role that this country has been assuming in the global provision of industrial inputs.
