Abstract
The construction of the Belt and Road is shifting from overall planning to concrete implementation, which sets higher demands for international cooperation of China’s manufacturing industry. Based on 2016 statistics of the UN Comtrade Database, this paper focuses on the six economic corridors of the Belt and Road, and uses the revealed comparative advantage index to comprehensively analyze the comparative industries in these countries. Meanwhile, the multidimensional scaling method is adopted to explore the overall trade and manufacturing cooperation between China and these countries. Finally, based on the competitive industries and factor endowments of the countries in the six economic corridors, the development direction for high-quality cooperation between China and the countries along the Belt and Road is proposed.
