ABSTRACT
As one of the important areas of world trade, international technology trade is a
kind of international activity that takes technology and its derivative manufacture as
trade objects. The most remarkable character of contemporary world trade is fast
development of international technology trade. The Volume of international technology
trade increases continually so that the proportion among the whole world trade volume
arises incessantly. All countries both the developing and the developed are concerned
about the development of international technology trade because its progress determines
strength of science&technology, status of international trade, even integrative power of
one country. After reformation&opening, China once acquired some achievements on
traditional areas that have comparative advantages, especially exports of labor
denseness industry commodity. The huge surplus of labor denseness industry
commodity makes china a trade giant quantitatively at the beginning of 21st. However,
the structure of Chinese foreign trade comes to be a severe problem so that China is still
in the dry tree by reason of the disadvantage status of foreign technology trade.
The dissertation studies the development of Chinese foreign technology trade from
the angle of backward advantage as which is a useful tool to interpret the develop
problem of latecomers. Retrospecting the world economy history, it is full of chasing:
the backward countries chasing after the advanced courtiers. After put forward by
Alexander Gerchenkron in 1962, backward advantage theory comes to be the most
powerful to explain chasing phenomenon. However, to realize backward advantage,
some external condition must be necessary. In the contemporary era, network economy
is among the most remarkable economy styles. The dissertation analyzes backward
advantage of Chinese foreign technology trade from a macroscopical perspective of
network economy according to the relation among its internal factors which include
opening economy property of network econmy —Economy Globalization, industry
foundation of network econmy —Information Industry and business mode of network
econmy —Electronic Business. Therefore, proceeding with these three aspects of
network economy, the dissertation emphatically analyses the backward advantages to
Chinese international technology trade and tables some proposal with network econmy
characteristic from government angle of view.
