Many might doubt the view that China is exporting more labor-intensive goods, rather than upgrading its exports on the capital- and skill-intensity ladder. But trade data suggest the opposite, perhaps because China’s accession to the WTO led to tariff reductions that released more labor-intensive production.
中国仍在出口更多劳动密集型产品，而不是提高其出口产品资金和技术密度的说法可能遭致很多人的怀疑。但贸易数据的显示却恰恰相反，可能因为中国加入WTO所导致的关税下降释放了劳动密集型产业。
