Abstract
In recent years, continuous changes in geo-economics and environment, especially the rise in global trade protectionism, have severely impacted China’s sporting goods manufacturing industry, which is dominant in international trade. Therefore, this paper attempts to examine the geo-economic environment and influence factors of China’s sporting goods manufacturing industry, and puts forward strategies to improve the competitiveness of China’s sporting goods manufacturing industry and promote its high-quality development.This paper selects indicators that can reflect the geo-economic relationships of competition and complementarity, including household final consumption expenditure (% of GDP), sporting goods import and export trade volumes (% of GDP), FDI (% of GDP) and R&D (% of GDP) from 2013 to 2018. Using the standardized Euclidean distance method, the geo-economic relationship of sporting goods manufacturing industry between China and each One Belt and One Road Initiative (BRI) country is obtained. Statistic results show that the geo-economic relationship of the sporting goods manufacturing industry between China and other BRI countries is more competitive than complementary. Meanwhile, a map generated by the ARCGIS10.0 platform shows that competition between China and the BRI countries increased from 2013 to 2018. According to the analysis of statistical data regarding the aspects of the industrial structure of China’s sporting goods manufacturing industry, geo-economics and geopolitics, respectively, several proposals are put forward for the high-quality development of the sporting goods manufacturing industry in China.
Highlights
This paper selects indicators that can reflect the geo-economic relationships of competition and complementarity, including household final consumption expenditure (% of GDP), sporting goods import and export trade volumes (% of GDP), FDI (% of GDP) and R&D (% of GDP) from 2013 to 2018
This paper measures the geo-economic relationship between the Chinese sporting goods industry and that of other Belt and One Road Initiative (BRI) countries from 2013 to 2018 by using the Euclidean distance method and studying the characteristics of its spatiotemporal evolution
In the actual analysis, according to the average value from 2013 to 2018, this paper further divides the geo-economic relationship into the following four types according to the threshold value of Dik ' : strong competitive relationship, generally competitive relationship, generally complementary relationship and strong complementary relationship (Table 3)
Summary
Geo-economic relationships under the BRI framework are bound to have an impact on China’s sporting goods manufacturing industry. Given this situation, this paper measures the geo-economic relationship between the Chinese sporting goods industry and that of other BRI countries from 2013 to 2018 by using the Euclidean distance method and studying the characteristics of its spatiotemporal evolution. According to the space of flow theory (2016) analyzed the current situation of Chinese (Castells, 1996), Hu et al (2020) built a geo-econom- sporting goods IPO enterprises and the opportuic flow model and measured the geo-economic rela- nities and challenges they encounter when marchtions between China and the BRI countries. In terms of the research on sports goods manufacturing industry, scholars used the gravity model
