| Resumo: | This article examines the impact of China’s growth on the main EU automotive manufacturing countries during the last decade. We study to what extent China represents a significant final destination market and a major partner inside EU automakers’ international value chain, through the analysis of final and intermediate products trade flows, value added trade flows as well as intra-industry trade shares. The research evidences that, in a critical context characterised by stagnation in developed economies, Germany has attained a sharp increase in exports of domestic value added to the Chinese car market. On the contrary, the other EU countries have not succeeded in their attempt to build a stable industrial relation with China regarding the automotive sector. |
