Crossing the Divide: Telling China’s Story in the Evolution of Global Supply Chains 2025-12-02

Crossing the Divide: Telling China’s Story in the Evolution of Global Supply Chains focuses on how China has integrated into global supply chains. Drawing on more than thirty case studies of multinational corporations, state-owned enterprises, and private firms, the book examines China’s role in globalized supply chains in the era of Globalization 4.0. It seeks to demonstrate that China’s emergence as a manufacturing powerhouse was not achieved overnight, but rather through incremental accumulation, continuous transformation, and sustained development. At the same time, the book analyzes the prospects of multinational supply chains in the era of Deglobalization 2.0, exploring how multinational enterprises can navigate emerging challenges and forge new pathways forward.
