Research on the Relocation Paths of Xinjiang's Typical Manufacturing Industry from the Value-chain Perspective
Amidst the restructuring of the world order,China has proposed expediting the implementation of a"dual circulation"devel-opment pattern.One of the crucial strategies for achieving it is to scientifically guide the redistribution of domestic value chains across different regions.Moreover,as an essential conduit for energy and resources and a vital processing base for primary products in China,Xinjiang is playing an increasingly significant role as a gateway,transit point,and hub in the"dual circulation"development pattern.Thus,based on the proposed new measurements for industry relocation,this paper estimates the value of industry relocation between Xin-jiang and other provinces in China from 2012 to 2017,exploring the heterogeneity of the relocation path for Xinjiang's typical labor-in-tensive industry,"textiles",and capital-intensive industry,"metal smelting and calendaring products".Empirical findings show that,for labor-intensive industries with high employment,Xinjiang should continue to participate in industry relocation driven by both interme-diate inputs and final products,and transform the industrial upgrading mode from the market share expansion to the industrial chain ex-tension;for capital-intensive industries with high energy and resource inputs,the focus should primarily be on increasing industry reloca-tion driven by final products,while also extending and complementing the industrial chain of core products.
