Research on APEC Supply Chain Security Situation:Analysis Based on China's Perspective
Supply chain security is one of the important topics of APEC cooperation,which is of great significance for promoting the stability and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region's economy.Based on the calculations made using the OECD database,this article indicates that the overall supply chain interconnection degree of APEC shows a trend of steady increase amidst fluctuations with increasingly close cooperative relationships.The supply concentration degree of APEC members exhibits a trend of decline amidst fluctuations while the external dependency and market concen-tration show a trend of increase amidst fluctuations,and the international market dependency shows a trend of slight decrease amidst fluctuations.Among them,there is a risk of over-reliance on external dependencies in China's up-stream supply chain,and the degree of supply chain interconnection with other APEC members has been raised to varying degrees.The above analysis reflects that APEC supply chain security faces both opportunities and challenges.Therefore,APEC should promote consensus among its members,strengthen the stability of the Asia-Pacific supply chain through diversified measures and establish closer regional economic connections.
