      abstract = {This paper delves into China’s differential growths in  trade flows with high income and developing countries by  focusing on bilateral content of trade data over the time  period 1978-2005.  Unlike other studies, we account for end  use of traded goods ranging from primary, intermediate, and  finished goods because China’s policies impact all segments  China’s trade flows. In the last 28 years, China has  specialized in deficits in the upstream production segments  (parts and components) and rapid diversification in  consumption goods (extensive margin). While in the late  1970s China’s export and import growth on all goods with  major high income countries is outstanding in the most  recent years China’s trade growth with developing countries  has taken the lead while China is gaining in extensive  margins goods trade.  This general pattern evolving is in  agreement with some of the new trade theory that gives a  dominant role to an expansion of the number of export  varieties (the extensive margin), which provides an  additional channel for welfare gains from trade.},
