"China as the Workshop of the World provides an excellent analysis of China’s position in the international division of labour... All in all, this study is strong in the analysis and detail of China’s manufacturing industries and may potentially impact on a wide range of academic fields. It is a significant read for academic researchers, policymakers, and students of economics, finance, and business, in particular for those interested in the complexities and competitiveness of China’s manufacturing industries." - Mark Greeven, Zhejiang University; China Information, 2013.
"Ultimately, is China a "world workshop", a "world factory", or neither? After going through an impressive amount of data with the potential to overwhelm non-specialist readers, Gao’s response is that China is much more like a "world workshop", and still has a long way to go to become a "world factory" (p. 199)." - Ivan Franceschini, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, The China Journal
