중국 문화산업 무역과 한중관계

Abstract

Purpose: Most of Korea's researches on China’s cultural industry have aimed at advancing for China unilaterally. Thus, Korea's export competitiveness and China’s barriers to entry need to be examined. This study analyzes China and Korea’s cultural industrial export competitiveness in the global market and the intensity of trade in cultural industry between the two countries. Composition/Logic: First, followed by preceding studies on cultural industry trade in Korea and China. Analyses of the concepts and methods are discussed thereafter. The main analysis as an indicator of trade competitiveness, intensity of trade and export growth factors. Finally, policy implications and conclusion are presented. Findings: China maintains a huge trade surplus in the world trade in cultural products. In contrast, Korea shows a trade deficit. Moreover, China in the world trade, except the audiovisual products sector - handicrafts, performing art, visual art, and new media - have strong export competitiveness. Especially in the field of design is stronger. China also maintains strong competitiveness. However, Korea is not as competitive in the Chinese market. Moreover, Korea's competitiveness in the global market is weak, and thus, most of the items face a trade deficit. The impact of even more from China is growing. In Korea, with competitive items specializing in yarn craft and architectural design as well. Korea’s trade intensity index for China has a value smaller than 1. This finding indicates that South Korea’s exports hardly focused on China. Thus, Korea’s cultural industry needs to further increase emphasis on China. Originality/Value: Previous studies focused on China’s competitiveness in the global market. However, China and Korea failed to deal with intensity of trade. In order to resolve such issues, this study uses the classification and data analysis in UNCTAD.
