Abstract

In recent years, Vietnam's textile exports have been rising year by year, ranking among the top textile exports in the world. As Vietnam's largest trading partner, China has a long history of trade with Vietnam in textiles and related raw materials. The explicit comparative advantage (RCA) Index is mainly used to reflect the comparative advantage of a country's products. In this paper, an improved RCA index model is established to measure the competitive advantage of Chinese textile products in Vietnam. According to the index measurement based on Chinese customs data and data from the Vietnam Bureau of Statistics, the study shows that Chinese textile exports have a strong competitive advantage in Vietnam, but this advantage is on a declining trend.
