Abstract

This paper comprehensively constructs the high-end manufacturing trade network of 122 countries in "Belt and Road Initiative" by using the trade data of UN Comtrade2018, and investigates the position and trade pattern of each country in the trade network. Research shows that China, India and Singapore play an important role as "bridge" and "hub" in the high-end manufacturing trade network of "Belt and Road Initiative", while in Central Asia, Some Islamic countries in North Asia are on the edge of the "Belt and Road Initiative" high-end manufacturing trade network, and unbalanced non-reciprocal trade relations still exist in the trade network. More often than not, China plays the role of a trade network as a whole. The issuer of export behavior, Russia has a group trade model in a specific region, India's trade model is relatively lack of reciprocity.
