has increased the share its exports in other developing countries and a significant part of the increase in the share of imports from developing countries is driven by the exports of China (see the details in Section E and Table 8). Without China, the increase in the shares of developing countries in out sample countries have also increased but at much slower rates.

Table 7 shows the disaggregated imports of our developing country sample from all developing countries by three digit industries. Again in many of the sectors the share of imports from developing countries is very low. For industrial countries the significant market shares are concentrated in two distinct sets of industries, traditional and new labor intensive activities. But unlike the imports of industrial countries, the shares of imports in total demand are quite low in 18
