    Este artículo examina el ascenso económico de China y sus características institucionales en la acumulación de capital. Utilizando el enfoque de sistemas mundo y la literatura histórica relevante, se destaca la doble autonomía del Estado chino, resultado de la convergencia de procesos históricos: el período imperial tardío y la Revolución China de 1949. Se introduce el concepto de "contrincante semi-periférico" para describir su posición híbrida en la jerarquía de riqueza. El Estado chino moldea y disciplina a los actores capitalistas para ascender en las cadenas globales de valor, alterando su posición en la dinámica centro-periferia. Esta capacidad de imponer transformaciones profundas en la estructura jerárquica de riqueza global distingue a China como agente relevante. El artículo contribuye a la teoría política del Estado y su dinámica en el contexto global.

    This article examines China's economic rise and its institutional features in capital accumulation. Using the world systems approach and relevant historical literature, it highlights the dual autonomy of the Chinese State, resulting from the convergence of two historical processes: the late imperial period and the Chinese Revolution of 1949. The concept of ‘semi-peripheral challenger’ is introduced to describe its hybrid position in the wealth hierarchy. The Chinese State shapes and disciplines capitalist actors to move up global value chains, altering their position in the centre-periphery dynamic. This ability to impose profound transformations in the global wealth hierarchy structure distinguishes China as a relevant actor. This article contributes to the political theory of the State and its dynamics in the global context.
