How to read this number

Exports of products with high research and development intensity, such as aircraft and spacecraft, computers, medicines, scientific instruments and electrical machinery, as a share of manufactured exports. Source: UN Comtrade database.

It is a share of manufactured exports, not an amount of money, so a small country that exports a few high-tech goods can rank high. Countries that assemble imported parts into electronics can rank high even if they did not design the products. It shows the kind of goods a country sells abroad, not how advanced its whole economy is.
