Trade Conflicts And The Strategy That America Tries To Delay The Development Of China

The trade conflicts always accompany with the continuous development of Sino-US economic and trade relations. Particularly since the 2008 World economic crisis the hidden danger of healthy development of Sino-US relations is intensified.From the perspective of the development of competition, the links between trade conflicts and the American economic superiority strategies are explored. And the conclusion is that the trade conflict pressure will be the important strategy that the US tries to maintain the comparative advantage.Firstly, the relations among the four aspects as follows are developed:the basic condition of China's economic development, the impact of China's economic development on the US, the US's superiority strategy and competitive strategy and the basic conditions of Sino-US trade conflicts. A main point is given that the exerting trade conflict pressure is becoming the important strategy of the US's response to China's development.Then the impact of the Sino-US trade conflicts on China's economic development is discussed. It is concluded that the trade conflicts play a role that delay China's economic development to a certain extent and maintain the position of the U.S. economy's comparative advantage.Furthermore, the factors of the US implementing the trade conflicts strategy such as ability, costs, benefits, risks and deficiencies are explored. It is testified that it can be supported by US's power as its low-cost and low risk. In practice, the strategy can play a part in the maintenance of the US's superiority and delaying the development of the rival countries.In addition, the domestic political foundation of the US's trade conflicts strategy is analyzed. It is believed that a large number of trade conflicts with China promoted by the trade protectionism in the US and controlled and regulated by the decision-making bodies on the trade policy in the US are shaped in line with the china policy of the US's overall development strategy. And the international and domestic laws supporting the US trade conflict strategy are analyzed as well. There is no doubt that the international pressure on China trade retaliation is increased by the so called legal basis. To avoid the passive situation in the trade conflicts China must strip this "legal" appearance.It is concluded that trade conflict pressure will continue to be an important strategy of the US to postpone China's development; therefore it will be the normal situation in Sino-US economic and trade relations. On the basis of the conclusion the suggestions on the basic principles, objectives and methods on dealing with US trade Conflicts pressure are submitted.
