Reserach On The Relationship Between China's Manufacturing Competitiveness And Sino-american Trade Conflicts

The outbreak of the Sino-American trade war has not only changed the external environment for China's industrial upgrading and economic construction,but has also brought greater uncertainty to the growth of the global economy.The key to determining the future of the Sino-American trade war is the real cause of its outbreak.This dissertation analyzes the cause based on the changes in the economic interests of China and the United States.The existing research papers analyze the causes of Sino-American trade war from multiple angles,and the main conclusions are that the United States wants to contain China's economic development,and suppress the development of China's emerging industries,and solve the domestic economic problems of itself,etc.However,there are few articles analyzing the occurrence of Sino-American trade conflicts from the perspective of the development of China's industrial competitiveness.This dissertation not only further complements and enriches the theoretical explanation of trade friction,through clarifying the transmission mechanism of manufacturing competitiveness of low-productivity country to international trade friction,but also helps China to find out positive and effective measures to address the Sino-American trade war,which may ensure the stable growth of the Chinese economy.This dissertation takes Sino-American trade frictions that China has faced since its entry into the WTO as the research object,and investigates the relationship between China's manufacturing competitiveness and Sino-American trade conflicts,based on the development of the manufacturing industry in China and the United States.According to the above logic,this dissertation gives a systematic analysis of the relationship between the improvement of China's emerging industry competitiveness and the outbreak of Sino-American trade war.Firstly,this dissertation clarifies the relationship between manufacturing competitiveness and international trade conflict in theory.According to the Baldwin model,from the perspective of a country as a whole,the improvement of the manufacturing competitiveness can bring about the widening and deepening of capital.According to classical theories such as the Romer model and the learning-by-doing model,the increase of capital is the guarantee of technological progress,and it will lead to the upgrading of the factor endowment structure.The Rybczynski theorem and the Bond,Trask & Wang model both show that the change in factor endowment will alter the internal structure of manufacturing and export commodity structure.According to the Gomory-Baumol model,when the low-productivity country becomes the producer of more industries,the interest of high-productivity country will be affected.If the economic and trade relation between the two countries is in conflict zones,as the interest of one country rises,the other will fall.So,in order to protect its own interest,the country with high productivity will adopt trade policies to intervene the relation between the two countries,relying on the favorable position.Then,the trade conflict occurs.When the injury of high-productivity country extends to the threat of economic security and national security,trade conflict will upgrade,and even turn into a trade war.It should be noted that the productivity increase in low-productivity country is the result of market competition,and the intervention of high-productivity country leads to the occurrence of trade frictions.Secondly,this dissertation analyzes the manufacturing competitiveness of China and the United States and reviews the development history of Sino-American trade conflicts.Through the analysis,it is found that China has an obvious competitive advantage in traditional industries,but it is weakening,and the competitiveness of high-tech industries is constantly improving.The international competitiveness of American technology-intensive products is declining,especially since 2009.The development of Sino-American trade conflicts also shows significant differences,taking the financial crisis of 2008 as the dividing line,and the focus industries have begun to shift from traditional industries to high-tech industries.So the improvement of China's manufacturing competitiveness and the development of Sino-American trade frictions are related in terms of time.Thirdly,this dissertation analyzes the economic roots of the outbreak of Sino-American trade conflicts from the perspective of manufacturing competitiveness.Through the analysis,it is found that both the conflicts before and after the financial crisis of 2008,are closely related to the improvement of China's manufacturing competitiveness.But the influence path is different.The reason for the trade conflicts in traditional industries is that the United States is an important export market for Chinese goods,so that its domestic industry is affected by Chinese goods,and the high adjustment cost pushes the United States to launch trade conflicts.The root cause for the trade conflicts in high-tech industries is also the improvement of China's manufacturing competitiveness.However,the interests that the United States wants to protect are different,which are leadership and monopoly profit in the global industrial chain.Therefore,the trade conflicts of high-tech industries are more intense.The improvement of China's emerging industry competitiveness has affected the leadership and monopoly interest of the United States in the future.It is the economic root of this Sino-American trade war.The characteristics of new technology and the changes in the international political and economic structure that the improvement of China's manufacturing competitiveness has brought,have intensified the contradictions between China and the United States in the political and security fields.The collision of these factors with American nationalism leads to the outbreak of this Sino-American trade war.Fourthly,this dissertation analyzes the impact of Sino-American trade war on the competitiveness of China's emerging industries.Through combing the source theories of competitive advantage,this dissertation summarizes the driving factors of the competitiveness of emerging industries,and uses it as an analytical framework to discuss the possible influence of the competitiveness of China's emerging industries that this trade war will bring.Through the analysis of Huawei's growth,it is found that the critical factors for the development of enterprises and industries are development strategies and the quality of products.Therefore,as long as the enterprises of China's emerging industries adhere to technological innovation and strive to improve themselves,then they can turn the negative impact into driving force for growth this time.Finally,this dissertation summarizes the conclusions,and discusses the prospect of this Sino-American trade war.At last,this dissertation puts forward some suggestions.
