An Analysis On The Competitiveness Of Chinese Trade In Services

The comparativeness of a nation's trade in services plays an important role in making its strategic developing plan. This thesis systematically studies the comparativeness of Chinese trade in services in four aspects of indices basing upon existing achievements by using quantitative analysis method and qualitative analysis method. Moreover, the indices have been compared with those of the five transitional countries in the same timing period. Three points can be drawn from that study. First, the comparativeness of Chinese trade in services are too weak to compete internationally. Secondly, tourism is the only industry that holds its comparative advantage. Finally, we can learn from what the Poland and Hungary have been doing with their trade in services. Then, a further analysis is paid to the industry of tourism on how to improve its comparativeness in the world market after entering into WTO. It concludes that the comparativeness-oriented developing plan for Chinese trade in services is moreapplicable.
