Since the reform and opening up, the foreign trade of Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces have developed very rapidly, which play a more and more important role in the whole country. But the two provinces have different foreign trade development modes .The Comparative Study of new features of foreign trade patterns of these two Provinces and the analysis of the features, the different causes and the problems of two patterns, provide important experiences for the foreign trade development of other provinces. At the same time, a SWOT analysis and an empirical analysis of the social-economic effects of the two provinces, as well as their own experiences, based on which the optimal path of sustainable development of the two Foreign Trade modes achieves, has a certain practical significance.Based on an integrated classical theory of trade patterns and the existing research, the paper will use a variety of research methods, such as graphical analysis, regression analysis, SWOT analysis and comparative analysis. According to comparative analysis of the different features of the two foreign trade modes.the study,it shows that Guangdong Province is external-force mode with foreign-invested enterprises as the main body, processing trade as the main method.,while Zhejiang is an internal-driven mode with general trade accounting for the main body and consisting mainly of private enterprises.
