And kinds of research home and abroad about the relationship between international trade and resource and environment are reviewed. Then an analysis frame of the relationship between international trade and natural resource and environment is established on the basis of the amendment of H-O theory. And the outcome of theoretic analysis is that -the ratio of price and the ratio of content of natural resource of the import goods and export goods determine the affect the international trade gives on the natural resource and environment. When the ratio of price between the export goods and the import goods is higher than the ratio of content of natural resource between the export goods and import goods, the international trade benefits the sustainable ability of natural resource and environment ;and vice versa.

According to the analysis outcome, the suggestions about how to keep China's sustainable ability of natural resource and environment and economy are put on after a review of China's trade policy.
