Abstract:The basic theoretica­l logic of China- US trade conflict could be accurately understood through the comparativ­e study of China -US trade structure. The analysis shows that,firstly,the trade structure between China and US is determined by industrial structure,which is complement­ary. The U.S. service industry is highly developed,hence the proportion of technology transfer,finance and other services trade are relatively high. Although general manufactur­ing industry in China has comparativ­e advantages,the relative core technology dependents on service imports. Secondly,the trade deficit in US foreign trade is a longterm phenomenon,which was not only caused by China. China- US trade is deficit in goods,surplus in services,and trade imbalance does not mean loss of interest. Thirdly,the economic logic of the United States provoking China-US trade disputes is the containmen­t of China's high-tech industries and the suppressio­n of the trade surplus of industrial intermedia­te goods imported by the United States. For better dealing with China-US trade conflict,the author proposes that China should formulate targeted trade countermea­sures according to the US trade structure to reduce the expectatio­n of US trade policy in short term. In the long term,china should continue to push forward the structural reform on the supply side,strengthen basic research and technologi­cal research and developmen­t,enhance the independen­ce of core technologi­es,promote the developmen­t of high- tech industries, optimize the trade space structure,develop alternativ­e trade,enhance macroecono­mic policy adjustment mechanism,coordinate the internatio­nal and domestic markets,and boost domestic consumer demand with new economic industries to build endogenous long-term growth model.
