Abstract: Over the recent years, trade conflicts between China and the USA have been on the rise with the growing bilateral trade relationship. Imbalance of economy and trade, conflicts of political interests and some other issues, particularly the policy changes since Trump took the office, lead to worse trade conflicts between the two countries. Given these, it's of immediate significance to study the trade conflicts between China and the USA. This thesis aims to analyze why and how the USA trigger the trade war given the past large-scale trade wars it started, through the methods of induction and data analysis. What's more, it studies the reasons and influence of the trade conflicts between China and the USA, and our countermeasures against it.
