The evolution of the trade pattern of agricultural products between China and the United States since China's accession to the WTO and China's countermeasures
China and the United States are both important trading partners and often experience trade frictions.This article uses the agricultural trade data between China and the United States from 2001 to 2022 to analyze the develop-ment process and evolution of the agricultural trade pattern between China and the United States since China's accession to the WTO.Research has found that from 2001 to 2022,the trade deficit in agricultural products between China and the United States has shown a trend of prominence,surge,decline,and further surge.Under the state of deficit,the trade of agricultural products between China and the United States shows a trend of close integration.In a state of deficit,the trade of agricultural products between China and the United States is showing a trend of close integration.High value-added agricultural products are mainly intra industry trade,while bulk agricultural products are mainly inter industry trade.Moreover,the complementarity of the trade structure of bulk agricultural products between the two countries is becoming stronger.The export competitive advantage of Chinese agricultural products is constantly improving,but the export competitive advantage of American agricultural products has always maintained a relatively high level.The growth rate of China's inter-national market share of agricultural products is still relatively slow,and the transformation from an agricultural trading power to an agricultural trading power still needs to continuously enhance its competitive advantage.The degree of diversification of China's exported agricultural products is higher than that of the United States,and the risk diversification of exported agricultural products has always been greater than that of the United States,with relatively small trade risks.In the future,China should strengthen communication and cooperation with organizations such as the American Agricultural Association while making good use of WTO agricultural rules,and play the role of agriculture as a regulator in the trade friction between China and the United States.Contin-ue to deepen the supply side structural reform of agriculture,promote high-quality development of agriculture,enhance China's ability to resolve crises,meet domestic consumption upgrading supply capacity,and enhance the competitiveness of agricultural product exports.Seeking broader international trade cooperation in agricul-tural products,actively establishing cooperative relationships with countries outside the United States,and expanding channels for the import and export of agricultural products.
