미중 무역전쟁의 본질적 특성과 한국의 대응 전략

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the ultimate cause of the U.S.-China trade war, which started in earnest under the Trump administration and is ongoing under the Biden administration, and suggests countermeasures for how Korea will maintain its status as a trading power in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. To this end, after examining the background and causes of the US-China trade dispute in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 will analyze the essential characteristics of the US-China trade war. In particular, I would like to compare the development process of the war for hegemony hidden in the trade war between China, which aims to become a dignified G2 country by the realization of the Chinese dream, and the United States, which does not want to allow a position of absolute power, in comparison with the US-Japan trade war. And in Chapter 4, I want to analyze in detail how the US-China trade war, which is in a lull due to the signing of the first phase of the US-China trade agreement, the spread of Covid-19, and the Beijing Olympics, will develop in the future. In particular, this chapter predicts the direction of acceleration of the Chinese standard 2035, which the Chinese government is putting great effort into to preoccupy international standards, and proposes a response strategy for the Korean economy, caught in the midst of the US-China trade war, to overcome this difficult situation.
