Abstract
This paper examines the foreign trade patterns of the United States and compares them with those of China. The paper discusses international trade relations in general. The issue of trade barriers is presented in the paper. The paper assesses the various strengths attributed to both American and Chinese international trade.
From the Paper
"Some believe that the United States is the most powerful nation in the world, and this is largely accurate, but it also depends on how power is considered. However, when it comes to trade, and export and import issues, the United States is relatively weak in the fact that it imports so much from other countries. Generally, this is not a problem provided that all countries get along with each other well. It could become a problem, however, if other countries were to stop their trade with the United States. Many of the countries that make specific products use them in those countries and also send them to the United States (Mansfield, & Bronson, 1997). Even though the United States is an important avenue for export, there are many other countries that also use these various goods and services (Mansfield, & Bronson, 1997)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Heckscher-Ohlin Model as an example of global trading patterns and seeks an explanation for why the Leontief paradox occured and why it is that Factor price equalization does not seem to have occurred. It contains references to relevant American trading data as well as two detailed tables of international economics data.
From the Paper
"International trade is a logical and natural advance in the affairs of man. If one has a good to barter with then an optimal level of indifference between different goods can be achieved. However there is much debate about whether trade is due entirely to a relative abundance of supply of a particular factor or are there other reasons. Ever since Eli Heckscher, based on a hunch, unveiled his ideas on international trade theory, in 1919 it has been held, by some, as a satisfactory explanation of International Trade, however, is it really that clear cut?

"Analysis of South Korean Foreign Trade Patterns
Introduction
After World War II, South Korea was largely agricultural and poor, while the North had most of the industry and mineral wealth, developed largely by Japan in the colonial era (Facts about Korea, 1993). This disparity continued until the 1960s, when the South Korean economy began to industrialize and expand, at the same time the North's began to stagnate. Today, the situation is the reverse of what it was in the 1940s and 1950s; the South is relatively rich and industrialized, and the North poverty-stricken and isolated, no longer subsidized by the former USSR.
The story of South Korea's economic development is a textbook case of how an underdeveloped country transforms itself into an ..."

"Introduction
As a result of revolutions in communications and transportation, goods can travel more easily than at any other time in history. Trade patterns have changed as a result of this freedom of movement, and nations have taken up trade policy as a matter of strategic importance.

"General Motors recently announced a restructuring plan that will continue through the year 2008, questioning the long-term health of the domestic auto-manufacturing industry (PG Publishing, 2006). While the overall number of jobs available in the auto industry has remained relatively stable during the last decade, severe cuts have been made among domestic manufacturers as hiring has increased among foreign manufacturers (PG Publishing, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the trade patterns between the United States and China throughout the years. The paper examines the history of China as a government, particularly as a political and economic power in the Asian region. The paper explains that the history of trade between the two countries can be traced best through three periods in history, which may also be identified as the three phases of China's establishment and development of trade relations with the United States. These phases are explored in the paper and include early trade relations between the two countries in the first century AD, the period after the collapse of the Socialist experiment in Asia, and the integration of China into the world market.
From the Paper
"The first phase involves early trade relations between the two countries in the first century AD, a period wherein the barter system was in operation. During this period, US has yet to be known as an independent nation, and was simply referred to as the Americas. Trade between China and the Americas simply involved the exchange of essential goods that each country had-China with its supply of silk, gun powder, and porcelain, and the Americas with its staple foodstuffs. In this phase, trade was in its crudest form, and would be hampered with the increasing level of isolation that China had imposed upon itself through the coming years. Thus, after the first phase, trade relations between the two countries lagged, and eventually became non-existent, especially with the development of China in the early- and mid-20th century as a Communist country."

Abstract
This paper states that, because of the ideological differences, national security is a major political issue that troubles the U.S. government in allowing the proliferation and rapid investment in China by U.S. businesses. The paper points out that China?s large population and availability of cheap labor makes it attractive to outside businesses.
The author believes that, if China is to develop further, it must improve its core infrastructure.

"Again, China?s inability to keep up with growing industrialization and as a result growing demand for resources such as electricity can result in a dampening effect on growth, if not addressed. Another consequence of China?s rapid economic growth has been severe environmental pollution and China now accounting for over 13% of the world?s carbon emissions. Failure to check this will lead to growing health care problems, which may add to the burden of providing for the weaker sections of society."

Abstract
"China's trade surplus with the U.S. last year swelled to $124 billion up from $103 billion a year earlier. And the strength of its manufacturing sector in everything from clothing to TVs means that it is being blamed for the woes of U.S. workers." (Taken from Business Week, 12th April, 2004) This paper comments on this statement and assesses the trading and business issues between the U.S.A. and China, including the pressure for China to open its domestic markets to foreign competition, especially since joining the World Trade Organisation.
From the Paper
"Globalization has driven trade and business engagements between the United States and China to unprecedented levels, creating an economic interdependence not seen before. China is now the United States' second largest source of imports and the largest trade deficit partner. China's growing economic prowess is regarded by many as the cause of higher unemployment in the United States and US entrepreneurs express frustrations over access into the Chinese market. Despite improving political relations between these two nations, US - China relations have entered into a new phase in which issues of trade, economics and finance traditionally considered among the most positive and beneficial aspects of the relationship have increasingly become matters of dispute and friction."

"Impact of US/China Trade on US Business and the Economy
Introduction
The debate over whether or not the United States should continue to expand its trade relationship with China has heated up significantly over the last several years. Even with China's accession into the World Trade Organization (WTO), questions still abound as to the moral, political and economic consequences of such action. Concerns over human rights for the people of China, the likelihood of the Chinese government's compliance with its WTO agreement, and mass corruption among local government officials in China bring into doubt the true benefits of such an agreement.
Proponents of increased trade with China argue that the ..."

China?s Accession to the World Trade Organization, 2004.

Abstract
This paper, presenting an extensive history of China, explains that, due to its historical isolation from and suspicion of foreign influence, its long acquaintance with communist economic structures, and a general preference for protectionism, China has developed a highly protectionist trade policy that will present problems for its participation in the WTO. The paper points out that China's accession to the WTO may result in adjustment problems with unemployment and redistribution of wealth, potentially causing further social and political problems. The paper lists several important areas through which China?s WTO accession may have a major impact upon the other economies of East Asia, including increased access by other regional players to China?s domestic market, improved overall competitiveness among these countries, competition with China for business in third markets, changes in investment patterns, and transparency and predictability of trade policy.

From the Paper
"China does not yet have an independent legal and court system. The legal system must be modernized to handle today?s wide variety of commercial disputes, to protect legal contracts and to combat corruption wherever it is found. When this happens, it may be possible to create the groundwork for an independent judiciary. Then the rule of law may come to be extended. Only then will the central bureaucracy be reformed and the administration of justice be consolidated."

Abstract
"This paper discusses an article from the Economist Intelligence Unit, a publication of The Economist, entitled "China's Economy: U.S. and E.U. Get Tough on Textiles" as it relates to the price pressures on apparels in the U.S. market. These issues are examined from a macroeconomic perspective with an emphasis on Keynesian and neo-classical macroeconomic theory.
From the Paper
"Following the end of quotas on textile imports from China as of 1 January 2005, both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have witnessed a massive influx of textile imports from China: "U.S. imports of Chinese clothing swelled in January, a rush of new products following the end of international quotas that for decades had limited global apparel trade" (Chinese, 2005, para.1). While increases have been across the board, three categories in particular have seen huge increases: cotton knit shirts, blouses and cotton trousers, and these have been targeted for renewed protectionist quotas by both the US and the EU (China, 2005, para.2).

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the trade balance and the exchange rate. The writer details the general rule of economics that states a negative trade deficit normally leads to a weaker currency while trade surplus results in enhanced value of currency, although there are exceptions to the rule, which are detailed in this paper. This paper discusses the issue of the U.S. trade balance and its effect on the exchange rate of the country's currency which is currently in the limelight due to the burgeoning U.S. trade deficit and the declining value of the dollar against other major world currencies. The writer of this paper delves into America's economy against that of China's and questions whether the U.S. dollar will retain its status of the reserve currency in the long run. This paper touches on the opinions and views of economists and U.S. treasury officials who contend that the current trade deficit is nothing to be alarmed about as the country's economy and the U.S. dollar survived a similar slide in the late 1980s. This paper also discusses the opinion of the U.S. administration that believes the alleged under-valuation of the Chinese Yen is a prime source for the deficit problems since there is a huge and growing trade imbalance between the U.S. exports and imports to China. The well-researched and well-written paper clearly define the terms: Trade balance, exchange rate and reserve currency.

From the Paper
"The key question is, can the US dollar retain its status of the resrve currency for long? History suggests that it may not. Before the advent of the dollar as the world's reserve currency, the British Pound had enjoyed such a status. Between the two World Wars and the post-World War II period saw the weakeing of the British economy. As a result, the British Pound was devalued by 30% in 1949, effectively ending its run as the world's reserve currency and the start of the dollar's reign. Dollar has been able to retain its status as the reserve currency since it was relatively stable, was backed up by the formidable economy of the US, low interest rates and the absence of an alternative currency."

Abstract
This paper provides an evaluation of future international trading prospects between China, the United States and other countries through the event of the visit made by Chinese president Jiang Zemin?s to the U.S. in October, 2002. The development of political relations and foreign trade between China and the U.S. in the past few decades is analysed through a review of the developments in trading for both China and the U.S., the improvement of political and foreign trade relations between the two countries, the U.S. investment in China, China?s entry into the World Trade Organisation and the recent improvement of political relations between the two countries. A recommendation for further improvement of the relationship between the two nations is also given.
From the Paper
"Except for the period of rapid growth of Sino-Soviet trade in the 1950s, China, in the Maoist era, pursued relatively autarkic trade and financial policies. During the 1960s, when the trade of both developing and industrialised economies was growing rapidly, China?s trade was actually shrinking in real terms. Initially, that was a response to the severing of the Sino-Soviet economic relationship and the collapse of the domestic economy as a result of the economically ill-fated strategy of the Great Leap Forward. But later, as domestic growth resumed, it reflected the autarky of the Cultural Revolution, when all but one of China?s ambassadors were recalled from their posts and China turned inwards."
