Analysis on the Characteristics of Sino-Japanese Trade (I) The influence of political factors on the development of Sino-Japanese trade is increasingly prominent. Although the total volume of Sino-Japanese trade is increasing, compared with the rapid development of foreign trade since China joined the World Trade Organization, the development of Sino-Japanese trade can only be regarded as a general development. Although there are many reasons, the role of political factors can not be ignored.

Sino-Japanese trade is highly complementary.
China and Japan are at different stages of development. Japan's economy has entered a mature stage, with abundant funds and advanced technology, but it lacks resources and markets, and its labor cost and production cost are high. China is in the stage of development and rising, with abundant labor and relatively rich resources, especially a vast market, but relatively lacking in capital and technology. At present, most of China's exports to Japan are labor-intensive and resource-intensive products, while Japan's exports to China are mainly capital-intensive and technology-intensive products. It can be said that the trade between China and Japan is highly complementary.
(3) Sino-Japanese trade products Sino-Japanese trade is relatively concentrated, with mechanical products, textiles and clothing, electrical appliances and electronic products accounting for the main position.
According to the national trade report of the Ministry of Commerce of China, 1225 the main products exported by Japan to China are mechanical equipment, electrical appliances and electronic products, accounting for almost 627% of Japan's total exports to China. Meanwhile, among Japanese products imported from China, mechanical equipment, electrical appliances and electronic products account for 45,867%, and textiles account for 9: 8; 7。
(D) Japan's direct investment in China has promoted the expansion of Sino-Japanese trade. In recent years, the steady growth of Sino-Japanese trade is largely led and promoted by the rapid growth of Japanese companies' direct investment in China.
This leading and promoting role is mainly carried out in two aspects: on the one hand, direct investment in China has prompted Japanese enterprises to quickly transfer their main production and operation bases to China, driving the large-scale export of machinery, equipment and main parts needed for their production and operation activities to China; On the other hand, direct investment in China has prompted the main production and operation bases of Japanese enterprises to move to the mainland of China rapidly, resulting in a large number of products needed by Japan's domestic market being met by importing from China.
