Comparison of International Competitiveness on Service Trade between China and Germany

The development level of services trade has become a key indicator to measure the trade strength of a country. In recent years, the development of services trade of Sino-Germany has a strong similarity. Therefore, this paper uses the display and analysis indexes to compare the international competitiveness of service trade between the two countries based on the service trade data of Sino-Germany from 2000 to 2010. It is concluded that the disparity of international competitiveness of service trade between China and Germany is mainly reflected in the gap of the modern service trade sector between the two countries. Specifically, the insurance and financial service is the largest-gap ones of the two countries, while ICT information communications and technology service is the smallest-gap ones. Finally it puts forward suggestions to improve the international competitiveness of China service trade based on the above conclusions.
