When assessing the foreign trade relations between China and the United States, it is noted that China generally gives more to the world and in particular to the U.S. in terms of its foreign trade balance. When an assessment is made in the framework of the balance sheet of currency transactions surrounding the foreign trade, it is seen that the currency surplus is not as much as the foreign trade. Therefore, it is known that there is a political argument that continuously reveals that developed economies are reacting with non-tariff means, and in particular with the fact of voluntary export restrictions. In addition to the claims that the U.S. tends to bypass its outer gap to limit its tendency and the tendency of China to lower its motivation to become an important economic power in contrast to the increasing trend, the existence of new centralistic practices is discussed. In the study, the main goods groups were based on the competitive forces between China and the United States. In terms of competitiveness, China has not been able to compete in the group of heavy and expensive light goods. It is believed that this could be due to a very large internal demand. However, in this group there are signs of the possibility of gaining competitive strength in the future. On the other hand, the presence of competitiveness in the labour-hard sectors in general is attracted, and it has also been observed that it is in various machinery and vehicle and goods. It can be said that the superiority in these two goods groups isined with the cheaper labour advantage. Keywords: U.S. and Chinese economy, Balassa index, Competitiveness. Commercial TENSION BETWEEN CHINA AND USA: A VIEW OF COMPETITIVENESS Abstract: When foreign trade relations between China and the USA are evaluated, it is noteworthy that China always gives a surplus in terms of foreign trade balance against the world and in particular to the USA. When an evaluation is made within the framework of the current account balance that encompasses foreign trade, it is seen that the current surplus is not as much as in foreign trade. Therefore, the existence of a policy argument is known that the developed economies that constantly open deficit reacts with non-tariff instruments and especially voluntary export restrictions. The issue of new mercantilist practices is the issue here, in line with the arguments regarding when the US tends to overcome the foreign deficit, as well as its tendency to lower its motivation as an important economic power in response to China’s increasing trend. In the study, the competitiveness between China and the USA in terms of main goods groups has been examined. In terms of competitiveness, it is noteworthy that China has no competitive power in the heavy, expensive light goods group. This situation is thought to be caused by quite wide domestic demand. However, in this group, signs about the possibility of obtaining competitive power were prospectively caught. On the other hand, the presence of competitiveness in the labor-intensive sectors in general attracts attention, and this has been observed to be in machines and vehicles and various manufactured goods. It can be said that the superiority in these two commodity groups isined with the advantage of cheap labor. Keywords: USA and Chinese economy, Balassa index, Competitiveness.
