Abstract
This paper makes an in-depth analysis of the development of international trade between China and RCEP members and calculates indexes of different dimensions to discuss the competitiveness and complementarity of trade. The results show that the trade structure between China and RCEP members is gradually changing, and the structure of export trade is constantly optimizing. The export structure of China is comparable to that of other RCEP members, among which capital-intensive and technology-intensive products have the most significant similarity, and trade competition is fierce. China's interdependence with other members is deep and growing. China's trade with the other 14 countries is, on the whole, a competitive and complementary relationship. The signing of the RCEP has brought many opportunities for China as well as many challenges. The research in this paper expands and enriches the research on the potential effect of China's participation in RCEP and provides a reference for the future development direction of China's commodity trade in the context of economic globalization.
