Seven Causes of International Trade Disputes:
Trade Imbalance
Accumulation of Conflicts in Trade Fields
Rampant Trade Protectionism and Increased Pressure
Changes in Economic and Trade Status and Strength
Shift of Strategic Centers Towards Economic Interests
Domestic Political Pressure
High Similarity in Industrial Structures and Import/Export Commodity Structures Between Trading Partners Leading to "Zero-Sum Competition"
Six Trends of International Trade Disputes:
Dispute Objects Shifting from Primary Products to Industrial Goods and High-Tech Products, and from Goods Trade to Trade in Services
Dispute Areas Expanding from Inter-State and State-Region Relations to Inter-State Economic and Trade Groups, Group-to-Group, and Economic Integration Organizations
The Closer Economic and Trade Relations, the Greater Dependence on Foreign Trade, and the Higher Probability of Disputes, but the Lower Likelihood of Trade Retaliation
The United States and the European Union are the centers of economic and trade disputes and the main trading partners causing such disputes
The establishment of the WTO's comprehensive dispute settlement mechanism places disputes between members under its jurisdiction
The politicization of trade disputes is increasing, and bilateral political relations are becoming increasingly important in resolving trade disputes
