三、Discuss

China and India are the outstanding developing countries and both of the two countries have an ancient civilization. In ancient times China and India has trade with each other. So China and India has a deep relationship in economy. But now China and India has some problems in trade between each other. The biggest problem is trade imbalance. Why China and India do has a trade imbalance between each other？ From the perspective of the world economy， China has comparative advantage to India. Chinese macroeconomic environment and economic output are better than India. Chinese economy has considerably increased in the late 20th century. Indias economy development is about 10 years behind China. Now China already has a very efficient transportation， which its benefit foreign trade. While Indias traffic is not convenient. This affects Chinese imported goods such as fruits， vegetables and milk from India.

四、Conclusion

Economics is an important part in peoples lives which can help you make decisions. In the economic globalization world everyone is closely related to economics. People do the decision about economics not only to affect him but also to affect other people. Just like China and India， even though they are two different countries they can also Influence each other on economic issues. In the current China and India have got good achievements， I think in the future China and India will make more economic contributions to the world.
