Proposal Case

For my research project, I have chosen to analysis a phenomenon known as trade friction. Trade friction can be caused by many reasons and is harmful to all the countries.

I really love television play from Korea, for it is delicate and impressive. Also it can be noticed that item they used only from their own brand, including food and clothes.

Looking at the development of domestic and international economic situation, in for a long time, trade between China and South Korea will continue the trend of scale, changes in the structure of trade will continue along the present direction forward.

All of this prompted me to construct the following research questions:

1. What are the reasons that cause the trade frictions between China and South Korea?

2. What are the solutions to the trade frictions between China and South Korea?

2. Literature search

The phenomenon known as trade friction has been investigated by a number of researchers in the field of international trade.
