When it comes to current balance, both of Korea and China enjoy the trade surplus in goods while both countries suffer trade deficit in service. This facts demonstrate that two countries have comparative disadvantages in service industry. In order to identify the international competitiveness of trade in service between Korea and China, several indexes such as TSI, RSCA and IMS was calculated, using the IMF's balance of payments (BOP) statistics as proxy. The results of this analysis are as follows. Korea has a comparative advantage in four sectors (Transportation services, Financial services, Royalties & license fees and Personal cultural recreation), while China has a comparative advantage in five sectors (Travel, Communication services, Insurance services, Computer & information services and Other Business services). Construction services are indeterminate. However, the competitiveness of the two sectors-communication and computer & information-which China has a comparative advantage will be transferred to Korea if some effort to reinforce the competitiveness is added because the gap is being narrowed.

The result show that Joennam has specialized in the product of other products of animal origin and preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, other par. The Intra-Industry trade level of Korean agricultural and Fisheries industry were in the trend of uprising with vertical intra-industry pattern dominant among them in the product live trees other live plants, edible vegetables roots, oil seeds oleaginous fruit, other vegetable saps extracts, preparations of cereals flour starch. As expected, Jeonnam region show that the high quality vertical IIT, indicating that Jeonnam export high-priced high quality products to China and import cheap low quality items from China. Finally, the innovation of production system, distribution modernization, value-maximizing strategies were suggested as a strengthening method of competitiveness.

This study has analyzed the international trade flow of medical devices in Korea, China, and Japan more theoretically and systematically through a mutual connection of the medical device export structure of Korea and the import structure of China and Japan organically, with an intensity approach on the bilateral international trade flow. Also, it is meaningful to find a solution to boost exports of Korea to China and Japan. Therefore in this study, we recognize the importance of the medical device market in China and Japan, which is the main competition for Korea and its market, and look into the trade situation of these three countries. We also look into the relative market stream and the trade intensity of the main medical devices in Korea, China and Japan, and seek measures for the steady growth of the medical device market in these three countries.

In this study, we analyze South Korea and China have already concluded FTA rules of origin. By comparison and analysis of the relevant provisions in the country of origin of signed FTA, we obtained the necessary implications of origin on the FTA negotiations that will be concluded in the future. FTA between Korea and China's opening level is much lower than the already concluded FTA's, and Korea and the ASEAN FTA has already been signed with similar concessions. However, in understanding the rules of origin in China, it is important for us that China is the first trading partner of the trade. Korean companies are well aware of the rules of origin in China, and it should be noted to prevent damage caused due to the rules of origin in the process of expanding trade with the Contracting Parties.

지난해 우리나라 자동차 수출은 74만 대를 기록하여, 전년의 64만 대에 비해 16%의 증가율을 시현했다. 또 엔고에 힘입어 금년 1-4월 기간중 자동차 수출은 34만대로 지난해 같은 기간에 비해 56%의 괄목할 증가를 보이고 있다. 따라서 큰 이변이 없는 한 1995년 연간 자동차 수출 대수는 100만대를 넘어설 것으로 보인다. 그러나 완성차 수출의 지속적인 증가와는 반대로 자 동차부품의 무역수지는 지난해에도 13억 4,000만 달러의 대폭적인 적자를 기록했다. 이는 1993 년의 8억 5,000만 달러 적자에 비해 58%가 증가한 실적으로서, 핵심기능부품의 수입의존이 여 전히 해소되지 않은 상황에서 완성차의 수출증가가 부품 수입증가를 유발시킨데 따른 결과이다. 한편, 자동차부품의 무역적자는 대일 무역적자가 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 이는 지난해 자동차 부품의 무역적자 13억 4,000만 달러 가운데 10억 달러 이상을 대일 무역적자가 차지한 데서 알 수 있다. 이 글은 우리나라 자동차부품의 무역수지 적자가 확대되고 있는 원인을 국제경쟁력의 측면에서 살펴봄으로써 부품부문의 대일 무역적자를 중심으로 한 무역수지 개선방안을 모색해 보는 데에 목적이 있다.

The result suggests that pressures for protection under Antidumping measure against exporting of Japanese products to China have increased during periods of macroeconomic weakness like high unemployment, larger deficit of trade balance and decreased during periods of macroeconomic strength.

대외경제 규모가 국내총생산(GDP)의 70$\%$를 차지하고 있는 우리나라는 명실상부한 통상 국가이다. 쉽게 말해 1만 5천 달러의 1인당 국민소득 중 1만 달러가 무역에서 나오고 국내에서 5천 달러만 생기는 것으로, 싫든 좋든 무역을 통해 먹고 살아야 할 운명을 가진 나라이다. 이렇듯 무역규모 12위의 통상국가인 우리나라는 오늘날 커다란 도전에 직면해 있다. 우리의 수출시장인 주요 교역국들이 자유무역협정(FTA: Free Trade Agreement)을 통해 그들끼리 관세를 철폐하며 더 높은 수준의 무역 자유화를 주고받는 배타적인 시장을 형성해 나가고 있기 때문이다. FTA는 이제 더 이상 선택이 아니라 세계 각국의 필수적인 통상정책이 되었다. 세계무역기구(WTO)에 따르면, 금년 1월로 162건의 FTA가 발효 중이고, 올 연말까지는 FTA 역내국간 무역이 세계무역의 50$\%$를 넘을 것으로 전망된다. 세계 제일의 경제대국인 미국도 예외는 아니어서 FTA 체결국과의 교역이 35.3$\%$를 차지하고 있다. 이에 반해, 우리나라는 지난해에서야 첫 번째 FTA인 한$\cdot$칠레 FTA를 천신만고 끝에 발효시켰을 따름이다.
