COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CHINA-UZBEKISTAN SERVICES TRADE UNDER THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE

Abstract

With the successful convening of the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, the construction of the Belt and Road will enter a golden period. Uzbekistan's unique location advantage plays an irreplaceable role in the construction of the Belt and Road. At the same time, Uzbekistan's stable political and economic environment and good trade complementarity with China will certainly push the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries to a new level.

As an important part of bilateral trade between China and Uzbekistan, service trade is of great significance for the development of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. This paper provides a reference for the development of China-Uzbekistan trade in services cooperation by sorting out the current situation of the development of trade in services between the two countries, analysing the structure of trade in services between the two countries, understanding the degree of dependence of trade in services, the contribution rate of trade in services, the index of competitiveness of trade in services and the index of revealed comparative advantage of services trade in the two countries.
