The so-called "Yellow peril theory" and "China threat theory" have caught on once again. Faced with such frequent trade conflicts, we fall into contemplation. Why did trade conflicts so frequently happen? Do these conflicts merely remain at the commercial level? Or, are there any deep-seated conflicts leading to trade conflicts? What are the root causes of these conflicts? How to overcome and avoid these conflicts in the future? With these questions, this paper is designed to inquire into the root cause of trade conflicts and the constructive suggestions to settle trade conflicts from a cultural perspective.展开更多
