Abstract

This paper focuses on the comparative study of tariff policy reforms in China and the United States in the 1920s to 1930s. By analyzing tariff policy reforms in China and the U.S., this paper makes a comparative analysis from the targets of the reforms and the effects on the two countries. Comparative study of the paper shows that although being at completely different levels of economic development, China and the United States at that time both made tariff policy reforms which share some similarities in the objectives, but their emphases differ. The conclusion of this paper is that the tariff policy is a double-edged sword and when adopting the tariff policy, governments need to follow international trade rules and define trade boundaries, avoid being affected by short-term political thoughts.
