Financial liberalization can bring many benefits. Since capital and risk can be better priced, liberalization can improve investment allocation and efficiency. Banks that are more efficient and better at assessing risks will gain a larger market share. Credit support to sectors with poor financial services in the past will also increase. The range of financial products will be expanded, and enterprises and households will be able to better manage risks and obtain opportunities for diversified asset selection. However, if the timing of implementation is not ripe, financial liberalization may also expose the weaknesses of the financial sector, damage the termination of activities and cause economic fluctuations. The liberalization of interest rates refers to the process in which various economic entities in a market economy independently determine the level and structure of interest rates. In essence, it is a process in which the market mechanism gradually plays a role in determining interest rates, thereby continuously optimizing capital flow and allocation. In China, the liberalization of interest rates is an important part of the reform of the socialist economic system. Opening up the interest rate transmission mechanism and integrating the dual-track interest rate determination mechanism is the main task of my country's interest rate liberalization.Embarking on interest rate liberalization reforms nearly two decades ago, China has made significant progress in the past few years, but has yet to take the final and most critical step: removing deposit rate ceilings in order to reach full interest rate liberalization. China’s policymakers have adopted a cautious approach towards the timing and sequencing of the liberalization to minimize disruptions to the stability of the financial system. Despite the slow pace of reform, policymakers have placed a high priority on liberalizing interest rates. Market participants anticipate full liberalization within the next decade to improve the allocation of financial resources and facilitate the rebalancing of the Chinese economy. As for commercial banks, similarly no matter which country or region, it is also an important member of the financial system. It directly participates in the entire market economic activities and connects the implementation path of monetary policy. It is a very important financial institution, and it has great influence on any economic system. Significantly, it is very important for controlling the development process of the market economy, the flow of social capital, and the implementation of relevant national economic policies. Many scholars try to study the effects of reformation from the perspective of buyer sides. Regarding the impact of interest rate liberalization on commercial banks, 4 three scholars, Ba Shusong, Yan Min, and Wang Yuexiang(2013) gave a very specific and thorough analysis and explanation in the "Analysis of the Impact of my country’s Interest Rate Liberalization on Commercial Banks". They concluded that the profit model depending on high interest margin cannot be sustained, in which circumstance capital pressure is increasing and pricing power needs to be enhanced.[1] Jin Lingling, Zhu Yuanqian and Ba Shusong(2012), in the “International Experience and Enlightenment from the Impact of Interest Rate Liberalization on Commercial Banks”, mentioned the changes of global interest rates and the spread of deposits and loans, and analyzed the trend of the spread of deposits and loans. It can be concluded that interest rate liberalization will affects the deposits-loans surplus of banks, and this profit model is unsustainable, indicating that a new profit model is needed.[3] In reference to foreign experience, Xiao Xinrong and Wu Yonggang(2011) published the "Impact of American Interest Rate Liberalization Reform on the Banking Industry". It can be concluded that for China’s late start, the experience of foreign developed economies is of great significance to the development of China’s interest rate liberalization.[2] Regarding risks and problems, in the "Challenges and Responses to Commercial Banks from the Liberalization of Interest Rates", Li Hongjin(2015) analyzed the problems faced by commercial banks such as the reduction of deposit-loan margins and the pricing power of commercial banks due to the liberalization of interest rates, and believed that loan interest rates would rise However, the deposit-loan gap will still shrink, and interest rate fluctuations will increase credit risk and liquidity risk.[7] To sum up, there are different opinions on the topic of the impact of interest rate liberalization
