The total trade volume of Vietnam's agricultural complementarity index, the inter-industry and intra-industry products increased from USD 13.714 billion in 2006 to USD trade complementarity index are adopted to analyze the 43.676 billion in 2015, with an increase of nearly 3.18 times. competitiveness and complementarity of agricultural product This shows that agriculture is still an important industry for trade between China and Vietnam from 2006 to 2016. It’s found both countries, and they both still attach importance to the in study that the trade volume of China-Vietnam agricultural development of agricultural product trade. With the products has continuously increased, but China has been in a deficit state for a long time; from the perspective of introduction of “the Belt and Road” strategy in 2010, it has competitiveness and complementarity, the overall greatly promoted the development of China’s trade with complementarity of China-Vietnam agricultural product trade is countries along the route, which has a great impact on China’s relatively low, but there is a two-way trade relation between trade of agricultural products with countries along the route. some types of agricultural products. China-Vietnam agricultural agricultural product trade and cooperation plays an important product trade is dominated by intra-industry trade and role in bilateral trade. In such context, studying the supplemented by inter-industry trade, and the overall intra- competitiveness and complementarity of China-Vietnam industry China-Vietnam trade complementarity is higher than agricultural product trade has certain practical significance. that of inter-industry trade complementarity. In studies on the competitiveness and complementarity of Keywords—“The Belt and Road”; agricultural product trade; product trade, scholars mostly use the revealed comparative competitiveness; complementarity advantage index, the export similarity index and other empirical comparative indices to study the trade situation between China and ASEAN, West Asia, South Asia, Central I. INTRODUCTION Asia, and the United States. There is less study on Vietnam, known as the "Gold Mountain and Silver Sea", is competitiveness and complementarity of China-Vietnam bordered by Yunnan and Guangxi in China. The China- agricultural product trade. In this paper, not only the several Vietnam borderline is longer than 1400 kilometers. The important trade indices mentioned above are adopted, but also adjacency of geographical location has greatly promoted the the revised intra-industry, intra-industry trade development of bilateral trade between the two countries. complementarity indices proposed by Chen Xiulian (2011) in Since the normalization of diplomatic relations between China the study of China-ASEAN service trade are used for and Vietnam in 1991, the scale of trade between the two reference, so as to make a more comprehensive and in-depth countries has continued to grow rapidly.

The comprehensive trade complementarity index, inter-industry growth rate of agricultural products from 2009 to 2010 and intra-industry trade complementarity indices to analyze reached 50.59%, partly due to the promotion of trade policies the complementarity of China-Vietnam agricultural product of the two countries in 2010, such as “the Belt and Road” trade; finally it analyzes the situation and draws conclusions, proposed by China and the official establishment of China- and proposes policy and recommendations to promote China- ASEAN Free Trade Area. However, in the trade of Vietnam agricultural product trade. agricultural products between China and Vietnam, China is basically in a trade deficit, and the level of deficit is in II.
