摘要:随着经济全球化的进一步深入，国际分工不断加深，世界产业结构不断升级。服务贸易在经济发展的作用也越来越突出，服务贸易正逐渐成为一国竞争力的重要方面。各国也越来越看重服务贸易的发展。

　　　美国作为当今服务贸易最为发达，服务贸易体系最完善的国家，在国际服务贸易中有特别重要的地位，为国际服务贸易的发展发挥了重要作用。而自2001年加入WTO以来，中国的服务贸易也开始迅速发展，但由于中国服务贸易发展较晚，基础薄弱，导致其服务贸易结构不平衡，服务贸易发展不平衡，在同美国的竞争中处于相对劣势。比较两国服务贸易的竞争力，对于发展中国服务贸易有重要意义。

　　　本文通过比较中美两国服务贸易在市场占有率、贸易结构、竞争力指数（RCA指数、TC指数、CA指数等常用服务贸易竞争力指标）等方面的差异，分析两国竞争力的不同，并给予中国服务贸易发展的政策与建议。
