A

Most countries need goods and services from other countries, and so it is necessary for countries to trade with each other. This trade between countries is known as international trade. Foreign trade is very important for the rise of the standard of living in the world. Every country must meet its needs by continuing to sell some goods and buy raw materials. Many products would disappear from some countries’ market without international trade. In addition, many factories would cease (停止) production if they were unable to get certain raw materials through international trade.

International trade is very important to consumers (消费者) in all countries. For example, imagine both a Japanese citizen and a Chinese citizen have ten dollars to spend. They both want a watch and a radio. Because of skills and wages the following prices exist for these products.

If the Chinese buys only Chinese products, he can own only the watch and have five dollars left over, or own only the radio. The same situation exists for the Japanese citizen if he buys only Japanese products. However, if they both buy Chinese watches and Japanese radios, they both can buy two products for their ten dollars. As a result, the standard of living is higher.
