英文摘要：

The trades between China and South Africa have developed rapidly since the beginning of the twenty - first Century. Being the member countries of the ＂BRICS＂, the development of bilateral trade plays an important role in the domestic economy and the recovery of the global economy. By using the export similarity index, the trade specialization index and intra industry trade index, this paper studies the competitiveness and complementary relationship between their bilateral trades. The result shows that the complementarity is more obvious than the competitiveness. Improving the bilateral trade is conducive to develop the factor endowment advantage to achieve mutual benefits. Based on that, this paper suggests deepening the bilateral trade cooperation, increasing the intensity of investment of the mineral resources in South Africa, accelerating the pace of constructing overseas economic and trade cooperation zone, and promoting the integration of trade and investment development to improve the bilateral trade between China and South Africa etc.
