Abstract:The Trump administration, under the guiding ideology of 'US priority', intends to launch a trade war with China to revitalize the US manufacturing industry and create more job opportunities for grass-root workers. In fact, it is a war of employment behind the trade war. For China, the Sino-US trade war will certainly have a significant impact on the domestic employment due to its heavy dependence on the US trade. In extreme cases, 2.9 to 5.8 million jobs will be reduced in the China's labor market. Thus, negotiations and consultations are the best strategies to resolve the current trade disputes. Hence, to reduce the impacts of trade war on China's employment market, corresponding measures should be taken and these measures include the strategies of further expanding "One Belt and One Road", reducing trade dependence on a few countries, and accelerating innovation-driven strategies, and so on.
