In order to improve the competitiveness of China's international trade and alleviate the possible trade war with the United States, related data for 2000-2015 years are collected and collocated from the level of trade product structure of China and the United States. Based on the objective reality, and supported by the relevant theories of international trade, the current situation of trade structure of China and the United States is analyzed and summarized. Through the further accurate classification of trade goods, the changes and trends of three types of trade commodities, such as resource intensive, labor intensive and capital intensive types, are studied from various angles of change range of trade commodity structure, trade union degree, commodity coupling degree, and commodity - market coupling degree. This is not only of practical significance to the future trade relations between China and the United States, but also provides some new thinking for the future study of trade between the two countries.
