Trade in services takes place between a producer and consumer that are, in legal terms, based in different countries, or economies, this is called International Trade in Services. International trade in services is defined by the Four Modes of Supply of the General Agreement on
3、Trade in Services (Mode 1) Cross border trade, which is defined as delivery of a service from the territory of one country into the territory of other country； (Mode 2) Consumption abroad - this mode covers supply of a service of one country to the service consumer of any other country； (Mode 3) Com

In global production networks, the production is regarded as a broad value-added process, and the up grading of industrial structure is mainly reflected by the transit from the stage of low value-added production and processing to the stages of high value-added R&D and marketing. Through
6、 asset-specific investments, Chinese enter prises can take advantage of the positive externalities and dynamic learning effect of global production network to p romote the upgrading of industrial structure, but the soundness of law system and the compatibility of technical standards also affect the

8、 different production stages. The paper makes a comparative analysis on the international competitiveness of financial services trade under the models of cross-border supply and commercialp resence. Our conclusions are as follows. ( 1 ) On the financial services trade under the model of cross-border
9、 supply, among the 18 economies, Chinas competitiveness is very poor, its in the last place. (2)On the financial services trade under the model of commercial presence, whether it is compared with the EastAsian economies or with the“BR IC”, Chinas financial industry has become strongly competitive. B
10、ut compared with developed economies, there is still a big gap. Finally, according to the empirical analysis, the paper puts forward corresponding counter measures on how to improve the international competitive power of Chinas financial services trade. This financial crisis reveals the fundamental
11、institutional defects of the international monetary system denominated by the USA, in the long run the dollar will inevitable depreciate. However, the USA remains the largest economy, the dollar is the most important global reserve money, in the short run the stability of dollars value is necessary
12、for the world, the aggressive reform will take the international monetary system into a more chaotic state. The bestway is to cultivate the other competitive powers such as EURO、 Japanese Yuan、 RMB as a check and balance mechanism, paving the way for a more diversified international monetary system.
13、 China should draw the lessons from the global strategy of EURO, Japanese Yuan, and create the positive conditions of a more diversified global monetary system and the globalization of RMB. 90% of which are treasury bonds and bills and secured agenc China has a total holding of 1. 4 trillion of US a
14、ssets y bonds. If the US continues its expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, the risk of dollar devaluation and replacement by EURO in the international reserve system will grow. While foreign exchange risk of dollar and its interest risk in the current recession are similar to those in histori
15、cal recessions, the stock market shows great volatility. The risk of Chinas holding of US asset in the short run relies on market volatility and in the long term on US fiscal and monetary disciplines.
