At present, the international economic competition is essentially ()

B. International economic competition is essentially scientific and technological competition.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, science and technology develop productive forces, and economy is the rational allocation of productive forces.

"Science and technology are productive forces" is the basic principle of Marxism. Marx once pointed out that "productive forces also include science" and said: "The development of fixed capital shows how much general social knowledge has become direct productive forces."

Marx also profoundly pointed out: "Social labor productivity is the power of science first"; "Large industries will integrate huge natural forces and natural sciences into the production process, which will inevitably greatly improve labor productivity".

Characteristics of international economic competition:

First of all, it is governed by the law of international value.

The basic content of the law of international value is that the international value of goods is determined by the average unit of the world labor force, and the exchange of goods is based on the international value of goods.

Although the world market price deviates from the international value because of competition and changes in market supply and demand, from the overall trend, the market price of commodities fluctuates around the international value in the world market.

Secondly, the freedom of international mobility and competition of production factors is restricted and restricted by many factors.

In the world market, the flow of factors of production is dominated by the law of international value, and the fluctuation of world market price causes the international flow of factors of production, which makes the resources reallocate around the world. In today's world, although the flow scale of various production factors is increasing.

However, governments and enterprises all over the world, proceeding from their own interests, have adopted various policies and measures to restrict the free flow of production factors in the world, which makes the international economic competition unable to be fully carried out. In recent years, with the development of multinational companies, the trend of regionalization and collectivization of trade has been strengthened day by day, which has also affected the international flow and competition of production factors to some extent.

Third, it will become more difficult for competitors to compete effectively in the world market.

Due to the wide range of international economic competition and the diversity of competitive environment and conditions, the controllable factors such as commodities, prices, channels and promotions that competitors participate in the competition become extensive and complex.

At the same time, the uncontrollable factors such as politics, law, economy, technology, social culture and natural environment that competitors face in the international economic competition change rapidly and become unpredictable, and it will become more difficult for competitors to effectively participate in the competition in the world market.

Finally, the state's intervention in the world market has led to more complicated and fierce international economic competition.

The world market consists of many interrelated national markets, and the battlefield of international economic competition is reflected in different national markets. As governments in various countries have adopted a large number of financial and fiscal policies to intervene in economic life in the domestic market and generally implemented trade protection in foreign trade policies, the international economic competition has become more intense and complicated.
