Trade has a strategic benefit as well, for it gives countries a stake in good relations with one another and in maintaining order and stability. A China that trades extensively with the US and its Asian neighbors will think twice before it pursues any policy that would place those relationships at risk.
贸易同时也带来战略性的收益，因为它在各国之间保持良好关系并维持良好秩序及稳定性的情况下带来利益。与美国及其亚洲邻国广泛进行贸易的中国在它决定采取任何可能危及那些关系的政策之前都会三思而行。同样地，印度和巴基斯坦之间的贸易对正常化这两个长期疏远的邻国之间的关系功不可没。
