  abstract: The US-China trade war is an ongoing economic conflict between the US and China that has begun in 2018. It happened when Trump began to set tariffs and other trade barriers to punish China for "unfair trade practises". The conflict became intense when the US imposed a series of tariffs to protect the national interest. Angered by this, the Chinese government retaliates with even higher tariffs imposed on American goods. Considering the importance of US-China trade war on the global economy, this thesis seeks to examine the perspectives of various background American and Chinese government and the public on the trade war, the structural factors that contribute to it and lastly, the effects of the trade war on ASEAN countries, specifically on Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines. The study uses a qualitative approach through library research, where the information on the subject can be obtained. It employs the power transition theory to identify the structural factors of the US-China trade war. The study identifies three major structural factors that lead to the trade war, namely; structure of the international system, political and economic factors. These include technological competition, Chinese Dream, American First, US economic weaknesses, Chinese economic policy and China's unfair trade policies and practices. Lastly, the study found that among the five ASEAN countries, Malaysia would benefit the most while the Philippines would receive fewer benefits from the US-China trade war. All in all, the analysis found that the trade war is happening not merely due to the Chinese faults, but both parties play a prevalent role in contributing to the full-fledged trade war. This study is significant in understanding the structural roots of the trade conflict and the effects on the ASEAN countries.
