Keren Sun, Hua Fang

Abstract
The four eras theory of the use of the ocean by mankind was put forward in 2021 (sun, 2021). Based on the frame of this four eras theory, we analyze the development path and differences between China and the United States of America in the maritime economy, and have the following findings: (1) the United States of America has taken the lead out of the era of geographical barriers of the Ocean; (2) the United States of America is the last owner of maritime hegemony of the era of sea channel of trade and transportation; (3) China has made great achievements in the blue granary; (4) the United States of America is the leader of the era of human natural resources treasure house; (5) the U.S. marine economy industry has formed a reasonable regional division of labor. The overall conclusion is that there is still a clear gap between China and the United States in terms of marine economic development. China still needs to learn from and imitate the United States in the development way of maritime economy.
