In global digital governance, regional and bilateral trade agreements have become important ways to promote the construction of new digital trade rules. Based on sketching the global digital FTAs/RTAs network, we comprehensively analyzed and compared concepts, contents, and characteristics of“American template”,“European template”,“Chinese template” and “South Pacific template” agreements in the field of digital trade rules. Besides, the main differences among the four issues of digital products, data flow, intellectual property protection and privacy security in major countries as well as the strategic objectives and interests behind are fully discussed. Finally, the article proposes strategies and suggestions for China to participate in the construstion of global digital trade rules based on the current situation of “Chinese template” agreement.
