“一带一路”背景下中国与中东欧国家开展数字贸易的思考

Reflections on the Digital Trade Between China and CEE Countries in the Context of the Belt and Road Initiative

数字革命影响全球产业格局,数字贸易已成为我国"数字丝绸之路"的建设重点。中东欧国家是"一带一路"建设的重要区域,其目前同我国的数字贸易规模较小,但整体呈稳步增长态势。数字贸易符合中国与中东欧国家的数字化发展理念,未来将成为"17+1"合作机制的重要内容。中国数字技术竞争优势的凸显、中东欧基础良好的数字市场和中国政府的持续推进将进一步激发双边数字贸易潜力。然而,中东欧内部存在的数字鸿沟、中国数字平台成本的增加、双边数字贸易治理难题以及欧美的政治阻碍等因素挤占双边贸易的发展空间。中国政府应在化解政治阻碍的同时制定差异化数字贸易战略,加强中国与中东欧国家数字贸易治理政策对接,加大对跨国数字企业的支持力度,促进双边数字贸易发展。

The digital revolution has affected the global industrial pattern,and digital trade has become the focus of China’s“digital Silk Road”construction.Central and Eastern European countries(CEECs)are important regions for the Belt and Road Initiative.Currently,the scale of bilateral digital trade is small,but it shows a steady growth trend as a whole.Digital trade is in line with the digital development strategy of China and CEECs,and will play an important role in the“17+1”cooperation mechanism.The emerging competitive advantage of China’s digital technology,the well-founded digital market in CEECs,and the continued push by the Chinese government will further stimulate the potential of bilateral digital trade.However,the digital divide in CEECs,the increasing cost of Chinese digital platforms,the difficulties of bilateral digital trade governance,and political obstacles in Europe and the United States are crowding out the development space of bilateral trade.While resolving political obstacles,the Chinese government should formulate differentiated digital trade strategies,strengthen the alignment of ChinaCEECs digital trade governance policies,increase support for multinational digital enterprises,and promote the development of bilateral digital trade.
