扩大制度型开放促进数字贸易高质量发展

Expand institutional opening up and promote the high-quality development of digital trade

当下全球数字贸易发展正面临规则制度相对滞后、治理体系尚不完善等重大难题。本文首先从数字贸易产生和繁荣发展的基本逻辑出发,阐述了制度创新和治理体系改革对于数字贸易发展的重要性,认为扩大制度型开放是中国数字贸易高质量发展的必由之路,并介绍了中国近期在数字贸易理论和实践上的新突破;其次,梳理了不同口径下数字贸易定义及其演变历程,进一步厘清了数字贸易、跨境电商二者内涵及关系,阐明跨境电商作为一种新生态系统对于数字贸易发展有着重要支撑作用,其所拥有的重塑性力量是应对当前国际贸易中困难和挑战的关键。最后,针对数字贸易发展所面临的“政策赤字”和“规则赤字”等问题,本文以跨境电商为例,指出其在产业配套服务和政府监管政策供给中仍存在若干短板,下一步还需要在企业“走出去”、监管方式创新、中国模式规则化国际化等方面下更多功夫,推动中国深度参与全球经贸治理,从而服务于中国数字贸易的高质量发展。

At present, the development of global digital trade is facing major problems such as relatively backward rules and systems and imperfect governance systems. Starting from the basic logic of the emergence and prosperity of digital trade, this paper expounds the importance of institutional innovation and governance system reform to the development of digital trade, believes that expanding institutional opening up is the only way for the high-quality development of China ’s digital trade, and introduces China ’s recent new breakthroughs in digital trade theory and practice. Secondly, this paper sorts out the definition of digital trade and its evolution under different calibers, further clarifies the connotation and relationship between digital trade and cross-border e-commerce, and clarifies that cross-border e-commerce as a new ecosystem plays an important supporting role in the development of digital trade, and its reshaping power is the key to coping with the difficulties and challenges in current international trade. Finally, in view of the problems of “policy deficit” and “rule deficit” faced by the development of digital trade, this paper takes cross-border e-commerce as an example to point out that there are still some shortcomings in industrial supporting services and government regulatory policy supply, and the next step is to make more efforts in the aspects of enterprise “going out”, innovation of regulatory methods, and regularization and internationalization of Chinese models, for promoting China ’s deep participation in global economic and trade governance, so as to serve the high-quality development of China ’s digital trade.
