Title: The Evolution of Global Digital Trade Rules and China’s Response

Author: Zhao Shilu

Abstract: During the new round of reconstruction of international economic and trade rules, stable and formal ones have not yet been made in cyberspace, information technology, and other fields. As a result, digital trade rules have become the focus of attention in many countries, and competition between them is becoming increasingly apparent as they fight for rule-making power. As digital trade accounts for a large proportion of global trade, it is important to improve the overall development of China’s digital trade and compete for international discourse power. This paper explores the development of digital trade and the evolution of global digital trade rules, and provides suggestions for China to participate in constructing these rules, competing for this power, and building China’s paradigm.
