Which is better, traditional foreign trade or cross-border e-commerce?

Each has his own merits. I am engaged in the cross-border e-commerce industry. As far as cross-border e-commerce is concerned, it is mainly the B2C sales model. The threshold of cross-border platform is low, the cost of capital is not high, and it is easy for self-employed individuals to start businesses.

For traditional foreign trade, it is mainly the transaction between commodities, that is, the B2B sales model is the main one; This trade model requires higher capital costs and enterprises, and it is more difficult for self-employed people to do traditional foreign trade.
