What policies and regulations does China have for cross-border electronic commerce?

Under the influence of RMB appreciation and rising labor costs, the financial crisis, coupled with the great blow to China's traditional foreign trade industry, led to a significant decline in the growth rate of imports and exports, and many foreign trade enterprises, especially small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, closed down one after another. In sharp contrast, cross-border electronic commerce still shows a good development momentum because of its advantages of few intermediate links, low price and high profit rate. The reasons are analyzed as follows:

Traditional foreign trade export generally includes "China factory-China exporter-foreign importer-foreign wholesaler-foreign retailer-foreign consumer". In this mode, the largest share of foreign trade profits is obtained by the circulation intermediary. For example, a keychain with a price of 1 yuan in Yiwu market will be sold to 1 Australian dollar (about 5 yuan RMB) after being exported to Australia, and 4 yuan will be obtained by an intermediary after removing the logistics cost. After the introduction of cross-border electronic commerce, the export link can be simplified as "China factory-foreign retailers-foreign consumers" or further simplified as "China factory-foreign consumers"

Bypassing many foreign trade middlemen, on the one hand, it can further reduce the price of export commodities and improve the competitiveness of China commodities in foreign markets. On the other hand, according to iResearch statistics, the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in China in 20 12 was 2.3 trillion yuan, up 32.0% year-on-year. Iresearch predicts that under the general trend of the rapid development of global e-commerce and the globalization of China e-commerce, the transaction scale in cross-border electronic commerce, China will continue to develop at a high speed, and the proportion of e-commerce in China'

In addition, the government of China attaches great importance to the development of cross-border electronic commerce. At present, in addition to Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen Qianhai and Qingdao have also been approved as pilot cities in cross-border electronic commerce. In 20 14, a series of national measures on cross-border electronic commerce will be gradually implemented, and more qualified cities will apply for pilot projects in cross-border electronic commerce this year.

Although cross-border electronic commerce's development in China presents a very good situation, and some people even boldly predict that multinational e-commerce giants may appear in China, we should be soberly aware that cross-border electronic commerce's development in China is still in its infancy, and there are still many problems.
