Now traditional foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce compared to which is more promising?

Personally, I think it is cross-border e-commerce. In fact, traditional foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce have their own advantages and disadvantages, the following briefly.

Traditional foreign trade:

Good: China's traditional foreign trade development to the present, has long grown into one of the main sources of state finances, after many years of precipitation, has a large number of professional foreign trade personnel and factories, various industries in the global market to expand broadly in the global manufacturing industry, China, regardless of the high school and low-grade, all have its figure, the industrial chain is quite complete.

Inferior: 1> the product itself - the main part of the foreign trade products are still concentrated in the medium and low grade. 2> cost - the local labor costs rise, and Southeast Asia, India, etc. because of labor costs cause great pressure on the Chinese manufacturing. 3> the cost of labor in China - the local labor costs, and India. Cause a lot of pressure. 3> Branding - in the product branding, promotion and other aspects of the efforts are not enough, OEM is the mainstream of many factories, with the global economic downturn over the years, the factory order margins are extremely low.

Personally, I believe that in the traditional foreign trade enterprises can survive only a few ways: product branding; channel diversification (sales, promotion, etc.); product upgrading (upgrade product technology, abandon low-end products, low-end processing plants relocated to Southeast Asia and other places).

Cross-border e-commerce:

Us: 1> national policy encouragement: June 20, the State Council issued the "General Office of the State Council on the promotion of cross-border e-commerce healthy and rapid development of the guiding opinions," Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou and other cities approved cross-border e-commerce pilot. 2> market: the traditional foreign trade with the giant Alibaba, the domestic B2C have Taobao Jingdong and other giants, and cross-border e-commerce in the two years of emergence, or the age of the herd. 3> operation process: cross-border e-commerce with the bonded area with the current process of product circulation, in advance of the use of big data to calculate the amount of product shipments, brought up in the bonded warehouse stocking, saving the production of the flow of time. 4> technology: the previous era of e-commerce development to complete the accumulation of the necessary technology, the current era of big data Rise.

Disadvantages: 1> National policy: cross-border e-commerce involves customs, state inspection, state tax, foreign management and other departments, the department involved more, and the introduction of substantive guidance is not much, although the country led the support, many of the policies are still in the process of development. 2> Experience: currently in the pilot stage, the country does not have a fully successful case for reference to the implementation of the lack of professionals. 3> Cross-border other difficulties: the development of cross-border e-commerce in the previous era to complete the accumulation of the necessary technology. gt; cross-border other difficulties: logistics clearance (although bonded stocking can be solved, in terms of more details need to be resolved with the customs), payment (payment methods), product quality and so on.
