Study on the Impact of the Opening of China Railway Express on the Development of Foreign Trade in Xinjiang
As an important bridge to deepen economic and trade cooperation between China and the countries along the Belt and Road,China Railway Express is not only an engine for promoting the development of bilateral trade,but also serves as an essential tool to advance the development of the Belt and Road.Through the CR Express,the economic ties connecting China and the countries involved in the BRI with Europe have become closer,and they have jointly built a new type of cooperative relationship that is open,inclusive,beneficial to all,balanced,and win-win.The research in this paper shows that the opening of the CR Express has promoted the development of import and export trade in Xinjiang and has given new momentum to the development of Xinjiang's foreign trade.However,there are also problems such as low value-added trade products,backward hardware and software facilities,and over-reliance on intermediary trade in CR Express.To enhance the service level of China Railway Express in Xinjiang and further promote Xinjiang's foreign trade,this paper proposes some countermeasures and suggestions for pushing forward the upgrade of Xinjiang's import and export trade,expanding sources of goods to reduce the rate of return on empty containers,improving supporting facilities,building service platforms,and playing an advantage in policy.
