Impact of the Level of Industrial Digitalization Development on Digital Trade:Taking China and RCEP Members as an Example
Through combing the concept of industrial digitization,the measurement index of industrial digitization,using the World Bank database(WDI),the United Nations Trade and Development Database(UNCTAD),the level of industrial digitization development of RCEP member countries was analyzed and calculated,and the impact on China's digital trade with RCEP member countries was empirically analyzed.The result shows that there are fluctuations in the development level of industrial digitalization in RCEP member countries,but the overall level is on the rise with the chronological order,and from the perspective of countries,there are certain differences in the level of industrial digitalization among RCEP member countries,showing a bifurcated situation,and there is a big difference between the developed countries and developing countries in the member countries.The increase in the level of industrial digitalization of RCEP member countries improves digital trade exchanges between China and RCEP member countries.The increased level of industrial digitalization in RCEP member countries has improved digital trade between China and RCEP member countries.Therefore,it is necessary to continuously improve the level of industrial digitalization between China and RCEP member countries,strengthen digital trade exchanges,reduce digital trade barriers,and promote the sustainable and healthy development of digital trade between the two sides.
