How is East-west Collaboration and Targeted Assistance Made Possible?Case Study on the Development of E-commerce Industry in Aksu City,Xinjiang
East-west collaboration and pairing assistance are pivotal strategies for addressing regional development imbalances in China.This paper employs a case study of Hangzhou city's efforts to foster the e-commerce industry in Aksu,Xinjiang,and constructs a framework for cross-boundary development networks based on actor-network theory.The aim is to investigate the implementation logic of east-eest collaboration and pairing assistance within the digital economy context.The research reveals that the logic of implementation for east-west collaboration and pairing assistance is demonstrated in the creation of a cross-border development network.This involves integrating entities,merging virtual and physical elements,aligning industries,and transitioning from points to areas.By breaking through the barriers of organizational,physical,industrial,and geographical boundaries,this approach achieves a positive synergy between the supporting and recipient regions,thereby further advancing the development of local competitive industries.
