Social network analysis of textile trade in"The Belt and Road"countries
Based on the textile trade data of 66 countries along the Belt and Road from 2001 to 2020,this paper uses the social network analysis method to measure the network centrality,uses the block model method to investigate the competitive and complementary relationship of textile trade among countries along the Belt and Road,and uses the QAP method to analyze the struc-ture of textile trade network and its influencing factors.The results show that since the imple-mentation of the"Belt and Road"Initiative,the density of textile trade network has increased sig-nificantly,and the network presents an obvious core-edge structure.China has always been in the center of textile trade network.Before and after the"Belt and Road"Initiative is put for-ward,core countries such as China,India and Thailand changed from internal sector to two-way overflow sector,and textile trade competition existed among core countries.The influencing fac-tors on the textile trade network of countries along the Belt and Road are,in descending order,economic scale,regional trade agreements between countries,population scale,cultural proximi-ty and geographical distance.Based on the research conclusions and combined with the textile trade network pattern of the Belt and Road countries,this paper puts forward relevant policy sug-gestions to promote high-quality development of textile trade between China and"The Belt and Road"countries from the perspective of social network.
