International Digital Trade Rules:Evolution Trends and Docking Logic
At present,digital trade is in the ascendant,and winning the dominance of digital trade rules has important strategic value.The alignment of high-standard digital trade rules is a key path for China to in-tegrate into the international digital trade rules system and win the initiative for future development.Al-though China still has some shortcomings in the field of digital trade governance,it has always adhered to a positive and open attitude on the issue of rules docking.As there is still a gap between the opening level of some fields in China and the requirements of international high-standard digital trade agreements at the present stage,the docking with high-standard digital trade rules still faces many challenges.This requires China to clarify the docking subject,docking direction and docking priorities,combine the characteristics of the rules and provisions in each agreement and the current reality of its own development,give full play to the initiative of both the central and local governments,conduct trials before promotion,turn passivity into initiative,seize the opportunity to form a"Chinese template"in the docking,start easy before difficult,pro-ceed gradually and steadily align with the global high-standard digital trade rules.
