Analysis of the Evolution and Structure of Cultural Product Trade Network of RCEP Member Countries
In the international context of the rapid development of global cultural trade,the formal entry into force of RCEP has promoted intra-regional trade in cultural products,and cultural ties among member countries have become increasingly close.Constructing the cultural product trade network of RCEP member countries and presenting it visually,it can be found that,from 2006 to 2021,the overall strength of the cultural product trade network of RCEP member countries has been greatly improved,and the spatial pattern of the network has gradually evolved into a dual center of China and Japan,and the spatial distribution of the network presents imbalanced characteristics.China,Japan and South Korea constitute a high-flow triangular trade area with significant diffusion effects;the density and clustering coefficient of the cultural product trade network of RCEP member countries are fluctuating upward,with China's centrality increasing,and China became the most important country in the network in 2016;the core-edge structure of the cultural products trade network of RCEP member countries is obvious,and Japan is always in the complete core circle,China entered the complete core circle in 2016,and except for China,Japan,South Korea and Singapore,other countries are always located in the complete edge circle,while Singapore shows the role of the turnover node forming a connecting link between the preceding and the following;the distribution of subgroups of the cultural product trade network of RCEP member countries is characterized by the integration of the temporal split characteristics and the spatial geographic continuity,and the East Asian subgroups including China,Japan and other six countries are the largest and most competitive subgroups in the network.The study on the evolution and structure analysis of the cultural product trade network of RCEP member countries is of great significance in promoting the high-quality development of cultural trade in the RCEP region and deepening the cultural connection and the construction of the community with a shared future in the region.
