As a leading hub for cross-border e-commerce, China has been instrumental in connecting international buyers and sellers through digital platforms. The country’s e-commerce growth reflects broader trends in global trade digitization, with businesses increasingly leveraging online marketplaces to reach new customers.
Despite challenges such as tariff adjustments in certain markets (e.g., the U.S.), China’s cross-border e-commerce sector remains resilient. As noted by Lü Daliang, spokesperson for China’s General Administration of Customs, artificial trade barriers cannot negate the inherent advantages of e-commerce, including cost efficiency, convenience, and accessibility.
