Abstract

Digital trade, born in the context of digitisation, is an emerging model based on digital technology and realised through the digitisation of trade methods and trade objects. While solving the limitations of time and space, digital trade barriers have also emerged, which have become a major obstacle in the process of economic globalisation. This paper focuses on the relationship between digital trade barriers and global value chains, discusses the development trend of China's digital trade under the background of "anti-globalisation", and puts forward corresponding countermeasures to address these problems: establishing an early warning system for multinational enterprises on digital trade barriers; establishing and improving the bill or draft of digital tariffs; and promoting the organic integration of digital technology and traditional industries. organic integration of digital technology and traditional industries; strengthening cooperation with neighbouring countries to increase economic resilience; enhancing China's voice in international trade rule-making and fighting for more benefits for developing countries; and continuing to increase opening up and increase the number of digital trade pilot regions.
