Development of cross-border E-commerce, digital finance development, and the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises

The development of Internet technology has laid the foundation for the emergence and development of cross-border e-commerce. The rise of small-batch and multi-batch cross-border e-commerce retail B2C transactions has opened up a new path for small and medium-sized enterprises to develop foreign trade economy. There is a large number of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in China with good flexibility. But in the process of developing cross-border e-commerce, SMEs are faced with difficulties in risk resistance, product homogeneity and funding. Unstable international situation, dangers of cross-border payment and high cross-border logistics costs also hindered the development of cross-border e-commerce. This paper designs a general strategy for SMEs to develop cross-border e-commerce with the help of favorable government policies and big data application technology. They should do a good job in brand building, actively explore overseas warehouse models, and seek financial support, cross-border payment and regulatory support from China government.

As China's cross-border e-commerce increasingly deepens its participation in the global value chain division of labor, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce has driven the import behavior of intermediate goods and provided endogenous motivation for the growth of cross-border e-commerce. From the perspective of the global value chain, the development of cross-border e-commerce presents a new trend. Cross-border e-commerce platforms with a single transaction function can no longer meet the needs of era development under the global value chain. This paper explores the development trends of cross-border e-commerce and its impact on the global economy from the perspective of the Global Value Chain (GVC), and proposes several reflections to achieve further development of China's cross-border e-commerce.

Based on the perspective of ITT, the development of cross border e-commerce (hereinafter referred to as CBEC) is directly related to many industries, which promotes the employment and development of many industries, such as logistics, it, production, etc. Therefore, CBEC accounts for a large proportion in economic development. With the improvement of e-commerce platform, the traditional international trade (hereinafter referred to as ITT) has gradually changed to CBEC. In the perspective of ITT, the “Internet plus foreign trade” CBEC is a modern sales way, which caters to the characteristics of the fragmentation of sales orders and the individualization of product demand. Therefore, the average annual growth rate of CBEC in China exceeds 30%, which has become a new direction of ITT transformation and upgrading. Through CBEC, ITT has broken through the limitation of time and space, which has gradually reduced transaction costs. Therefore, computer CBEC has a positive impact on ITT. First of all, this paper analyzes the role of CBEC development. Then, this paper puts forward some problems. Finally, some suggestions are put forward.

The heterogeneity test results indicate that in regions with higher levels of marketization and a larger number of enterprises, the promotional effect of digital finance on cross-border e-commerce development is more pronounced.

Abstract: The development of science and technology and the deepening of globalisation have opened up new directions for developing the agricultural industry. With the gradual expansion of the scope of Internet +, traditional trade has gradually evolved into e-commerce, and relatively simple domestic trade has gradually expanded into cross-border transactions. With the help of e-commerce platforms, sales channels can be expanded, and the share of agricultural exports can be increased. The development of cross-border e-commerce is highly valued and mutually supportive of the agricultural product supply chain (APSC), which promotes the international trade of agricultural products. Optimised APSC provide high-quality produce to meet consumer demand. Technological innovations such as big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) bring smart and efficient optimisation solutions to APSC, improving the efficiency of product distribution. This paper reviews the research on cross-border e-commerce and APSC by some scholars in recent years, summarises the current development of cross-border e-commerce, describes the problems of APSC, and proposes solutions. Reviewing and summarising the relevant research literature aims to help scholars understand the development of cross-border e-commerce and APSC more systematically and comprehensively, and to provide strong support for future research and practice.
