As one of the key contents of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, unimpeded trade is committed to solving trade and investment facilitation problems, removing
trade and investment barriers, helping build a good business environment for the country, continuously stimulating and releasing the potential of economic and
trade cooperation, and achieving practical cooperation results that benefit all parties. Since the "the Belt and Road" initiative was put forward 10 years ago, the
trade and investment cooperation between countries has been increasingly deepened, significantly improving the breadth and depth of countries' participation
in economic globalization, and effectively playing the role of "ballast" in the practical cooperation of the "the Belt and Road".
Continuously optimize the structure. In the past 10 years, the trade structure of the "the Belt and Road" countries has gradually transformed from labor-intensive
and resource intensive industries to capital, technology and data intensive industries. Especially after the outbreak of the COVID-19, the "the Belt and Road" trade
cooperation accelerated to extend to digital, green and other emerging fields, and the e-commerce, new energy and other industries of the co construction country
developed rapidly. As of July this year, China has established the "Digital Silk Road" cooperation mechanism with 16 countries and the "Silk Road E-commerce" bilateral
cooperation mechanism with 23 countries to promote the construction of the "the Belt and Road" e-commerce market. China has also jointly initiated the establishment
of the "the Belt and Road" International Alliance for Green Development with its partners, which has strongly promoted the green trade and low-carbon transformation
of the joint country. In the first half of this year, China's exports of new energy vehicles to the co built countries increased by 163.3% year-on-year, injecting strong impetus
into the development of green transportation in the co built countries. In terms of investment and financing cooperation, more than 40 financial institutions in the country
signed the "the Belt and Road" Green Investment Principles, focusing on digital, intelligent and green industries to help global sustainable development. At the same time,
the "the Belt and Road" initiative supports diversified investment, encourages third-party market cooperation, and promotes the formation of an industrial chain, supply chain,
service chain, and value chain of inclusive development and shared development.
Deep docking of rules. In recent years, China has steadily expanded the institutional openness of rules, regulations, management, standards, etc., more actively docked
with high standards of international economic and trade rules, actively applied to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement and the Digital
Economy Partnership Agreement, continuously relaxed market access, focused on building a high standard market system, and created a more perfect marketization,
legalization An international business environment. At the same time, China actively promotes negotiations on economic and trade rules with co developing countries,
leading the formulation of rules in emerging fields, and providing strong guarantees for the high-quality development of economic and trade cooperation. As of September
this year, China has signed or upgraded 15 free trade agreements with the the Belt and Road countries. Among them, there are 9 free trade agreements under negotiation,
and 6 free trade agreements have been studied. In particular, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) officially entered into force for the Philippines
in June of this year, and as a result, it has become fully effective for 15 signatory countries. The level of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation has significantly increased,
and more than 90% of goods trade will achieve zero tariffs, providing a unified high standard economic and trade rule system for all members.
Platform collaborative efforts. Under the framework of the "the Belt and Road" international cooperation, the co construction countries not only revitalized the existing
trade and investment platforms, but also created new trade and investment platforms, and achieved synergy between the two. After the "the Belt and Road" initiative was
put forward, China has expanded, optimized and upgraded exhibition platforms such as the China Import and Export Commodities Fair, the China International Investment
and Trade Fair, the China International High tech Achievements Fair, and the China International Trade in Services Fair, and established theme exhibitions such as the China
International Consumer Goods Fair and the China International Import Expo, giving full play to the platform functions of international procurement, investment promotion,
people to people exchanges, and open cooperation. At the bilateral level, relying on the China ASEAN Expo, China Northeast Asia Expo, China South Asia Expo, China Asia
Europe Expo, China Central and Eastern European Countries Expo, China Africa Economic and Trade Expo, China Arab States Expo, China Russia Expo, as well as the China
Caribbean Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum, China Pacific Island Countries Economic Development Cooperation Forum The innovative development of platforms such
as the China Latin America Infrastructure Cooperation Forum has formed a diversified, multi-level, and multi-channel trade and investment cooperation pattern for jointly building
countries. At the regional and global levels, co construction countries actively participate in economic and trade cooperation within the framework of cooperation mechanisms
such as the World Trade Organization, World Bank, G20, BRICS countries, APEC, SCO, and ASEM. They actively promote global trade and investment governance, playing an
important role in responding to the challenges of anti globalization and maintaining the stability of the global industrial chain value chain.
