China Bringing the "Chinese Digital Trade Model" to the World

According to a report published by the McKinsey Global Institute, titled "China's Digital Economy: A Leading Global Force," the digital transformation in China does not only have a profound impact on its own economy, but will also affect the global digitalization process.

Ms. Diane Wang pointed out that, in the era of the new globalization and "Internet+," internet enterprises in China are leading the trend of digital trade. With 13 years of best practices and innovation, DHgate created the Digital Trade Intelligence System (DTIS), which includes

• The nation-to-nation bilateral cooperation on digital trade such as the China-Turkey and China-Peru agreements initiated by DHgate, with the aim to facilitate cross-border trade through digital platforms, including custom clearance, inspection and quarantine, tariff and currency exchange, etc.
• A global capacity building program for digital trade to enable entrepreneurs to access global markets through digital platforms, and
• Innovative business models such as the intelligent Digital Trade Center (DTC) - the online-offline integrated cross-border trade solution center.

Overall, these best practices and innovations could be replicated in more economies, and the digital trade business model and industry standards created by DHgate will contribute to build the new global business model and global standards.
