Starting from a small scale, cross-border e-commerce has grown rapidly, helping Chinese products reach the world and injecting new momentum into promoting the construction of a strong foreign trade country. According to preliminary statistics from various regions, the number of cross-border e-commerce entities in China has exceeded 120000, with over 1000 cross-border e-commerce industrial parks and over 2500 overseas warehouses covering an area of over 30 million square meters. Among them, there are over 1800 overseas warehouses dedicated to serving cross-border e-commerce, covering an area of over 22 million square meters. As of now, China has established bilateral e-commerce cooperation mechanisms with 31 countries, and cross-border e-commerce has become an important bridge connecting the world market and a powerful "Chinese force" that stimulates foreign trade vitality. The rise and development of cross-border e-commerce is due to the continuous release of policy dividends. From the first mention of the term "cross-border e-commerce" in the 2014 Government Work Report to the eleventh inclusion of cross-border e-commerce in the government work report in 2024, a series of policy measures have provided a favorable development environment for cross-border e-commerce. Recently, the Ministry of Commerce and nine other departments issued the "Opinions on Expanding Cross border E-commerce Exports and Promoting Overseas Warehouse Construction", proposing to cultivate cross-border e-commerce business entities and strengthen the training of cross-border e-commerce talents; Increase financial support and strengthen the construction of relevant infrastructure and logistics systems.

With more cross-border e-commerce, leading enterprises, logistics companies, and small and medium-sized enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain in China gaining opportunities to participate in international market competition, it will further consolidate China's position in the global supply chain and cross-border trade network, and stimulate new momentum in foreign trade. Currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is advancing rapidly, and the global digital economy is flourishing, providing new opportunities for the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce. With the continuous improvement of the entire industry ecosystem of cross-border e-commerce in China, including infrastructure, product research and development, scientific stocking, warehousing and distribution, marketing and promotion, as well as customer service and after-sales, the potential of cross-border e-commerce will be further unleashed. Looking towards the future, developing new forms of foreign trade such as cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouses is not only conducive to promoting the optimization of foreign trade structure and stable scale, but also provides strong support for consolidating and enhancing the positive trend of economic recovery, and is more conducive to creating new advantages for international economic cooperation.
