Abstract

The high tariffs adopted by the United States in recent years have caused the global value chain to shift from “efficiency” to “security” and “resilience”, making the regionalization and multi-centerization of the supply chain more obvious, and the multilateral trading system is also facing the risk of “fragmentation”. China has developed along the four main lines of “market diversification, expansion of domestic demand, re-layout of the supply chain, and counter-cyclical adjustment”: expanding the “Belt and Road” and RCEP markets, giving full play to the potential of domestic consumption and investment; establishing overseas production capacity in Southeast Asia, Latin America and other places and a unified domestic market; at the same time, through means such as reserve requirement ratio cuts, local currency swaps, and foreign trade funds, stabilize exchange rates, expectations and enterprises. Transform external shocks into new opportunities for industrial upgrading and rule-making, and enhance China’s initiative and resilience in the new international division of labor.
