Abstract:

Digital trade has become a new engine for global development. Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone should take the lead in fully integrating with international high standard digital trade rules such as CPTPP and DEPA,promoting institutional openness through higher level stress testing,and providing more “Shanghai Propositions” for digital trade rule innovation and institutional construction. At present,Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone is still in the exploratory stage of integrating with CPTPP and DEPA,and there still exist a lack of breadth and depth. We should accelerate the construction of a secure,compliant,convenient and orderly cross-border data flow mechanism,continuously deepen innovation in data technology applications,establish an efficient data openness and sharing mechanism,establish and improve risk warning and prevention mechanisms in the field of digital trade,and build dispute resolution channels that adapt to international rules,develop and introduce a series of policies and mechanisms to support and guide small and medium-sized enterprises in conducting cross-border digital trade.

Key words: digital trade, international rules, CPTPP, DEPA, Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone
