More than 2,000 years ago, people crossed grasslands and deserts and opened up the ancient Silk Road connecting the East and the West. After that, resounding camel bells witnessed steady trade development. Today, thanks to advanced internet technology and booming digital trade, consumers only need to tap on their mobile phones to place an order, and specialty products from around the world can be delivered to their doorstep.
With the development of information technology and the deepening of international division of labor, global trade pattern is undergoing profound changes. Over the past few years, global economic uncertainties have increased significantly, not only reinforcing the trend of global online consumption but also promoting the digital transformation of global trade and logistics supply chains. Since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed, China and participating countries and regions have continued to boost interconnection, providing new options with lower costs and more stable operations for smooth global logistics.
