In the history of world economic development, free trade and trade protectionism have always been rising and developing in parallel. Whether a country's trade policy is free or protective is always related to the country's economic development and the trend of the world economic situation. Since the 1980s, with the end of the cold war and the deepening of the reform in various socialist countries, the marketization process of the world economy has become more and more obvious. The trend of trade liberalization has been further strengthened after the establishment of the WTO. The non-tariff barriers implemented by various countries have been constantly eliminated, while the level of customs has been constantly required to reduce. In 1997, the average tariff level of developed countries has dropped to 3.8%, and the average tariff level of developing countries has also dropped to 12.5%. Trade liberalization has become an irreversible historical trend.
At the same time, the international division of labor, together with the world's new technological revolution, has promoted international trade and accelerated the development of economic globalization. In particular, on the one hand, the third technological revolution accelerated the upgrading of industrial structure in developed countries; On the other hand, it has greatly promoted the internationalization of production and the development of multinational companies. Multinational companies began to take the world market as their goal of investment and product sales, organize production, investment and sales globally, and hand over various parts of a product to subsidiaries in different countries for production and assembly, expanding international production specialization, Intra industry trade represented by the trade between subsidiaries of transnational corporations has become the main part of international trade.
More importantly, the revolution in information technology has promoted the informatization of world trade and injected new vitality into the rapid development of global trade. Since the late 1980s, online trade modes such as e-commerce and electronic data exchange have created a new trade mode to realize the standardization of commercial documents, electronic automatic processing and exchange worldwide, which provides technical preconditions and conditions for realizing trade globalization and enables international trade to be processed according to international unified procedures. However, it should be noted that in the face of the weak economic foundation and inferior competitiveness of developing countries, the Internet forces developing countries to make an extremely difficult choice: either reject the Internet, reject the unified procedures and standards of international trade, and isolate themselves from world free trade and economic globalization, Either accept the network and globalization when it is known that it is difficult to benefit from economic globalization and liberalization in the short term, or accept the threat that the national economy may be completely destroyed. Anyway? Website construction Infiltration into the regional economy is inevitable.
