The Month for the Promotion of Business Integrity aims to promote an honest business culture, promote business integrity of various industries and market players. It is an important measure to implement the important instructions on social credit system by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and also an important platform to promote the development of the business credit system. This year is the 18th year of the Month for the Promotion of Business Integrity, with the theme of "Promoting Business Integrity with You and Me". During the month of promotion, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments organized 19 thematic publicity activities, such as "Business Integrity for Industries and People", "Business Integrity, Central Government Enterprises Taking the Lead" and "Trustworthy Consumption and Quality Life", which received wide attention. This month of promotion has three outstanding features: First, focusing on serving micro, small, and medium enterprises. Focusing on the bottlenecks and difficulties faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises in credit financing under the new circumstances, with the themes of strengthening the development of credit to optimize business environment, and creating a "credit plus" financing model to facilitate the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises, we offered special reports, and exchanged and shared credit financing cases, and organized matchmaking between small and medium-sized enterprises and financial institutions to allow them signing contracts on the spot. Second, focusing on strengthening departmental cooperation. This month of promotion is jointly organized by the Ministry of Commerce and other 12 departments, including the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee. For the first time, it has offered thematic publicity activities by working with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, giving full play to the demonstration role of central government enterprises and taking the lead in building a good market environment of promoting business integrity. Third, rich and varied ways of publicity. During the month of promotion, all kinds of media actively offered relevant publicity and media coverage. Through the production and broadcasting of advertisements for public welfare, sharing publicity pamphlets, online thematic activities and other ways, the concept of business integrity became more popular. In the next step, we will continue to deepen cooperation between departments, promote the development of business credit system, strengthen publicity of business integrity, actively guide trade associations, chambers of commerce and various market players in strengthening business integrity and self-discipline, and widely mobilize the public to participate in relevant activities to jointly build an honest business environment.?

MOFCOM has followed through President Xi Jinping’s important statements on developing digital economy and digital trade and taken multi-pronged measures to promote digitization of commerce. First, vigorously expanding digital trade. We have worked to introduce policies and measures to promote the reform and innovation-driven development of digital trade, strengthen and upgrade national digital service export bases, establish the digital trade standardization technical committee of the Ministry of Commerce, step up international cooperation on digital trade, and sign memorandums of understanding on digital trade cooperation with the economic and trade departments of the five Central Asian countries. In 2022, China’s imports and exports of digitally delivered services reached US$372.7 billion, up by 3.4% year-on-year, ranking the fifth in the world. Second, accelerating the digital transformation of domestic trade circulation. We have so far created 170 national e-commerce demonstration bases and given greater play to their exemplary and leading role. We have advanced rural e-commerce and further revitalized rural areas through digital commerce. We have stimulated online consumption, with online retail sales of physical goods accounting for more than 26% of the total retail sales of consumer goods nationwide. Third, raising the level of digitization in trade and investment. The proportion of cross-border e-commerce in total foreign trade has increased from less than 1% in 2015 to 5% in 2022. We have revised digital economy-related content in the negative list for foreign investment several times and encouraged pilot free trade zones where conditions allow to align with international high-standard digital economic rules. Fourth, promoting international cooperation and rule-making in the digital field. China has actively expanded and deepened cooperation on Silk Road e-commerce, and established bilateral e-commerce cooperation mechanisms with 29 countries. MOUs of investment cooperation on digital economy were signed with 18 countries, and a number of digital enterprises expanded into overseas market successfully. Among the 21 free trade agreements China has signed with its trading partners, 10 have a special chapter on e-commerce or digital economy. The global network of digital economic partnerships keeps expanding. Alongside trade in goods and trade in services, digital trade is one of the three pillars of a trader of quality. The Global Digital Trade Expo (GDTE), as China’s only national, international and professional exhibition on the theme of digital trade, focuses efforts on reform and innovation-driven development of digital trade, enables shared development of markets, promotion of growth, discussions on cooperation, and fruits for all, and contributes to greater development of global digital trade. The second GDTE, co-hosted by MOFCOM and Zhejiang Province, will be held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang from November 23 to 27. This year’s theme will continue to be “Connecting Digital Trade to the World”. Featuring integrated development of the digital and real economy, this year’s GDTE will incorporate meetings, exhibitions, platforms and activities, with one comprehensive pavilion, two feature pavilions on cutting-edge trends and silk road e-commerce, and four digital industry pavilions on digital technology, digital services, digital content and digital, smart travel. The second GDTE is now open for business registration and application. We extend our sincere welcome to all interested parties to jointly boost development on this platform.?

In recent years, the global digital trade has accelerated its development and has increasingly become a new engine to promote economic growth.? Developing digital trade is of great significance to China's opening to the outside world in a larger scope, to wider areas and at deeper levels. It not only could accelerate the digital transformation of China's traditional industries, but also step up the integration of China's emerging digital industries into the global industrial system, thus injecting new impetus into world economic growth. In accordance with the decisions and plans of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Commerce will strive to promote the innovation and development of China's digital trade. First, speeding up the top-level design and put forward measures for the development of digital trade with Chinese characteristics.? Second, building a digital trade demonstration zone, and supporting Beijing and other regions as pioneers in bench-marking rules under international high-level FTAs.
