The impact of the international situation on foreign trade

        Background: With the in-depth development of the global economy, international trade has gradually become an important part of China's economy. International trade situation has a very important impact on China's foreign trade, trade barriers gradually changed into technical barriers. Under the current situation, China's foreign trade faces many problems.

        Different countries are affected by international economy to different degrees in different periods. For example, a country's demand for a certain commodity will change with changes in the international situation and domestic economic policies. The economy of any country cannot exist independently, it must be inextricably linked with the international economy. Entering the 21st century, our country has gained many opportunities. We should strengthen cooperation with other countries to achieve mutual benefit and meet the challenges brought to China by international trade.

The influence of current international trade situation on China's foreign trade

1 China's foreign trade is growing rapidly, and the proportion of China's import and export in world trade is increasing

        Compared with ten years ago, our foreign trade has increased significantly. The share of imports and exports in world trade is increasing. Trade status continues to improve, so that China drives the foreign trade and economic growth of neighboring countries. China's economy is highly dependent on foreign trade. National trade drives China's economic growth, promotes the increase of investment and savings, greatly increases tax revenue, provides employment opportunities and reduces the number of unemployed in China [1].

2 Processing trade and general trade gradually showed a large surplus

        With the increasing influence of national trade on China's economy, China has become the world's largest processing trade exporter, processing trade continues to maintain the largest export trade status. However, due to the slowdown of import and export growth, the proportion of the gradual decline, general trade growth accelerated, processing trade and general trade surplus is large. Processing trade has been the main source of surplus. At the same time, due to the development of domestic economy, optimization of industrial structure and changes in foreign trade environment, the competitive advantage of general trade is becoming more and more obvious

3 The structure of import and export products keeps changing and the trade surplus expands

        In recent years, the continuous optimization and upgrading of industrial structure has promoted the constant change of China's import and export product structure. Import and export commodities are mainly industrial products, less primary products. The comparative advantage of export products is growing, but the trade deficit in primary products is widening. Relevant data show that labor-intensive products such as clothing, furniture and non-metallic products have more prominent comparative advantages, while technology and capital-intensive products have less obvious comparative advantages, and the trade surplus has expanded.

Current problems and challenges in China's foreign trade development

1 Contradiction between the transformation of foreign trade growth mode and backward economic development

        Compared with the developed countries in the world, although China's trade scale is expanding, it is still an extensive economy dominated by labor-intensive industries. Export products with low added value and technical content are at the lowest end of the processing trade chain. China's processing trade is gradually transforming, but China's enterprises are difficult to adapt in the short term, unable to quickly solve the problems of enterprise processing optimization and labor quality, thus causing the contradiction between foreign trade growth mode and growth mode. Level of economic development.

2 Contradiction between import and export scale expansion and international public opinion pressure

        China's export scale is expanding rapidly, and its export products occupy the world market with high quality and low price. As China becomes more and more influential in the world trade market, other countries also start to worry about their international status, and the "China threat theory" gradually emerges. With the continuous increase of China's export volume and the emergence of new and high technology, western countries began to restrict China's export trade, the contradiction between the expansion of China's import and export scale and international public opinion pressure has been

escalating.

Suggestions on promoting sustainable development of foreign trade

1 Change the direction of trade development and play the role of economic leverage

        China should change the direction of trade development, gradually bring into play the regulating role of economic leverage, pay attention to the regulating role of the market on the economy, learn from the foreign trade development strategy of developed countries, to give full play to the regulating role of economic leverage, reduce export tax rebates as soon as possible, in line with international regulations. The regulation implements zero tax refund policy. In addition, we should gradually reduce tariffs, give preferential treatment to friendly trading partners and further open up domestic trade markets.

2 Maintain the coordinated development of domestic and foreign economies and moderate growth of foreign trade

        China should maintain a harmonious relationship between foreign economic policies and domestic economic policies, gradually bring into play the leading role of the government's macro-control, and accelerate the strategic transformation of foreign trade through investment, foreign trade and financial development. In addition, it is necessary to gradually strengthen the guidance of export enterprises' import and export market and industrial structure, so as to keep the pace of foreign trade and economic development and maintain moderate growth of foreign trade.

conclusion

        The growth rate of China's trade and traditional trade is increasing day by day, occupying an important position in international trade. This paper studies the influence of international trade on China's foreign trade development. At present, China should change the direction of trade development, give full play to the role of economic leverage in China's adjustment, and stabilize the coordinated development of internal and external economy. Only in this way can we ensure the steady improvement of China's economic development level.
