(Reporter Sun Hongli) Today, the the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the situation of striving for stability, promoting stability through progress, and promoting new breakthroughs in high-quality business development.

　　Wang Shouwen, international trade negotiator and vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, introduced at the meeting that cross-border e-commerce is one of the new kinetic energy of foreign trade. Last year, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce reached 2.38 trillion yuan, an increase of 15.6%, 15.4 percentage points higher than the national import and export growth rate.

　　The main body of cross-border e-commerce is growing. According to preliminary statistics, there are 645,000 enterprises with foreign trade import and export performance in China, including more than 100,000 cross-border e-commerce entities. This is a very remarkable force.

　　The cross-border e-commerce ecosystem has been continuously optimized. By the end of last year, the number of overseas warehouses had reached 1,800, an increase of more than 200 compared with 2022, and the number of all cargo planes reached 255, an increase of 32 compared with 2022.

　　Good progress has been made in brand building. By the end of last year, there were more than 30,000 registered overseas trademarks, and only 20,000 by the end of 2022.

　　Wang Shouwen said that this year, to continue to cultivate cross-border e-commerce, a new kinetic energy of foreign trade, there are the following measures:

　　First, several measures to expand cross-border e-commerce exports and promote the development of overseas warehouses were issued.

　　The second is to develop "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt", encourage traditional foreign trade enterprises to transform cross-border e-commerce, support head enterprises to promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream supply chains, and rely on cross-border e-commerce industrial parks in various places to incubate more start-ups.

　　The third is to strengthen industry exchange training. This year, we are going to step up training, with 100,000 person-times.

　　The fourth is to promote the introduction of the Guide to Intellectual Property Protection of Cross-border E-commerce. In the development process of cross-border e-commerce, it is necessary to ensure that it can protect intellectual property rights in all aspects, such as head start, tail end, payment, marketing and overseas warehouse. Cross-border e-commerce is an important part of cooperation with co-construction countries in the "Belt and Road Initiative". It will support international exchanges in the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area and the "Silk Road E-commerce" cooperation pioneer area.
