Research On The Trade Competitiveness Of "The Belt And Road" Countries Based On The Perspective Of Network

With the in-depth development of economic globalization,more and more countries have started to participate in the "The Belt And Road" strategy advocated by China and signed relevant agreements with the Chinese government."The Belt And Road" involves many countries.Countries along the belt and road have different resource endowments and are highly complementary.However,some countries are also developing countries like China,and there are strong trade competitiveness between China and most Asean countries due to the similarity of industrial layout and trade pattern.On the other hand,network analysis method is widely used in the field of international trade,and network visualization method can better analyze the topological structure characteristics and dynamic evolution of the overall trade competition relationship.This paper aims to better promote the development of "The Belt And Road" strategy,give play to the comparative advantages of all countries,and achieve the goal of "The Belt And Road" countries' win-win cooperation.So it use the complex network and social network analysis indicators,establish trade competition relations network,and use the QAP analysis method to do empirical analysis on the influence factors of trade competitiveness.Firstly,this paper reviews and summarizes the literature of complex network and social network,international trade network,measurement of trade competitiveness and influencing factors of trade competitiveness,and comments on its shortcomings.Secondly,50 relevant "One Belt and One Road" countries were selected to construct the trade competition relation network between the global market and the USA market,and the network indicators and topological structure characteristics were selected.Thirdly,measure the market and product domains of trade competitiveness,and make network analysis with relevant conceptual indexes.Finally,QAP method is used to analyze and test the influencing factors of trade competitiveness.Finally,put forward the relevant policy recommendations.This study shows that: first,China still has a large comparative advantage in labor-intensive products,and has a strong resource complementary relationship with oil exporting countries in the Middle East and west Asia.Second.From 2004 to 2016,the overall "The Belt And Road" countries trade competition tended to be weaken,but some countries trade competition was fierce,such as China,Asean countries and some central and eastern European countries.The overall trade competition presents the situation of "three pillars" and the global market is obviously facing greater competition pressure than the American market.Third,the main factors affecting the trade competitiveness of "The Belt And Road" countries are still taking into account the population,the weighted geographical distance of each country at the city level,and factor endowments such as technology.In the American market,container terminal throughput and the development of finance and credit related industries are also important factors affecting trade competitiveness.Therefore,this paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions from the following four aspects: realizing resource complementarity,coping with competition correctly,optimizing industrial layout and upgrading industrial structure,strengthening infrastructure construction and realizing the combination of industry and finance.
