| With the wave of world economic integration,tariff barriers to trade are gradually decreasing,but there are still technical,policy and procedural barriers to international trade due to differences in infrastructure,policy regimes and regulatory procedures.The construction of trade facilitation is an important part of removing barriers to the free flow of goods,services and information on a global scale.The textile industry,as one of the first important export industries opened up in China,created a breakthrough contribution to the development of China’s international trade.At present,with the domestic economic development and the world situation changes,China’s demographic dividend loss and other factors lead to the decline of China’s textile export trade advantages,the United States,the European Union and other traditional markets on China’s textile export trade pulling role began to decline,the urgent need to seek new opportunities to increase new momentum for China’s textile export trade.In particular,Southeast Asia and South Asia have become new markets for China’s textile exports in recent years,and the scale of export trade is huge and showing an obvious rising trend,but it is worth noting that the level of trade facilitation in these countries is generally not high.Accordingly,this paper conducts a study on the impact of trade facilitation on China’s textile exports.In the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative,the textile trade between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road" has become closer and closer in recent years,so this paper selects the data of 54 countries along the "Belt and Road" from2010 to 2019.Therefore,this paper selects the data of 54 countries along the "Belt and Road" from 2010 to 2019 for research.This paper firstly compares the relevant literature and reviews the relevant theories at home and abroad,based on which the influence mechanism of trade facilitation in importing countries on China’s textile exports is clarified and the theoretical foundation is laid for the subsequent empirical study;secondly,this paper analyzes the current situation of China’s textile exports in the world and in the countries along the "Belt and Road";Then,with reference to the practices of other scholars and combined with the research direction of this paper,suitable primary and secondary indicators are selected to construct a trade facilitation evaluation system,and the annual trade facilitation scores of each importing country from 2010 to 2019 are further measured by principal component analysis.dimension,trade facilitation level indicator sub-dimension,different kinds of textiles perspective and trade potential perspective,the impact of importing countries’ trade facilitation level on China’s textile exports is studied.The main findings are as follows: first,trade facilitation in importing countries has a significant positive promotion effect on China’s textile exports;second,each level indicator of trade facilitation level in importing countries has a promotion effect on China’s textile exports,but the promotion effect is different,among which the promotion effect of financial service and internet environment indicator,logistics and infrastructure indicator and customs environment indicator is more obvious,and the promotion effect of government regulation environment indicator is The promotion effect is weaker.Thirdly,trade facilitation in importing countries has a significant promotion effect on China’s textile exports of different types,most significantly on raw materials and manufactured textiles,and less on apparel textiles.Fourth,the overall trade potential of the regions along the "Belt and Road" is large,but there are differences in the boosting effect of trade facilitation level in different regions on China’s textile export trade,among which the trade potential of Southeast Asia,West Asia and North Africa,Central Asia and South Asia are more prominent.According to the research findings,this paper puts forward the following policy recommendations: first,it is recommended that China play the role of China to continuously promote regional cooperation in trade facilitation;second,pay attention to the trade facilitation information of each country and develop differentiated export strategies;third,promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry and optimize the export structure;fourth,implement diversified cooperation strategies to deeply explore the regional trade potential. |
