Since the international financial crisis in 2008, the recovery of the world economy has been sluggish, global trade has continued to be sluggish, and many foreign trade enterprises have felt operating pressure. At present, the latent contradictions, risks and instability of the world economy are still increasing. First, the quantitative easing monetary policy, the structural policy of reindustrialization, and the strategy of "trans two oceans" (TPP, TTIP) free trade area adopted by major developed economies all have strong spillover effects of beggar thy neighbor, protectionism, and risk shifting. Second, the current sharp drop in global oil prices, the increase in the US dollar debt burden, and the volatility of commodity prices indicate that risks in the world economy are accumulating. Third, today's world economy has obviously been divided into two parts: the over virtualized economy and the entity based economy. International speculative capital seeks opportunities among countries' economies that lack macroeconomic policy coordination and waits for opportunities to launch attacks. In the global economic downturn, China's economic development has entered a new normal. For China, this is a new stage of moderate decline in growth and accelerated transformation and upgrading. In the context of the global economic downturn and China's economic development entering the new normal, China's foreign trade must also accelerate the transformation and upgrading. Foreign trade enterprises can seize the opportunity of transformation and development by grasping this trend change, facing difficulties and pressures, and taking the initiative to make adjustments.

Since the "13th Five Year Plan" period, China's foreign trade development has entered a decisive stage, which will realize the transformation from sweat driven to innovation driven, from OEM to self-reliance, and from a Chinese perspective to a global perspective.

The focus of foreign trade will change. While improving the export efficiency of goods and services trade, we will pay more attention to expanding imports; We will pay more attention to "going global" while introducing capital, intelligence, technology and systems; While promoting all-round international cooperation, we will pay more attention to expanding the opening to Asia, Africa and Latin America; While realizing the basic balance of international payments, we will pay more attention to improving the market formation and decision mechanism of RMB exchange rate, interest rate and price.

The way of foreign trade will change. In recent years, the proportion of processing trade in foreign trade imports and exports has declined significantly. In the past 10 years, the proportion of processing trade exports at the low end of the global value chain in China's total exports has declined from 55% to 35%, and will continue to decline in the future. General trade not only turned from trade deficit to surplus, but also accounted for 54% of the total import and export value.

The structure of foreign trade will undergo major changes. In 2015, the import and export volume of China's private enterprises accounted for 37% of the total foreign trade value, which will continue to increase; The proportion of mechanical and electrical products exports in the total export value increased to 57.7%, while the proportion of labor-intensive products in the total export value showed a downward trend in the same period.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Outline of the 13th Five Year Plan put forward that "conforming to the trend of China's economy deeply integrating into the world economy" and "developing a higher level open economy". China will accelerate the pace of "going global" and the construction of the "Belt and Road" to promote high-level two-way opening. For foreign trade enterprises, there are huge business opportunities.

China's foreign trade has entered a new stage in which capital export drives commodity export. Enterprises that adapt to this trend will achieve greater development. From the perspective of national policy orientation, in 2001, the state encouraged enterprises to develop overseas processing trade and cooperate in developing domestic scarce resources; In 2006, the country encouraged foreign trade products to diversify their origins and enterprises to participate in overseas infrastructure construction; In 2011, the state encouraged enterprises to create international marketing networks and brands, and attach importance to local people's livelihood and social responsibilities. The Outline of the 13th Five Year Plan clearly states: support enterprises to expand overseas investment and deeply integrate into the global industrial chain, value chain and logistics chain. This means that China will drive enterprises to carry out global trade layout, supply chain layout and international cooperation layout of high-end factors through capital output.

China's foreign trade has entered a new stage of expanding the "Belt and Road" cooperation, providing major opportunities for foreign trade enterprises to expand their development space. China's opening up is entering a new stage of all-round cooperation with Asia, Africa and Latin America. This requires Chinese enterprises to further strengthen the global comprehensive operation capability of independent innovation, independent brand and independent channel; Further enhance the ability to control and resolve international institutional risks, operational risks, market risks and political risks; Further enhance the ability to develop inclusive trade, green trade and cooperative trade; We will further enhance our ability to build new rules conducive to equality, inclusiveness and shared development while following the prevailing international rules and standards.

China's foreign trade has entered a new stage of vigorously promoting free trade zone cooperation, which will create a fair international competitive environment conducive to the development of foreign trade enterprises. By accelerating the implementation of the free trade zone strategy, China will gradually build a network of high standard free trade zones based on the surrounding areas, radiating the "Belt and Road" and facing the world, so as to create a fairer international competitive environment for the development of China's foreign trade enterprises and create good conditions for the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade enterprises.
