Seven Departments: Building a Favorable Ecosystem for Cross-Border E-Commerce

36Kr reports that the Ministry of Commerce and six other departments have issued a notice on implementing the 'Five Excellent' Action for Quality E-Commerce, highlighting efforts to build a favorable ecosystem for cross-border e-commerce. The initiative includes regular symposiums and surveys on cross-border e-commerce, guidance on behavioral norms, and anti-monopoly compliance support. It promotes the establishment of dual audit mechanisms ('Brand + Quality') and product traceability systems by outbound platforms to strengthen quality control at the source. The notice also features 'Belt and Road E-Commerce' best practices to tell compelling stories of inclusive international cooperation. Furthermore, it advocates for high-level opening-up in e-commerce through deepening multilateral and bilateral mechanisms, expanding policy exchanges, industry alignment, capacity building, and local partnerships, while actively participating in global e-commerce governance to advance outcomes such as single-window reporting, electronic bills of lading, and cross-border identity authentication, upgrading cooperation from 'exporting goods' to 'aligning rules'.
