On November 24, the State Council issued approval to establish comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones in 33 cities and regions including Langfang. So far, there are 165 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones nationwide. Hong Yong, associate researcher at the E-Commerce Research Institute of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the cities where the 33 newly established cross-border e-commerce pilot zones are located have a better foreign trade base, and more emphasis is placed on the central and western regions and border regions in terms of geographical distribution. The establishment of the new cross-border e-commerce pilot zone reflects the government's continued importance to the new form of cross-border e-commerce business, and also shows the government's confidence and determination to further expand reform and opening-up.
