and bolstering the competitiveness of products. The
path to research, development, and innovation within
digital technologies is marked by lengthy cycles,
substantial investment requirements, and uncertain
returns. Consequently, the effective employment of
digital technology across various domains such as
production, logistics, payment systems, and
management is paramount to achieving cost
efficiency and enhanced productivity (Saeed, 1998).
Furthermore, the development and refinement of
current cross-border trade pilot zones and e-
commerce systems reveal substantial opportunities
for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. It
necessitates a comprehensive coordination among
customs, national taxation bodies, and inspection
agencies. It's essential to prioritize the development
of public information service platforms to create an
enabling environment for cross-border e-commerce.
Improving the integration and efficiency of cross-
border trade pilot zones, as well as boosting industrial
competitiveness, are crucial measures for maintaining
strong international connections. Such efforts not
only refine the operational structure but also lay the
groundwork for future innovations in cross-border
trade.
Third, the establishment of relevant trade
cooperation mechanisms between countries is
conducive to reducing tariff barriers, providing free
and convenient space for trade exchanges, and
effectively reducing trade costs. Combined with
geographical advantages, trade cooperation has
driven the digital competitiveness of countries along
the "Belt and Road", narrowing the marginal trade
differences between different countries, and is a
feasible way to maximize the function of digital trade
competitiveness in cross-border trade of "reducing
costs and increasing efficiency".
In order to effectively alleviate the trade cost
problems caused by cultural and institutional
differences, do a good job in the language
construction of cross-border e-commerce network
platforms to ensure the accuracy and popularity of
translation (Anqi, 2020). Vigorously introduce
language professionals, deeply understand the
cultural and institutional differences of different
countries and solve the obstacles of online
transactions while reducing logistics costs.
