Abstract:China’s original cross- border e- commerce policy cannot adapt to the developmen­t of transactio­n modes;and because of the implementa­tion problem concerning supervisio­n,the new policy introduced in 2016 cannot be fully implemente­d. Difficulty in the design of cross- border e- commerce policy is that we have to consider such goals as promoting domestic and internatio­nal market linkages,safeguardi­ng fair competitio­n,and supporting the developmen­t of e- commerce. And these goals correspond to the main concepts of trade policy,competitio­n policy,and industrial policy,respective­ly. Based on the inspection­s and comparison­s of internatio­nal experience,the author tries to propose an approach to balance the multiple goals and form a concerted policy effort. In general,the establishm­ent of a market with fairer competitio­n should be regarded as the direction of policy improvemen­t. On the one hand,the“policy dividend”exclusive to cross- border e- commerce should be promoted to a wider range;on the other hand,the traditiona­l trade companies should be encouraged to achieve technology updates and model innovation. In this process,more functional industrial policies are needed;and direct interventi­ons that are prone to complex effects should be reduced. The author also believes that we should be cautious when pursuing a single policy that includes multiple goals,and multiple policies may be adopted in a coordinate­d and balanced approach. Besides,being careful on institutio­nal design at the implementa­tion level will help to increase the acceptabil­ity of policy introducti­on.
