the connotation of the" digital strong trade"strategy is to take trade as the leader, industry as the foundation and service as the support to realize the networked, digital and intelligent development of the whole industrial chain of foreign trade." digital strong trade " The strategy is also the embodiment of the digital China strategy and the national innovation driven development strategy in the field of foreign trade and economic cooperation. The "digital strong trade" strategy not only includes promoting the development of digital service trade, but also accelerating the improvement of the digital level of goods trade. The digitization of traditional goods trade is not only the main part of China's foreign trade, but also the main aspect of implementing the "digital strong trade" strategy and promoting trade digitization. In the late 1990s, China put forward the strategy of "invigorating trade through science and technology", which has played a significant role in promoting China to become the largest country in the world's trade in goods. With the new round of digital technology revolution and industrial transformation, it is very necessary to implement the strategy of "strengthening trade through digital" from the new pattern of globalization, the construction of a new development pattern of domestic "big cycle" and "double cycle", or from the realization of leapfrog innovation in foreign trade to the goal of the 14th five year plan for high-quality trade development. China's foreign trade has ushered in the best opportunity from "revitalizing trade through science and technology" to "strengthening trade through digital". In the face of great changes that have not been seen in a century, accelerating the development of trade digitization will become the "source power" to promote the sustained, healthy and high-quality development of China's trade, which is conducive to accelerating the transformation and enabling the whole process of trade with digital technology, as well as promoting the digital transformation of foreign trade enterprises
