Currently, the global economic and trade landscape is undergoing profound adjustments, and the industrial and supply chains are accelerating their restructuring. China's foreign trade development faces both challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, the traditional foreign trade growth model relying on cost advantages and scale expansion is difficult to sustain. On the other hand, digital intelligence and service trade are leading a new round of transformation in the field of foreign trade. Actively supporting the use of new technologies and tools to empower the development of foreign trade, continuously promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional foreign trade, and deepening the development of foreign trade services into specialized sub-sectors are effective paths to promote the high-quality development of China's foreign trade. Therefore, taking the empowerment of digital intelligence as well as the revitalization of trade services as the breakthrough points, and actively cultivating new driving forces for high-quality development of foreign trade are not only the strategic choice to cope with profound changes in the external environment, but also the inherent requirement to alleviate the dilemma of industrial involution and manifestation of involution, as well as to build a new development pattern. It is also an important foundation for China's deep participation in global value chain governance.
