The epidemic has already formed an interim impact on China's foreign trade development, with poor logistics, prolonged production cycles, failure of normal performance of international trade contracts, and inability of foreign-funded enterprises to fully resume production. In the short term, the impact of the epidemic on China's foreign trade mainly includes two major aspects: incapability to meet the demand of supply of raw materials or intermediate products needed by enterprises, as well as the increasingly downward pressure on foreign trade. To address this problem, we must still adhere to expanding opening-up. We should therefore, do as follows: firstly, seize the "bull nose" of "stability of foreign investment" to stabilize foreign trade; secondly, open up the market, considering the primary task of stabilizing the market is the stability of orders; thirdly, smooth the circulation of foreign trade and create an ecological system of "stability of foreign trade". Only in this way can we respond to the current short-term crisis with a greater degree of openness, and seek long-term development with a higher level of openness.
