The outbreak of the coronavirus has brought a certain impact on the development of China's foreign trade and the utilization of China's foreign capital. In the short run, its impact is mainly negative. But we can seek “opportunities” among the “crises”. It mainly displays in the following two aspects. First, the impact of the epidemic on the service industry is higher. China is a big manufacturing country, and the impact is smaller compared with other countries. This will undoubtedly help "stabilize foreign trade". The second is the dislocation of the time of the outbreak of the coronavirus at home and abroad. Due to the initial progress of our fight against the epidemic and the gradual recovery of production in China, if properly handled, we do not need to worry about the relocation of the industrial chain, but our country may become a "safe haven" for foreign capital, which induces foreign capital to continuously move the industrial chain to China, especially the production links of high-end and key parts, thus bringing about high-quality development of foreign investment and foreign trade.Whether we can seek “opportunities” among the “crises” depends on whether we take effective countermeasures. We suggest considering the following countermeasures: first, we should stabilize the basic foreign trade market. Second, we have to strengthen the interactive development of foreign investment and foreign trade. Third, we should make greater efforts to expand the international market. Fourth, we should ensure the smooth operation of the industrial chain and supply chain of foreign-funded enterprises. Fifth, we should ensure that the core supply chain does not break. Sixth, we should further optimize the business environment.
