Prospects, dilemmas and ways of the rule of law for digital commerce in the framework of the Belt and Road

Abstract

Global digital transformation and fundamental changes in the management system open up new opportunities for the development of digital trade along the Belt and Road. The Digital Silk Road received a new mission and task, attracted active attention and broad participation of the countries located along the Belt and Road. In the process of developing digital trade along the Belt and Road, certain dilemmas must be overcome during the construction of the Digital Silk Road. These include problems such as the imbalance in the value of the global digital order, the deregulation of international rules of digital governance and large differences in the regional development of the Belt and Road. Guiding and promoting the construction of digital trade along the Belt and Road in compliance with the rule of law principle, as well as promoting the development of digital rule of law in various countries through the Belt and Road digital trade is of great importance for promoting the qualitative development of digital trade along the «Belts and Paths». Specific ways include: creating a rule of law framework for a «Digital Community of One Destiny», establishing rule of law rules for global digital governance and promoting mutual trust in the rule of law in multilateral cooperation, etc.
