Altana's Future of Trade Forum is a periodical publication dedicated to exploring the changing global trading system and the underreported forces shaping the global economy.
In this inaugural report, we examine the rise of China's digital trade network — a state-directed digital trade architecture with the potential to give China vast visibility and influence over the flow of the world's goods.
This digital trade network could allow China to surveil and control sensitive supply chains, force the adoption of Chinese trade standards, overcome tariff and economic security measures, violate sovereignty and market competitiveness, enforce its own export restrictions, and establish new and powerful chokepoints over the global trading system.
Read the full report to learn about the Chinese digital trade network, how it threatens trusted trade, and what it means for global governments, businesses, and more.
