Measurement of Foreign Trade Resilience in China and Analysis of Provincial Differences

Shanshan Wang

Abstract


Foreign trade resilience, as a horse-drawn carriage that drives the economy, is also critical to the optimisation and upgrading of
China’s industrial structure. This paper develops an index system to assess China’s foreign trade resilience, computes the trade resilience val_x005fue of various regions in China from 2010 to 2021 using the entropy weight method and analyses regional differences, and then analyses the
regional space using theil index and decomposition method: (1) There is a significant disparity in the development of foreign trade resilience
among China’s provinces, and trade resilience is clearly imbalanced. (2) Although the imbalance in resilience development in China and
other regions has improved, it has not been significantly alleviated, and it is primarily due to intra-regional differences. (3) The contribution
rate of the western and eastern regions to the imbalance is nearly equal among the four regions, and the imbalance in the eastern region has
worsened since 2018.
