The digital livestreamer named Yanxi has completed over 400,000 hours of livestreaming for more than 5,000 brands, attracting at least 100 million views, said a staff member at the booth of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com at the 2024 China International Fair for Trade in Services, which was held in Beijing earlier this month. China's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports reached 1.22 trillion yuan in the first half of 2024, an increase of 10.5 percent, according to an analysis report on China's e-commerce regional development big data released at CIFTIS. Digital trade services in the era of AI are expected to provide one-stop export services for enterprises, thereby creating new growth points for services trade, said Liu Guangjun, head of the Chinese merchants division of Alibaba.com. As digital technology continues to advance, it will further promote the development of global services trade in the future, said Long Guoqiang, deputy head of the Development Research Center of the State Council, at CIFTIS.
