Abstract: The exchange of goods and services across borders plays a vital role in the modern economy.Cities,where the factors of production such as labors,lands,capitals,technologies and information aggregate,have served as centers of trade and distribution.As more and more people move to cities pursuing urban life,metropolitan areas will likely continue to play an integral part in global trade.This may be particularly obvious in China,where the urbanization is rapidly marching ahead.Our annual report,Top 100 Foreign Trade Cities,measures the competitiveness of Chinese cities in developing international trade.We have an overall ranking list of the most competitive cities in developing foreign trade,which is in effect a summative assessment of five indicators,including level,structure,efficiency,development,and latent capacity.In the newly released version of the report,the trend of industrial transformation and upgrading has continued.But the fluctuation of small and medium-sized cities,the disequilibrium of indicators,and the imbalance between districts,have revealed the vulnerability of the overall trade pattern.To find a way to attain coordinated and sustainable development,China will need to steady its growth in refining economic structure,and to boost its economic transformation in encouraging innovation.
