(2) Analysis of the prospects of the cross-border trade market in Yanbian Prefecture

Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, as the eastern pearl of Jilin Province, China, has laid a solid foundation for the prosperous development of cross-border trade with its unique geographical location bordering the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and profound cultural heritage.

Yanbian Prefecture is located in the core area of Northeast Asia, directly bordering areas such as Rason and North Hamgyong in North Korea, and has a unique land route. At the same time, through the cooperation and development of the Tumen River region, Yanbian Prefecture also has a sea passage connecting the Far East of Russia and Northeast Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. This unique geographical location provides great convenience for Yanbian Prefecture to carry out cross-border trade.

The in-depth implementation of the revitalization strategy of Northeast China and the “Belt and Road” Initiative has injected new vitality into the cross-border trade of Yanbian Prefecture. Meanwhile, North Korea’s open policy, such as the establishment of the Rason Special Economic Zone, has provided new market opportunities for enterprises in Yanbian Prefecture. In addition, Yanbian Prefecture actively participates in regional economic cooperation in Northeast Asia, carrying out extensive economic and trade cooperation with neighboring countries, further expanding the development space of cross-border trade.

Yanbian Prefecture and North Korea share the same cultural background, which provides a good basis for exchanges and cooperation between the two peoples. At the same time, economic and cultural exchanges between Yanbian Prefecture and South Korea are becoming increasingly frequent, and South Korean companies are investing more in Yanbian Prefecture, injecting new impetus into the development of cross-border trade. In addition, Yanbian Prefecture has also attracted more foreign tourists and businessmen by holding cultural exchange activities and festival events, creating more business opportunities for cross-border trade.

Yanbian Prefecture continues to strengthen the infrastructure construction of border ports, improve customs clearance efficiency, and promote trade facilitation. At the same time, the continuous improvement of transportation networks, such as the construction of highways, railways, and ports, provides strong guarantees for the rapid transportation of goods. The improvement of these infrastructures provides solid support for the development of cross-border trade in Yanbian Prefecture.

Although cross-border trade in Yanbian Prefecture has broad development prospects, it also faces some challenges. The economic situation and political environment in North Korea may have an impact on the stability of cross-border trade. At the same time, the trade settlement system and logistics system between China and North Korea are not yet perfect, which may affect the trade efficiency. However, these challenges also provide opportunities for Yanbian Prefecture to further promote the development of cross-border trade through strengthening cooperation, optimizing the policy environment, and other means.

In summary, the cross-border trade market in Yanbian Prefecture has great potentials for development. By fully utilizing its geographical advantages, deepening regional cooperation, strengthening infrastructure construction, optimizing policy environment, and promoting cultural exchanges, Yanbian Prefecture can better grasp the development opportunities of cross-border trade and achieve sustained economic prosperity and development.
