The Internet technology has created a cyberspace parallel to the physical space and promoted the development of Internet trade. At the international level，the rules on Internet trade are developing towards the direction of eliminating obstacles to e-commerce and strengthening the electronic rights of traders. At the domestic level，the construction of the rule of law in the field of Internet trade，which takes the adoption of the General Provisions of the Civil Law，the Cybersecurity Law and the E-commerce Law as its starting point，is entering into a crucial stage. As a responsible big power，China should adhere to the rules of free Internet trade at the international level，while upholding the state’s legitimate power to regulate the Internet. Correspondingly，it should give full play to the first-mover advantage of domestic rules and actively create a comprehensive Internet trade governance system with Chinese characteristics.
