    Abstract:

    China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) has been established on September 29, 2013; however, discussion about its functional positioning and future development is still ongoing. Though with great many disputations, a consensus has been arrived between the government and scholars that Shanghai Pilot FTZ should further expand the development space for and enhance the quality of foreign trade. Currently, China is in the critical stage of structural transformation, making the topic of how to take advantage of Shanghai Pilot FTZ to upgrade international trade more important than any other time. Therefore, we make a preliminary analysis about the current situations and future development of international trade in China, which aims to provide intellectual support for coming up with effective policies in constructing Shanghai Pilot FTZ. The following section of this chapter contains clarification of five facts, coordination of four kinds of trade, exploitation of three modes as well as focus on two tasks.
