Domestic Trade Circulation: The Perspectives of Regions and City Clusters

This paper discusses the role of different regions and city clusters in the domestic trade circulation. Three regions play different roles. The eastern region is the domestic trade center, the central region provides basic raw materials to eastern region and western region, and the western region shoulders national strategic mission (guaranteeing the supply of important raw materials). City clusters have a high contribution to total domestic trade and total regional trade in which they are located. They have a significant impact on the characteristics of regional trade.There is a weak trade linkage between regions or city clusters. We should take city clusters as the targets of policy, strive to improve the development quality of city clusters, optimize trade structure, and enhance domestic circulation.
