Abstract: In the context of today’s globalization, the rise and development of the digital economy has become an important engine to promote the growth of global trade. The relevant policies of RCEP countries will promote the development of their own digital economy level, and RCEP member states, as important trading partners of China, can have an impact on China’s export trade with the rapid development of their digital economy. This paper selects the relevant data of RCEP partner countries and China from 2012 to 2021, takes trade facilitation as the intermediary variable, and explores the internal mechanism of the influence of the development level of digital economy on China’s export trade. The results show that the improvement of the digital economy development level of RCEP trading partners has a driving effect on China’s exports, and the level of trade facilitation plays an intermediary role.
