Abstract: In recent years, the Belt and Road Initiative has steadily advanced and achieved remarkable results. As a vital component of smooth trade flows, cultural trade holds unique significance for the development of the Belt and Road Initiative. This paper,  set against the backdrop of the Belt and Road era, provides a detailed analysis—both qualitative and quantitative—of Professor Chen Baifu’s book, Research on China’s Foreign Cultural Trade under the Belt and Road Initiative. Grounded in trade theory and supported by comprehensive macro- and micro-level empirical research, the study focuses on examining the state of cultural trade among countries jointly building the Belt and Road. Furthermore, it systematically traces the evolution of China’s foreign cultural trade policies over the past 40 years of reform and Opening-up. Drawing insights from these policy shifts, the paper delves into the challenges confronting China’s expanding cultural trade under the Belt and Road framework, offering practical and actionable recommendations. In particular, it presents a systematic exploration of viable pathways for advancing China’s foreign cultural trade in the future.
