Abstract

Guangxi's digital economy industrial strategy faces significant challenges including fragmented overall framework structures, inconsistent regulatory standards across different jurisdictions, and inadequate rule of law implementation mechanisms. The main problems manifest as insufficient overall rule of law guidance in strategy formulation and implementation processes, disordered regional coordinated governance systems lacking unified standards and coordination mechanisms, and absent cross-border regulatory frameworks that fail to address the complexities of international digital commerce. These fundamental issues stem from deeply rooted traditional governance inertia characteristic of frontier ethnic regions, persistent regional development imbalances that constrain coordinated rule of law implementation across different administrative levels, and unique cross-border opening characteristics that significantly increase the complexity and difficulty of effective strategy implementation. This comprehensive research proposes a systematic framework approach from three critical dimensions: rule of law guarantee mechanisms that establish fundamental institutional foundations, rule of law guidance systems that provide coordinated strategy frameworks, and rule of law regulation instruments that ensure precise implementation and monitoring. The study aims to achieve these strategic objectives through systematically breaking entrenched traditional governance patterns, actively promoting coordinated regional development initiatives, and effectively addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by cross-border opening requirements in the ASEAN economic integration context.
