Under the deepening background of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, cross-border e-commerce, as an emerging trade form, has ushered in significant development opportunities. However, due to notable differences in legal regulations among countries along the route in customs supervision, tax systems, intellectual property protection, and consumer rights, Chinese cross-border e-commerce enterprises face issues such as conflicts in applicable laws and high compliance costs in practice. This paper analyzes the current problems in Chinas legal regulation of cross-border e-commerce, including fragmentation, insufficient extraterritorial effect, lack of international coordination mechanisms, and low efficiency in dispute resolution. Drawing on international experience, it proposes building a multi-level legal system, implementing differentiated liability allocation mechanisms, and using blockchain technology to optimize cross-border dispute resolution. The study argues that through domestic legislative integration, promotion of regional agreements, and deepening international cooperation, a systematic and forward-looking legal liability framework for cross-border e-commerce should be established to effectively reduce corporate compliance risks, enhance the global competitiveness of Chinese enterprises, and promote high-quality development of cross-border e-commerce under the Belt and Road Initiative.
