Domestic-international dual circulation (simplified Chinese: 国内国际双循环; traditional Chinese: 國內國際雙循環; pinyin: guónèi guójì shuāng xúnhuán) is a Chinese government strategy to reorient the country's economy by prioritizing domestic consumption ("internal" or "domestic circulation"), making the economy more self-reliant in key sectors, reducing dependence on foreign markets, while also remaining open to international trade and investment ("external" or "international circulation").[1][2][3]
The economic policy of dual circulation was first put forward on 14 May 2020 by the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)[4][5] and later revised by CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping to stress prioritizing "internal circulation".[6] Dual circulation involves making the domestic market to be less dependent on external fluctuations and shocks while also making the country's economy more indispensable to the outside world.[7]
