Dual circulation
Domestic-international dual circulation is a Chinese government strategy to reorient the country's economy to a "new development pattern" (新发展格局; Xīn Fāzhǎn Géjú) 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"). Dual circulation involves making the domestic market less dependent on external fluctuations and shocks while also making the country's economy more indispensable to the outside world.
