Second, solve the instability of the supply chain
    Establish a supply chain early warning mechanism: through the use of big data, artificial intelligence and other technical means, establish a supply chain early warning mechanism to detect and respond to supply chain disruption risks in a timely manner.
    Strengthen supply chain transparency: Promote information sharing and transparency enhancement of each link in the supply chain to ensure that logistics enterprises can understand the real-time situation of the supply chain and improve collaboration and decision-making capabilities.
    Establish an emergency response mechanism: formulate an emergency response plan and clarify the emergency response process and division of responsibilities to ensure a rapid and effective response in the event of supply chain disruption and other emergencies.

C. Responding to the shortage of technology and talents
    Increase technological investment: Encourage logistics enterprises to increase technological investment, introduce and apply new technologies, such as Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, etc., to improve logistics efficiency and intelligence.
    Strengthen the cultivation and introduction of talents: Strengthen the cultivation of talents in the field of cross-border logistics through school-enterprise cooperation and vocational training.

At the same time, pay attention to the career development and growth needs of employees, provide training and promotion opportunities.

IV. Responding to Costs and Pressure

    Promote green logistics: Reduce the impact of logistics activities on the environment by adopting green packaging, energy-saving and emission reduction transportation methods and other environmental protection measures. At the same time, pay attention to the dynamic changes in environmental protection policies and actively respond to environmental protection pressure.

V. Responding to Safety and Risk
    Strengthen safety management: establish a sound safety management system and emergency response mechanism to ensure the safety and reliability of logistics activities. Strengthen the maintenance and upkeep of transportation tools and storage facilities to prevent safety accidents.
    Improve risk prevention awareness: Strengthen risk prevention awareness education for employees and improve their ability to recognize and respond to potential risks. At the same time, strengthen cooperation with insurance organizations to provide insurance protection for logistics activities.

To summarize, for the difficulties that hinder the development of international logistics industry, it is necessary to start from many aspects and adopt comprehensive solutions.
