Abstract: Abstract Little is known about the interaction between domestic and international trade because of the paucity of data on domestic trade. The opening of international trade may change, for example, the extent of domestic market integration as more domestic goods are moved to ports that serve foreign markets. In addition, domestic infrastructure and market networks can also be expected to adapt as a greater volume of foreign goods are imported and subsequently distributed to different domestic market locations. Furthermore, as new goods are introduced by domestic producers to the foreign market, these Chinese-produced goods (what are commonly termed ‘native goods’) may occupy new and separate trading networks.1
