Against the background of increasing global economic uncertainty and rising requirements for green and low-carbon development, the synergistic development among digital economy, environmental regulation and foreign trade resilience is of great significance for the high-quality development of Chinas economy. This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation system of digital economy, environmental regulation and foreign trade resilience respectively, and measures the level of coupled and coordinated development of the three systems in 30 provinces and four regions of China during 2015-2022. It is found that the digital economy and environmental regulation are important supports for enhancing the resilience of foreign trade, and the coordinated development level of the three is higher in the eastern and central regions, while it is relatively lower in the western and northeastern regions, with obvious regional disparities. In order to realize the coordinated development of digital economy, environmental regulation and foreign trade resilience, this paper puts forward countermeasure suggestions such as strengthening regional coordination and classifying policies, optimizing the institutional and policy environment, enhancing enterprises innovation ability and risk-resistance, and promoting international cooperation and knowledge sharing, aiming at the simultaneous enhancement of economic benefits, environmental benefits and social benefits.
