Against the backdrop of the restructuring of global economic and trade rules, embedding into FTA networks has become an essential approach for firms to cope with external shocks and sustain export growth. This paper constructs indicators of FTA network embedding from the perspective of corporate exports, and empirically examines its impact on export resilience using China Customs Database and National Tax Survey Database. The results show that firms' embedding in FTA networks can significantly improve their export resilience, and this conclusion remains valid after a series of robustness tests. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that FTA network embedding exerts a stronger improve effect on the export resilience of downstream firms, ordinary trade enterprises, capital-intensive firms, non-state-owned enterprises, large-scale enterprises and high-tech enterprises. Mechanism tests reveal that FTA network embedding enhances firms' export resilience mainly through two channels: promoting export product diversification and elevating innovation capacity. The findings provide new insights for Chinese firms to resist external uncertainty shocks and overcome export predicaments.
