RCEP投资规则与国际投资治理的新发展

RCEP Investment Rules and New Developments in International Investment Governance

在全球经济衰退、单边主义和贸易保护主义加剧的背景下,《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)的生效体现出以东盟为主导的“东盟10+5国”对于发展区域经济的决心。从投资规则角度看,相较于既有的RCEP成员国间的投资协定,RCEP投资规则顺应国际投资治理的发展趋势,在投资便利化、东道国规制权、可持续性发展、ISDS和投资规则的灵活性适用等方面作出了彰显发展中国家参与当前国际投资治理的贡献。为深度融入全球投资治理,中国作为RCEP的主要推动者,应当继续推进投资便利化的实施,积极促成RCEP下ISDS机制的谈判,帮助发展中国家提升国际投资治理的能力,并着力构建一个公平合理的多边投资协定。

In the context of the global economic recession,the intensification of unilateralism and trade protectionism,the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)reflects the determination of the“ASEAN 10+5”countries led by ASEAN to advance the regional economy.From the perspective of investment rules,compared with the existing investment agreements among RCEP member states,the RCEP investment rules conform to the development trend of international investment governance,and make the contribution of highlighting developing countries to the current international investment governance in terms of investment facilitation,host country regulatory power,sustainable development,ISDS and application of investment rules flexibility.In order to deeply integrate into global investment governance,China,as the main promoter of RCEP,should continue to promote the implementation of investment facilitation,actively facilitate the negotiation of the ISDS mechanism under RCEP,help developing countries improve their capacity to govern international investment,and focus on building a fair and reasonable multilateral investment agreement.
