“印太经济框架”贸易议题发展动向及对亚太区域合作的影响

Development Trends of Trade Issues in the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity and Its Impacts on Asia-Pacific Regional Cooperation

“印太经济框架”(IPEF)是美国“印太战略”在经济贸易领域的主要抓手。自美国总统拜登于2021年10月在东亚峰会上正式提出IPEF以来,其进程一直处于快速发展中,尤其联通的经济、韧性的经济、清洁的经济和公平的经济四大支柱的谈判突飞猛进。IPEF虽然不是传统意义上的自由贸易协定,但其在经济贸易议题上的内容却越来越具体,新趋势、新动向也日趋呈现。文章采用比较研究方法,对IPEF与TPP、RCEP、APEC等亚太区域合作贸易议题进行比较,认为IPEF贸易议题具有战略性和前瞻性,并分析其对亚太区域合作产生的冲击,可能改变20世纪60年代以来亚太地区形成的区域合作机制。为降低IPEF对中国造成的负面影响,中国应深化改革、扩大开放,并推动亚太区域合作机制与贸易议题创新,深化亚太区域合作。

The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity(IPEF)is the cornerstone of the U.S.Indo-Pacific strategy in the field of economy and trade.Since the official proposal by U.S.President Biden at the East Asia Summit in October 2021,the IPEF process has been rapidly advancing,particularly with negotiations on the four pillars of"Connected Economy(I),Resilient Economy(II),Clean Economy(III),and Fair Economy(IV)".Although IPEF is not a traditional free trade agreement,its content on economic and trade issues is becoming increasingly specific,and new trends are emerging.In the paper,a comparative research method is adopted to compare IPEF with TPP,RCEP,and other Asia-Pacific regional cooperation and trade issues,and is believed that IPEF trade issues are strategic and forward-looking.In addition,the analysis is conducted on their impact on Asia-Pacific re‐gional cooperation,which may change the regional cooperation mechanism formed in the Asia-Pacific region since 1960s.To mitigate the negative impact of IPEF on China,China should deepen reforms,expand openness,and promote innovation in the Asia-Pacific regional cooperation mechanism and trade issues,deepening Asia-Pacific regional cooperation.
