CPTPP与RCEP的竞争及中国的应对策略

CPTPP and RCEP Competition and China’s Countermeasures

RCEP与CPTPP是亚太区域一体化发展的最新成果,地域与成员的重叠性使其成为亚太地区一体化的两种平行竞争路径。区域经济集团的竞争力不仅取决于其经济规模,还取决于所定规则的吸引力和主导国家的软、硬实力。RCEP的签署及生效有助于缓解中国面临的地缘政治经济压力。中国也表示将积极申请加入CPTPP这一亚太地区的新经济合作机制。本文认为,目前CPTPP仍有扩容潜力。在亚太地区大国博弈日益激烈的情况下,中国加入CPTPP具有重要的地缘政治效应,中国应主动对接CPTPP的高标准,构建与发达国家制度、规则和标准相协调的高质量市场经济体制。但不可否认的是,中国在加入CPTPP的道路上还有许多障碍需要克服。

RCEP and CPTPP are the latest developments in regional integration in the Asia-Pacific region,and their geographical and membership overlap makes them two parallel competitive paths for Asia-Pacific regional integration.The competitiveness of regional economic groupings depends not only on the size of their economies,but also on the attractiveness of established rules,the soft and hard power of the Leading Power.The signing of the RCEP and its entry into force could alleviate geopolitical and economic pressures on China.China also indicated that it will actively apply to join the CPTPP,a new economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia-Pacific region.This paper argues that there is still potential for expansion of the CPTPP.China’s participation in the CPTPP has important geopolitical effect in the context of the increasingly fierce game between major powers in the Asia-Pacific region.China should take the initiative to meet the high standards of the CPTPP and build a high-quality market economic system that is harmonized with the systems,rules and standards of developed countries.However,it is undeniable that China still has many obstacles to overcome on the road to joining the CPTPP.
