关于出口加工区几个问题初探

Tentative Analysis of Some Problems Related to the Processing Regions for Export

一、出口加工区的诞生和发展六十年代中期以来,一些发展中国家和地区为了加速本国和本地区的经济发展,实行了对外开放政策,先后建立了出口加工区。截止1980年底,亚洲发展中国家和地区已经建立和正在兴建的出口加工区将近30个。如印度的坎德拉、圣塔克鲁荪,马来西亚的马拉卡、雪兰峨,新加坡的裕廊,菲律宾的巴丹、马克坦,南朝鲜的马山、伊利,斯里兰卡的卡图纳亚克、毕扬甘玛,泰国的民武里。

After describing the inception and development of processing regions for export and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages to the developing countries and foreign investors, the author maintains that such regions constitute a new form of production and exchange engendered by a given stage of development of the world's economy. To a certain extent they reflect the new features of current international economic relations and suit the needs of the increasing division of labor among countries. The developing countries should formulate appropriate policies, laws and regulations to safeguard their own rights and interests as well as the legal rights of the investors, and ensure that the processing regions develop on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. For the socialist countries, setting up processing regions for export or special economic zones is one way of utilizing foreign capital. Special economic zones, a new phenomenon in China, are still in an experimental stage. Methods used by foreign countries should be studied in the light of China's conditions, and China's own experience should be constantly analyzed with a view to bringing the advantageous aspects of the special economic zones into full play for this country's socialist modernization effort.
