中国市场经济地位之辩

Debates on China's Market Economic Status

在中美贸易关系日益密切之际,向来推崇自由贸易的美国,为何坚持给中国贴以“非市场经济”之名?理解这一切,离不开美国目前的贸易状况以及经济结构的转型。同时.在国内愤慨驳斥声中,我们意识到来自外部的力量也许更能推动中国市场经济体制的完善。

The US Department of Commerce held a seven-hour-long public hearing on China's market economy status for the first time on June 3. The Chinese representative urged that it was time to grant China's market economy status. The hearing marked the first step toward resolving the years-long tough problems that had plagued the Sino-US economic and trade relations. Dai Yunlou, commercial counselor of the Chinese Embassy to the United States, pointed out in his speech that now is high time for the United States to grant China the market economy status. This is beneficial to Beijing as well as to Washington. Imposing unfair extra tariff on Chinese products seriously harms US interest. He thinks using the price of a substitute country at the anti-dumping time is in itself a price-twisting practice that violates rules of the market economy. Dai says in conclusion that China welcomes the process of appraising China's market economy status. He expresses the hope the process can press ahead and finally lead to identification of China's market economy status. But most analysts believe that China has to go a long and complex way before it wins US recognition of its market economy status.
