WTO框架下双边自由贸易协议的新形式——CEPA实施的意义

A New Form of Bilateral Free Trade Agreement under WTO——The Significance of the Implementation of the CEPA

CEPA在性质上属于区域性安排协议,但是,CEPA是WTO框架下双边自由贸易协议的新形式;同时,CEPA是贯彻“一国两制”基本方针的新举措;CEPA是构建大中华经济圈的起点;CEPA进一步有力地加强了内地与香港的经济联系。

The nature of the CEPA belongs to an agreement on regional arrangement- but- it is a new form of bilateral free trade agreement under WTO. At the same time it can be considered as a new measure to fulfill the basic policy of 'one country- two systems'. It is also a starting point of the construction of the greater China economic area- and its implementation has strengthened the relationship between the China's Mainland and Hong Kong.
