中国FTA实践进展及战略选择

China's FTA Practice and Strategy Option

双边自由贸易协定(FTA)的签署可以为成员国带来巨大的经济利益与政治利益。中国目前从FTA中获得的直接经济利益虽然相对有限,但仍然可从缓解国内面临的资源压力、赢得经济发展的良好外部环境、增强多边谈判中的地位等方面实现自己的利益。为进一步增加在FTA实践中的获益,中国应加快FTA步伐,适时与大国及重要贸易伙伴开展FTA谈判,且应将FTA涉及的领域拓宽至服务贸易以及多种合作便利化和合作形式等方面。

The establishment of FTA brings huge economic interests and great political benefits to member countries. Although what China has gained from FTA directly are relatively limited, the benefits could be realized from the aspects such as alleviating the resource pressures, maintaining favorable external environment for economic development and improving negotiating position in multilateral negotiations. To expand our benefits from FTA practice, China should expedite the process of FTA by negotiating timely with the big powers as well as the important trade partners, and extend FTA to service trade and a variety of facilitation and cooperation.
