《中国—东盟投资协议》:成就、不足与完善

China-ASEAN Investment Agreement:Achievement,Deficiency and Improvement

《中国—东盟投资协议》在中国—东盟自由贸易区范围内创建了统一的国际投资保护法制,在保护外国投资者私益的同时试图兼顾东道国国家主权,此为其成就。但该协议也存在重大不足,如所约束的国家行为范围过于狭窄、缺乏审慎措施条款、根本安全例外条款未受到必要的制度性约束等。目前的当务之急是有针对性地完善该协议。

China-ASEAN Investment Agreement not only creates a uniform international investment protection system for China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, but also tries to balance the private rights of foreign investors and the sovereignty of host countries, which is its achievement. At the same time, severe problems exist in the Agreement, e.g., regulating an over-narrow scope of state conducts, lacking a prudential clause, and lacking necessary systemic restrictions in the essential security clause, etc. Therefore, it is very urgent for us to improve the Agreement.
