中国与海湾国家的战略性经贸互利关系

Strategic and Mutually Beneficial Economic and Trade Cooperation Between China and Gulf Economies

中国与海湾地区经济交往最明显的特征就是20世纪末以来日益紧密的能源联系。目前,海湾国家(海湾合作委员会国家加上伊朗和伊拉克)已成为中国最重要的石油供给来源,中国是海湾国家的第二大石油出口市场。双方在能源安全方面的战略性互利,是能源联系发展的重要动力。中国与海湾国家之间存在的经济互补性非常明显,具有通过经贸合作实现共同发展的巨大潜力。在这种经济互补性基础上,中国和海湾国家之间逐渐形成了海湾地区的石油与中国的制造业产品和建筑工程服务相交换的基本贸易格局。双方目前正在进行的自由贸易区谈判以及在天然气领域开展合作的潜力,将为双方战略性经贸互利关系注入新的发展动力,也为双方的全面关系发展打下牢固的基础。

Since the end of the 20 th century,the most visible characteristic of China-Gulf economic exchange is their increasingly closer energy ties.Currently,the Gulf countries(the GCC States plus Iran and Iraq) have become the most important source of oil supply for China,which represents the second-largest oil exporting market for the Gulf countries.The strong driving forces for the development of energy ties stem from the strategic and mutually beneficial relations in the field of energy security.Thanks to the significant economic complementarities between Chinese and Gulf economies,China and the Gulf countries have great potential of achieving shared development by developing economic and trade cooperation.Therefore,the basic model of exchange of Gulf oil for Chinese manufactured goods and construction services has gradually taken shape.The ongoing FTA talks and possible cooperation in the field of natural gas would provide new driving forces for promoting the strategic benefits of economic and trade cooperation and lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of relations between the two sides.
